While we’re on the subject of that Phonak app … Crazy question: could this app program the aids to stream to a MacBook Pro laptop with NO TV Connector unit? Last night, my hubs was asking “Why, in 2021, do you need the TV Connector unit plugged in to the laptop to stream when you can stream with NO device at all when using a cell phone? Ask that on the board tomorrow.”
And so … I submit the question, cuz it bugs me, too! Is it a Bluetooth version issue? An Apple control issue? My cell phone is a Samsung S6 (and I see that the Phonak phone app would be compatible with it) but what is the benefit of that phone app in a nutshell?
Does it make it easier to switch programs or turn volume UP/DOWN as opposed to just using the button on the aids?
Can you use it to stream to any device other than the phone itself?
Much obliged for your insights, cuz the Phonak website is full of the usual vague blahdy blahdy that’s more marketing fluff than info I can make sense of.
