Sony\u2019s CRE-C10 in-ear<\/span> hearing aids are stunners in every dimension<\/a> except for one: The tiny in-the-ear devices<\/a> rely on replaceable hearing aid batteries instead of an integrated, rechargeable one. While some people may appreciate replaceable batteries\u2014much longer run time, no need to wait for a recharge\u2014I\u2019ve heard nothing but complaints about them. For the most part, people now seem to be gravitating to hearing aids<\/a> that don\u2019t require fumbling with miniature batteries once a week, and then worrying if the dog will swallow the spent cell.<\/p>\n

With its new CRE-C20 hearing aids, Sony corrects this issue, and it does so in style: The new hearing aids<\/a> look nearly identical to the winning C10 aids, but the hatch for a replaceable battery has been replaced with a small contact that allows its internal cell to recharge in its new case.<\/p>\n

When I say nothing else has changed on the look and feel of the C20 hearing aids, I mean it. To the untrained eye, they are almost impossible to tell apart from their predecessors, and they still vanish incredibly well<\/a> into the ear canal due to their small size. The weight of each aid remains the same at precisely 1.34 grams.<\/p>\n
