Reconsidering My Purchase of Philips 9050 From Costco - Pairing Issues

This new hearing aid purchase is really turning out to be a pain in the… uh… EAR!

Thanks for the insightful and useful responses. I’ve also learned a lot from this thread:

The bottom line is that HA manufacturers, in a rush to “new technology” have made phones, tablets, and computers obsolete for any kind of two way communications.

Yes, the AudioClip apparently works… and for ONLY $260… but what a pain in the ear… now I have to carry this clip device when I ride my bike, walk, whatever.

It appears that the Jabra Enhance 20 Pro has the same issues, with the exception that it will apparently stream to my phone (Samsung S20 FE 5G) but not actually function for communications unless I use Jabra’s version of the clip. Do I have it right?

Again, thank you. I’ve worn HA’s for more than 20 years… and the big focus used to be, “so how do they sound”. Now, that’s one of multiple considerations. Hoorary for technology.
