Reverting back to tcoil after Bluetooth

Hearing Aids
#22

Ooo thanks for sharing this. Hadn’t realised you could get a loop with a Mic attached!

#23

No I don’t use a loop. But I do have to use speaker phone on the phone with my profound hearing loss.

#24

I wouldn’t want to use speakerphone when out in public.

The telecoil in my iPhone works very well. I just put my iPhone up to my ear.

#25

I usually don’t use my phone in public. But on a side note I have a Samsung galaxy frontier watch with bluetooth connected to my phone that works really well in public. I mean really clear understanding the other person.

#26

Ooo, so can you use your watch to take / make / decline a call?

#27

Yes I can use my watch to accept and make calls via bluetooth

#28

But do you then have to get your phone out to talk?

Or are you able to link a Phonak ComPilot to the watch and not bother about getting your phone out?

I’m trying to understand if there’s such thing as a smart watch that allows me to do that.

#29

I don’t have ComPilot so cannot tell if the watch will work with CP. And no I do not have to get my phone out to accept a call. The phone needs to be within the bluetooth area to accept calls

#30

But you must have to get your phone out to talk or do you talk into the watch once you accept the call?

#31

I talk into the watch

#32

Oh wow that’s good. I’ll have to investigate that. That’s what I’ve been looking for.

#33

Yes do some research because I’ve had this watch since Jan 2018 with not too many problems. I bought it originally for heart beat monitor and these watches especially samsung don’t know about apple but I’m sure it does probably the same thing are a lot more than just watches. I’m will be getting the Naida M90 this week not really excited because the M90 only come with the 13 battery and I really love the long battery life of the 675 with the Naida V90 We will see. I needed a backup with my hearing loss that is the reason for the upgrade.

So i changed them. I got t coil model and got audio to set tcoil program with no mic

So far i do hear so much better in noise. Good bye bluetooth. I rather hold the phone to my ear when in noise
