As you can read here, I’ve been around the block. My positive results with that procedure above did not hold. I went back to pairing via the app.
After that re-pairing procedure, I had a successful call with my wife who said the sound quality was good through the aid’s mics. I later made a call and the other person said she had difficulty hearing me - bad connection. I went back to pairing with the app and had a good call again. It may just be inconsistent, or I’m getting through initial roughness. We’ll see how it goes in another day or so.
So, you can pair the aids using the Jabra app. Assuming the aids are not paired, follow the app’s instructions.
The alternative is to pair the aids to the phone using the phone’s bluetooth connection settings. You put the aids in pairing mode by opening and closing the battery doors so they restart. They should then show as available in the connection settings. Choose the aids when they appear and they should connect. But, when I’ve done that, they aren’t connected to the app, so you have to go through the pairing with app in order to use it.
Any clearer?
Edit: There is also “Tap to Connect” in the “Hearing Aid Support” settings. I thought that was to set up answering the phone, but it is just another way to do pairing directly to the phone.
I’ll get my wife to call me when she is free and see about answering by pressing a button on one of the aids. Instructions I saw didn’t specify forward or back. Maybe either when the phone is ringing. TBD
