I heard from a Resound rep that the ONE would support Bluetooth 5.2 with a future software update, as was mentioned earlier.
But I asked them about if there was a microphone for true hands free streaming, and the ONE unfortunately does not have that.
I’m hoping the next Resound has this, as Phonak uses it, and it’s one feature the new version of low energy wireless is able to support.
I also hope the next generation iPhone or even iPhone 12 support 5.2. But I wasn’t able to get confirmation from Apple since it’s a future product spec.
I am hoping that Cochlear considers it as they develop the next generation of processor as well. The Kanso 2 was released on time true to previous timelines of release. If the release schedule continues to be followed for the next BTE Cochlear device, it hopefully would be released later this year since the N7 was released in 2017 and the BTE devices follow a 4 year release schedule (N6 was released in 2013).
