  Felicia RandallAug 3, 2025
  If the Bernafon hearing aid LED blinks orange or red when placed in the charger, it could be due to several reasons: * The hearing aid or charger's temperature might be too warm or too cold. Move the charger and hearing aid to a location with a temperature between +5°C and +40°C (+41°F and +104°F). * Charging might be incomplete because the room temperature exceeds +35°C (+95°F), extending the charging time. Try reinserting the hearing aid into the charger to complete charging within approximately 15 minutes. The charger may have stopped charging to protect the battery. * The hearing aid may not be correctly seated in the charger. Reinsert the hearing aid into the charger to complete the charging within approximately 15 minutes. * Check the charging ports for foreign objects.
