That feeling when you break your hearing aid charger trying to mod it but still need it to hear. #hearingaids #failure #diy #electronics

I successfully replaced the battery but ripped off TWO of the usb pads while trying to take off the old micro usb connector. Was basicly a lost cause after that. Couldn’t get a reliable connection with my old TS80 iron.

I love the fact that #AirPodsPro can be used as #HearingAids, but have you ever tried setting them up for a 92-year old technophobe who has already lost most of their hearing?

“Huh?”

“ARE THEY IN ALL THE WAY?”

“How do I know?”

“Are they comfortable?”

“Huh?”

Super frustrated but not yet defeated.

Update about my deafness, and it isn't good news.
