I have gotten by with only a cellphone for a long time when the hearing aids fail. :) Better than carrying a notepad around.

If it's really urgent, then I just go to the nearest electronics store and fork over money for overpriced batteries.
 
Batteries, batteries and more batteries,I need alot as I have CI, my other half is also deaf so i carry his batteries too, also I am LSA for deaf school so need ALOT of batteries in my bag!!! and of course my Iphone! cannot live without it!
 
batteries and my pager. I can live without my batteries but my pager, hell no!
 
I have a CI (N5). If I'm on a trip I carry my case that has a dryer in it. Spare batteries and sometimes a small cloth in case I need to clean a little.
 
I usually just take my phone and if my batteries fail then oh well.
on a lot of occasions I do take my bag with me and that has batteries in but a lot of the time I forget to take batteries with me
 
At school, I carry my iCom and zoomlink and always have extra batteries with me. It's important for me because my hearing aids do help when I teach in the classroom, or when there is a public reading event.

But, when out in the world or in social/casual environments, I don't carry anything. Like others have said, if the batteries fail, so what?

I see some people mention pager.. Curious...How is that different than a cell phone? I haven't seen one I guess. :shrug:
 
my everyday thing I carry when I go out - 2 wallets. pocket knife. watch. carabiner with dozen of keys. blackberry.
 
Batteries, cellphone, and if I decide to purchase the smartlink then I guess I would be lugging that around too.

Pagers are the ancestors of smartphones.

Some people still call their smartphones-- pagers.

:ty: I have never heard them called that except here. Thought maybe there was a special type for the deaf perhaps
 
Ah I see. I just got into the upper end phone market this year. In my old business I destroyed or lost my phone often....Only the cheapies made sense.
 
iCom is from phonak..it's bluetooth streamer and audio streamer and zoomlink is another FM system from phonak
