Yes! Mine is on 24/7 though! But when battery was getting low and was shutting off on its own I did feel that way. Plus I could always tell by feeling pressure in my ears! Weird, and Dr. Did not know why. My battery lasted six years. On one side only though but 24/7!

Blessings,

Carol. <><

My DBS unit is re-chargeable but I have no reason to shut it off. Why would you shut it off?

Apparently some people think that if they switch it off on a night when they go to bed they are saving the battery but in reality they are using it more.My husband just sort of went off slowly as his battery began to run out but no sweats.

Have you considered DBS? It is recommended for people with midstage PD who for whom meds are no longer working well!

Don't wait too long to get DBS--' if you're Parkinson's gets too severe it won't work as well ....
