Just wondering if anyone has any experience going between either of these three brands in terms of BTE connectivity. I just very recently got a Phonak with a Compilot accessory and it seems to work okay but I’m not a huge fan of the lack of user-end software support (i.e. there’s no phone app for direct control). Also, the neckloop isn’t my favorite thing. Ideally I’d like to be able to keep the unit in a shirt pocket while on the move and be able to use it to stream audio while at home on my desk, without having to wear anything around my neck (except as necessary to secure the unit within a reasonable range). As far as I can tell the Compilot transmits directly to the hearing airs via the neckloop itself so the loop actually has to be in very close proximity to my ears and that really limits the convenience of the device.
The other two brands I see without neckloops are Rexton and Resound. The Costco rep was telling me she was having problems with the signal cutting out between the MiniBLU unit and the hearing aids; I don’t know if this is a common problem or if she was just using a bad unit? Has anyone tried the Resound one (Phone Clip) and can offer any feedback on the signal quality? I’m less concerned about Bluetooth connectivity between the phone and transmitter and more so between the transmitter and earpieces. I would most likely be using the unit hardwired via 3.5mm cable moreso than Bluetooth.
