I have a new NHS pair of Oticon Engage that also use bluetooth, my phone connects automatically, playing any media and calls from my phone straight into my ears, it was weird at first but now i’m accustomed to it, I wouldn’t have it any other way!
I’m not sure how they would sound if I streamed the tv through them though, I don’t think there’d be enough bass for me…does anyone have any experience doing this?
Cheers
Darren

Oticon Engage are Made For iPhone so you won’t be able to stream from a Bluetooth TV.
You’ll need one of these.
Knowing if there’s enough bass would be hard to say as we don’t know your hearing loss or what domes or ear moulds you are using.

Thanks Zebras, I have a mild high frequency loss and my domes are double domes without vents, which, this time, were new to me. I find them a little better than the previous ‘vented’ domes.
I really enjoy immersive loud tv and currently us AirPods Pro, but the sound is not always the clearest when you have a high frequency loss. Previously I used the Swing digital system which was great (I may yet buy a new one). I just wanted some thoughts on these HA’s first.
Thanks Darren
Hi Darren
I picked up two new Engage P’s last weekend from the NHS.
I can pair and control the various adjustments using the ON app.
Happy with the sound, but I cant stream or answer calls on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.
What phone are you using?
Cheers

They only work with iOS iPad or iPhone.
Not true!
The Otiocon ON Android app works 100% - Streaming, answering calls etc. - If the phone is using Android 13 OS.
Unfortunately, my Note 10 is on Android 12. (sad face)
You’d have to find if the Note 10 has an M and a T rating. The M rating signifies how your phone will function with the hearing aids microphone. The T rating, on the other hand, measures how your phone will pair with the T-Coil.
When the number is higher, that means it will work better with your hearing aid device. An ideal number to look for is around 3 or 4.
ASHA phones work with android 12.
I can’t find any specs on the Note 10 indicating support for ASHA at all.
I am interested in this topic. can you help me to understand. My hearing aid is called Zeren MFI. i just have android pixel 5. when i connect the hearing aid detected but not connected, can this be tricked by ASHA theory or my hearing aid is pure for iphone?
I’ve never heard of Zeren MFI. Do yuou Mean Bernafon Zerena?
ASHA is supported by the Bernafon Alpha.
Here is the info you need.
Hope this helps.
im a typo. Bernafon Zerena ZR5 MNR
yap. Alpa is For android . i know that
Hi, I also have Option engage hearing aids. I can’t find out how to direct stream from my phone. I have an android phone running version 14 (latest version). I have the Option companion app on my phone but can’t find a way to hear music from my phone directly into my hearing aids.
Are your aids connected in the companion app?
Can your Samsung Galaxy Note 10 be updated with Android 13 OS? I ask cuz I had a similar issue a year ago: my Android Samsung Galaxy S9 + (I think) came with OS 12, and that was giving my Phonak aids only 12-13 hrs a day of battery use. I learned at the forum here to update it to OS 13 and now have been getting 17 hrs use/day pretty reliably.
O’course it took my egghead hubs ALL DAY to find the OS and download it - at that time, Samsung had not officially released the OS 13. But see if you can find OS 13 and update your phone with it. GOOD LUCK!
