    First thing that would worry me would be wax build up, if it's not allowing any air in (esp if any such hole gets bocked by wax).

    If the battery goes, and you're not near a specialist, are you fcuked?

    I think it's analog, and it's one use only, so once used, you need a new one. Thus, 3 a year? I think I'll stick with my current hearing aids.

    Agree with you there.Also, apart from wax, what about condensation. I don't see any advantage in wearing one 24/7 - good night's sleep and all that!
