In Phonak Target: How can I adjust the volume of the ambient mikes while streaming TV and the Phone?

You have 3 options to choose from (settings in Target):

  1. Default: your aid’s volume button (up/down) are used to mix the loudness. More of ambient sound or more of streaming source sound. Up -> Streaming is louder. Down -> ambient sound is louder.
    I found this not satisfiyng, since the ambient sound cannot be switched off completly. And if I want to mute the mics it causes to increase the loudness of the streaming sound.
    Or
  2. Disable the mics when streaming. (in Target-SW: Fine tuning, Autosense, streaming program options). This cuts the ambient sound completely off, up/down buttons change the loudness of the streaming source
    Or
  3. Long press button down to mute/unmute ambient sound. (in Target-SW: Device Options)
    Muted: This cuts the ambient sound completely off, up/down buttons change the loudness of the streaming source only.
    Unmuted: up/down buttons change the loudness of both ambient and streaming simuntaneously.

This is for the Paradises, it might be different for older HA’s

My P90’s is configured as #1 in @sterei’s text and i don’t always like it, but sometimes it good to have the ambient sound on.
But in the myPhonak App (at the phone) i can mute the hearing aids completely, but the streaming sound will continue, I use this method if i look at TV/Movie alone.
