Hey, I have got Oticon engage form NHS in uk, they got Bluetooth so when I was first given Bluetooth hearing aids I was so happy as they work with my iPhone X like a headphones.
Now I am thinking of moving to android phone pixel 7. I can’t anywhere if I can stream music and take calls on pixel as well.
Anyone got Oticon engage and android pavone can guide me. I know there is android app for them.
The pixel seven is a new phone so you might have to wait to see if it is compatible with your hearing aids usually they have a list of phones on the oticon website i think that says what phones they are compatible with. The engage hearing aids aren’t listed I don’t think but here is a link to compatible phones list. Hearing aids compatibility guide | Oticon
Not exactly, it mentions MFI and is a simple acknowledgement that it is an Apple product. A continued search indicates it is compatible with Android 10 (or higher) and bluetooth 5.0 (or higher).
I could probably help your friend get connected to his Android work phone (if it’s compatible and IT hasn’t locked out user changes).
The Google Pixel 7 ships with Android 13 on it. It will have the best HA support to date, of any Android phone. The Pixel 7 was just released this week. Android 13 will be released to many current model phones before the year is up.
Pixel 7 is fully ASHA compatible (it’s Google’s phone which invented ASHA…) it works with my Signias just fine (and should work with any other ASHA HAs as its universal). You can pick call through them but you cannot use them as mic, for speaking. Speaking through HAs during calls is only possible with iPhones .
Just letting you know that Phonak has been using the HA mics to talk hands free on both Android and iphones for 6-7 years I believe. It’s a great feature that many really like.
I want to bite the bullet on a Pixel Pro 7, but listening to music is important to me (not bothered about using it as a phone) I have the Oticon Engage BTE PP - anybody manage to link them up? Cheers!
