Oticon Check Battery Percentage While Charging

Apologies if this question has come up before. I Googled around for an answer, but I couldn’t find one.

With my Oticon More 2s, I can see the battery percentage using the Companion app. There’s also a nice estimate of hours of use left. However, all this goodness is available only when the hearing aids are not charging.

Drop the hearing aids into the charger, and they go offline. The only indication of status is the binary amber/green LED, which isn’t very fine grain. And, of course, since the hearing aids are offline, the Companion app also doesn’t show an estimate of time remaining until full charge.

This, I guess, was state of the art four years ago when I bought the More 2s.

What’s the state of the art today? Any Intent owners out there know if the Companion app shows battery percentage while charging?

How about other brands? Does Phonak, for instance, show percentage while charging?

Note: normally I don’t care too much about this. When the hearing aids are new I just drop them in the charger at bedtime, and they’re green in the morning, but when the battery starts to fail, it sure would be nice to have.

Still not possible or available for the INTENT aids. But the companion app will say that the aids are charging.

Oh. That’s actually a step forward then. The hearing aids stay connected.

Yes my Phonak aids do.
