These are NHS Aids and I thought they only worked with iPhone / iPad.

EDIT - I was wrong. It’s ASHA compatible as well.

You’ve got to look for a phone that is equipped with ASHA technology as I believe not all Androids allow it.

via the following link you can find a official List of Samsung smartphones supporting ASHA bluetooth

==================================================================

with the following link you can find a list of Google Pixel smartphones with support of ASHA

Note HAP is the new standard for Bluetooth LE Audio (BLE Audio / Auracast)

From Pixel 3 onwards every Pixel smartphone is ASHA compatible.

From Pixel 7a onwards every Pixel phone support BLE Audio (exclude Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro which do not support BLE Audio)

First I have heard of the Hearing Access Profile (HAP) referring to LE Audio. Thank you!

From the link, for others benefit:

"Pixel phone compatibility & ratings

Certain Pixel phones can stream audio, like media and calls, directly to hearing aids over Android Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA) or the Bluetooth SIG profile Hearing Access Profile (HAP). These ASHA and HAP hearing aids connect to Pixel so you can stream audio and answer phone calls.

To use these functions, both the Pixel phone and the hearing aid need to support ASHA or both the Pixel phone and the hearing aid need to support HAP."

Think of buying a Samsung 16 5g phone any one got one.

I’m a bit late to the party here as I’ve only just joined the forum, but yes - I’ve just invested in a Samsung 16 5G and have started using it with my NHS hearing aids. Going really well so far!
