Well call me AMAZED!!! My hubs wondered if these new Phonak Lumity Life aids have Bluetooth multipoint capability built in? “Say WHAAAAAAA?!” I’d never even heard of it! So first I read an article about what it is … and then I PUT IT TO THE TEST!
What have I got to lose?
I first turned the aids OFF, then back ON again to pair them up to my MacBook Pro (with macOS Monterey). Then I connected the aids to my laptop, surfed up to Youtube, found some smooth jazz and VOILA!! Beautiful music streaming with NO TV CONNECTOR needed at all!
While listening to that soothing jazz, I asked hubs to call me on my cell phone. He did, and I was able to override the music to take his call streaming into my aids. WOW. Life is GOOD!
That inspired us to get my Astell & Kern portable music player and see if I could pair/connect to that, too. I typically take this, a TV Connector, a portable battery pack, cables and yada yada on all flight so I can stream music. Well, imagine my surprise when I was able to pair and connect the Life aids to this player, too!
I feel LIBERATED! I’ve seen threads here on the Oticon ConnectClip and Bluetooth multipoint, so now I can CROW from the rooftop that the Phonak Lumity Life aid has Bluetooth multipoint capability. If you are wearing these aids - check it out! Just pick TWO (and only 2) devices to connect & pair with. Then have someone call you on a cell phone and see that the call overrides that other device.
I will shoot my audi an email about this, cuz I think it’s another great incentive to buy these aids! They may not be waterproof as claimed, but nowhere on the website do I see Phonak making a big deal about its Bluetooth multipoint capability.
Of course, I could just be late to the game, and others here have known of it for a long time?
