Phonak Marvel Bluetooth

One example of how I use two connections is having one phone handling navigation and the other on a conference call. The iPhones recognize that I am on a call and instead of giving full voice directions from the navigating phone for a turn, just sound a chime. Meanwhile I am able to hear the conference call from the other phone and easily go on or off mute. I use this 3-4 hours nearly every work day. I am going to try connecting the navigating phone to the Subaru using CarPlay and have the navigation instructions on the dash and turn the volume way down.

It IS wonderful not to have the Compilot Air II around my neck. I always had to wear a t-shirt to cover it up and occasionally forgot to turn off the LED and would find people staring at my neck.

Checked out the NoahLink hardware and am surprised at how reasonable the pricing is. Found the link for the software at (Noahlink Wireless)

You don’t need any software other than Phonak Target 6.1 and the Noahlink device. Check your private HearingTracker mail.

Great! Sounds like things are coming together for you.
Consider adding your audiogram so I can see if we’re at all close. If you click on my Avatar picture you can see mine.

Take a look in the DIY forum. Look for fitting software.

The compilot 2 connects to two phones and a third streaming device. So when streaming, if either phone rings, I take it on the compilot. The streaming pauses until the call ends.

The Resound Phone Clip+ connects to two phones.

I dont know how they do it, maybe multiple radios.

I’m using OnePlus 3T running android 9

It has bluetooth 4.2 could it be that the HA don’t support older bluetooth versions?
Your google phone has bluetooth 5.

At the same time i tested using my mom’s phone instead which was Moto g6 play and it streamed fine actually. Maybe I should just get a new phone perhaps.

I used this and checked and they’re supposed to be compatible.

That’s weird then because I’m having really bad issues with streaming when outside. I just sent mine back and got a temporary ones and issue is persisting with the temporary HA as well. So it must be something wrong with my phone… even though it streams fine with my Plantronics Backbeat fit.

But on the other hand my mom’s newer phone streams fine with the HA. I think it may show that my phone for whatever reason isn’t working properly with the HA, new phone might do it.

Thanks for the link though that will be useful.

I don’t have any experience with anything other than the phone I have. Both the Marvel M90-R and the phone are the same since I got the Marvels on Dec 26, 2018. My Pixel 3 XL phone runs Android 10 and the Bluetooth 5.0 is backward compatible to the Bluetooth 4.2 on the Marvels. No doubt Bluetooth 4.2 on the Marvels was chosen to be compatible with more phones. All I can relate is my own experience with the hardware/software combination I have and the Pixel and Marvel streaming has been rock solid for almost a year now both inside and outside.

Inside I have a NetGear Orbi Mesh router connected to a Comcast fiber network. My WiFi connection averages 240 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up anywhere in my home. Outside my phone connects using Google Fi to a very strong cell tower connection that is less than a mile away when I go walking. I stream music from Primephonic.com at lossless CD quality.

I just use local .mp3 files to listen to music.

OK. So neither WiFi or Cell Tower signal will make any difference.

They really shouldn’t make a difference with the quality of bluetooth stream.

I just checked my mom’s phone at my college it too cuts out but significantly less than my phone. I could actually hear the podcast. While on my phone it would be unbearable to listen to due to the constant cutouts.

So there is some small issue with the hearing aids I think since it’s not perfected the bluetooth streaming in some locations but it’s my phone that is causing incompatible bluetooth streaming it seems.

Could you send me the tread about bluetooth channel being to one ear but transmitted across the head to the other! Just acquired some phonak marvels, need to stream music and phone which will only transmit to one receiver!

Is it possible to sign up on the forum as a Registered Provider and not actually being one? Asking for a friend. :sunglasses:

Are you intending to transmit to one side only, or do you currently have, as a problem, the case of only hearing it in one side?

I can’t tell what you’re getting at from your phrasing.

If you only want it on one side, turn the other HA off (and make sure the side you want it on is programmed to be the dominant or default bluetooth receiver via Target settings).

There’s no way I’ve heard of to restrict BT music or phone transmissions to one side, because nobody wants to do this. However, there are probably settings in Target. For instance, maybe there’s a left-right balance control that you can turn all the way to the dominant/default side.

Had a difficult time streaming from a Yamaha YSP-2700 sound bar using my Phonak Marvels. When disconnecting bar to connect to phone the BT on the sound bar would be grayed out when attempting to reconnect to bar. Discovered a firmware update to bar solved the issue. Very pleased with the streaming with my own volume control. Wife has exceptional hearing so is extremely happy. Overall very pleased with the Marvels, best yet. Fourth pair of Phonak HA’s over 15 years.

I have read thru most of this thread but maybe I missed something. I have had my Marvel’s for about 3 months now which I got from the VA. I have 5 months to decide if I want to keep them or exchange them for something else. I want/must be able to connect to three different devices without forgetting and re-pairing and according to what I have read so far it can’t be done. Two yes, three or more no. I know I have to disconnect from one to use the other, no problem there. I want to connect to my iPhone, iPad and my Panasonic Blue Tooth enabled land line phone. I don’t have the time to keep forgetting one to re-pair with one of the others. I also have to always remember to do this and I do sometimes forget. Since the Marvels seem not to be able to do what I require what other brand might be able to do this? The VA pretty much will give me any brand in any price range so money is not an object.
