I understand. I also look for ways of customization a few issues tied with HAs: REM, recently Acoustically Optimized Ventilation (maybe it’s enough 2mm diameter with shorter vent canal?). Keep my finger crossed to your success;)
I am currently trying Phonak Paradise (RT-90). I find them somewhat unstable, both in themselves and with the Roger Pen / Table Mic. I can edit something in the app (ie. change some of the frequencies) and a few minutes later, the setting has returned to standard. Or I can have the roger pen connected, and suddenly it goes back to autosense and I hear nothing through the roger pen. The pen is still on and blinking green, but I have to enter the app, wait for the connection and choose the roger program for the pen to work again.
I use an andriod phone. What can I do to fix this? I did get a tips to turn off notifications, but I can’t turn off all the notifications, and the ones I’ve turned off haven’t made any difference.
Has that bug, Cliff is talking about in the vid (being thrown out of a custom program when any notif comes in) , already been solved?
edit: as I see @athorod’s post, appaerantly not.
Are all P users bumping into this?
I was in a web demo with Phonak and asked that question, and they said they needed the higher voltage of the rechargeable battery to make the motion sensors work. Also space issues since the battery takes up space where the sensors are.
I am using a P90 R for 1 month, it’s enough for you to tap your ear behind your hair. You don’t need to touch device. So it’s a good experience to have.
I have the Paradise/Audeo Life aids and “tap control” (tapping on the pina - and thank you SO MUCH for clarifying that, cuz I was tapping all over my ear to no avail) does not do a thing.
I’m guessing this is an option I have to have my audi enable?

You can enable etc in the App for Tap Control.

Hey THANKS for that! I’m getting in to see my audi tomorrow and by golly, I’ll get the “pina colada” tap control set up!

I find that the “tap control” works better on my Paradise P90R’s with the new App. My habit is to tap on the side of my head, my temple. Works well. Looks strange when others see it…
Ah! So are you saying I’d need to download the Phonak app on my Android cellphone in order to activate the “tap control”? Cuz I don’t have that on my phone as it had so many negative reviews here…

I’ve used the old app and the new one. My first reaction was very negative. That’s because things had changed. Once I got past that I found the App more useful. I’m glad I have it. I wish it was better. Frankly I’m very disappointed they put crap for health in it. A simple fitness band does a better job.
I would encourage you to try it out. And be patient, as I wasn’t and it took me longer!
PHONAK had an app for my old copilot II with my old hearing aids. And then they deleted it. That was … (carefully biting my tongue.) So I don’t trust PHONAK to continue to support the product I buy with useful apps.
Yes that’s what I said earlier. It’s all in the myPhonak App.
ACK. I’m just so NOT wanting anything more on my cell phone.
But I still have to ask: is tap control worth it? 
It is to me. It may or may not be to you. Wouldn’t the way to find out be to try it? Why don’t you download the app and turn it on then delete the app if you don’t like that.
I use it. . I find it useful. YMMV.
LOL! I had to Google that: “Your Mileage May Vary”! Perfect analogy for using the phone app I’m thinking.
I still haven’t downloaded it … but am not ruling it out completely. I just want to get the ear tip comfort situation taken care of first.

Looks like there’s a new Phonak platform launching soon
All I can get out of my contact is that it’s called Phonak Lumity so Audeo L I guess?
All models are apparently rechargeable (rip zinc batteries)
I can’t wait to see what they have cooked up this time

I hope that there will be some ric model with a slightly bigger battery so that it lasts longer when we stream the sound.
Well the battery is limited by the size of the aids. Have you considered a larger size aid?

These hearing aids are RIC, and there is no stronger RIC with a stronger battery from Phonak. . There is BTE, but I don’t want BTE, I’ve come to love ric hearing aids. And rechargeable hearing aids. I would like Phonak to release a version of the RIC with a stronger battery, I know there are experienced hearing aid wearers who would like a stronger battery.
