Shabbat: Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Question

I just got rechargeable hearing aids that are good for 19 hours. My question is twofold:

Can you wear hearing aids on Shabbat?
Can you take the hearing aids out of the charger to put them on on Shabbat

    It is permitted to wear rechargeable hearing aids on Shabbat but only if they are charged enough that they will not need to be recharged on Shabbat. If they will need a recharge on Shabbat, they cannot be worn on Shabbat even if they can be placed on the charger and removed from the charger while it is off.
