I have 2 Phonak Paradise HA's that use bluetooth le. If I put the phone on silent then I don't get interrupted by texts or e mails, yet when I get a call it rings on my ears. Using on both a Galaxy S10 and an iPhone 8. May be useful to someone.
Excellent video - thank you. Just listening to this Video via Bluetooth Classic - Phonak Audeo Paradise P70. Sound quality is great. In fact - the audeos have three bluetooth connections in parallel. One low energy connection for each side (configuration of programs, volume, etc via the phonak smartphone app) and one bluetooth classic connection to my right HA for stereo streaming, phone calls, etc. The right HA streams the left audio channel to my left HA. So it is stereo and I have no delay at all👍 Due to the Bluetooth Classic interface, connectivity ist outstanding (TV, computer - video conferences, smartphones, tablets, car, etc) But sometimes the change between different devices isn't as smooth as it could be. In phone calls my voice volume ist sometimes little low on the "other side".
Yes, we have had this feedback many times. It is quite typical of bluetooth to be a bit glitchy with transition. We have also had the feedback about your voice on the 'other side' being too low, or there being too much background noise. We are hoping that Phonak starts to offer an option where you can stream the audio to the hearing aids but use your phone for the microphone during these times!
Another superb video, Emma. Thank you very much. Now a question (if you have any time and inclination). Do we know (at this point) what happens in this situation? Say a Phonak Paradise is connected via bluetooth to an iPhone, wearer is listening to streaming audio. Then the wearer gets into a car and connects that iPhone to Carplay via the usual USB cable (not bluetooth). Does the streaming to the Phonak stop and the audio come through the car's speakers... or do the wired Carplay and the bluetooth Phonak fight for the audio stream?
Thank you!! Great to hear you enjoy the videos. Once you plug in the USB cable, the bluetooth streaming will pause and the carplay will take over. You can then choose to change this via the phone, to go back to the bluetooth streaming. Hope that helps!
@@LewHarriman You're welcome. Remember that with Apple, their protocols could change anytime there is an update...which seems to be once a week these days!! haha
As someone who works remotely, Bluetooth is the primary thing for me. How does the compatibility look like for ASHA and MFI? How can I connect to e.g. an older Android device or a tv or a computer for remote meetings at work?
Hi Kat M, Unfortunately if you have a hearing aid that uses MFi or ASHA, then you would still need to use an accessory to stream from an older Android device or TV/computer. The only options on the market that allows you to connect to anything other than a Smartphone are ones that use Bluetooth Classic, i.e. Phonak Marvel/Paradise, or Unitron Discover/Discover Next/Blu.
Thanks Emma. I've been unsuccessfully trying to Bluetooth pair my SIGNIA Pure 7NX 13 hearing aids with my Garmin Forerunner 645 music watch. The Bluetooth version 4.0 on the Garmin and the hearing aids have Made for I Phone , does this mean the instruments incompatible for bluetooth connection ?
Hi Damian, Signia Nx is only compatible with iPhone for direct streaming, which is why you've been unsuccessful. In order to pair with any other device, you'd require an accessory.
@@DamianKnoblanche. Sorry for the delay. The streamline mic would be a good option for you. Here is a link for more information: www.signia.net/en/chargers-and-accessories/streamline-mic/
Hi MIchelle, absolutely! If you're finding you need more assistance, there are remote microphones available from most manufacturers for this exact reason. They help to boost the speech signal and can send the signal to your hearing aids using Bluetooth.

Such a helpful video. Thank you!
Can Bluetooth on a hearing aid be connected to a receiver device to help the person hear conversations at dinner table?
Hi MIchelle, absolutely! If you're finding you need more assistance, there are remote microphones available from most manufacturers for this exact reason. They help to boost the speech signal and can send the signal to your hearing aids using Bluetooth.
Great information!
Thank you, that was very informative.
Thanks Bill!
Thanks useful video. 👍
