@Psych1, could you share the link or product info. I am new at this but travel quite a bit.
Just search on EBay for taotronics bluetooth transmitter they are now $10 or Amazon for $20. I seem to be unable to paste the link from my phone.
This is one of the models. Am going to purchase this but you may be interested to check other Taotronic models.
It should work with any Bluetooth. But I don’t know if the Signia have a connectclip same as Oticon or something else.
For some reason I still can’t post a link but once again I recommend searching on Ebay for the Taotronics BT transmitter. It is only $10 instead of $30 but that is not the only reason I am recommending it. It is a BT transmitter only, not a 2 in 1 combo with a receiver. That is, it is designed to only do what it seems most here are interested in doing. It will not do what you will probably never want to do anyway. But the main reason to get this one, for either airplane or TV, is that it is more simple, with fewer unnecessary components, no unnecessary switch, and thus easier to use and probably more reliable .

I also found this on eBay . It’s C$10 (around $US 7)
OK, reading all this again before I purchase, couldn’t I somehow use the transmitter to BT direct to me HAs (Signias) or through my iPhone as a controller? I don’t have the ConnectClip type device and at that point, would just use the headphones I guess.
Signia makes a SteamLine mic, my question is, why can’t I go direct to my HAs with the transmitter?
I have the connectclip but it’s different than the Edumic you shared as it doesn’t have the 3.5mm port. Is the Edumic also compatible with OPN S? It doesn’t she this as one of its accessories
Oh, yeah! There is 3,5mm jack input!!!
It looks just like the connect clip but in white and not black
I just looked it up at Oticon website and it’s actually compatible with all OPN series.
I will ask my Audi to exchange my Connectclip with it. It’s much more useful than as we will have the 3.5mm port+you can use it to connect to Telecoil loop +FM SYSTEMthis what the the brochure mentioned)

I think the EduMic is only compatible with the Pediatric OPN aids. Hopefully, I am wrong.
Please let us know what your Audi says. The 3.5 jack was very useful on the Streamer Pro on previous generations of Oticon Aids (Alta’s, Epoch and others.)

Thank You AshFan! I can’t seem to get to that page on the Oticon site.
This is good news. I need to talk to my Audi about the EduMic. Looks like it combines the best features of the Streamer Pro and the ConnectClip.
Thank you. I got them paired easily. This is good news. I will have to see if it works despite all the background noise on a plane. I’ve been taking my plug in Bose headphones that fit over my hearing aids. That gives me quiet and good tv sound quality. But they are bulky.
Don’t forget to mute the hearing aid microphones. That will eliminate most of the background noise.
Actually on my last flight, while I was trying to sleep, I just put volume low (-4) it didn’t mute the surrounding but gave me enought quietness. I think with the volume of entertainment it will be close to natural.
The only drawback of closed domes was the ear vacuum while Landing.
