Don,
Did you try opening both battery compartments completely and then re-closing them? Sometimes that resets the circuitry, just like rebooting your MAC. Mine, different brand, have a beep, beep, beep tone prior to the batteries getting too weak. They will do that 3-4 times over an hour or so and then shut down, if I don't replace the batteries. I have on off, program, and volume controls on both BTH devices but one side of either controls the other in unison. I did not want automatic volume control since I knew from my first pair that only my brain could determine the best volume depending on the environment, wax build up, and tinnitus, at a particular time.
I have one of those carry in your pocket controls but don't use it. Much easier to just do it on one of the ear pieces and one less piece of junk in my pocket to get crushed or lost.
Proper/comfortable fit of the ear molds is what separates an experienced audiologist from a beginner. Not only must they be trimmed to fit comfortably but also to not distort the sound of your own voice too much, as well as not leak air so they don't squeal when you move your jaw in some weird expression. They are worth the effort, as I said in the beginning of your thread, to capture more high frequency loss. You said after your test that you did have a good bit of high frequency loss so once they are adjusted/trimmed properly and the air hole is sized correctly you will have all the advantages your model's technology can give you.
Too bad you have to drive so far for adjustments. That increases the overall cost.
