Turning EduMic on changes Real's to wrong Mic program automatically. How to change this?

The EduMic is a mic that allows me to understand my kids at the dinner table. It also allows me to connect a Roger X to the DAI port, that allows me to connect to a RogerOn microphone. Very nice. A friend, who is a British resident brought it with him today, so I paid the British price which is 297£ instead of the Dutch price which is 625€!!

When I turn the EduMic on/off, the program of my Real 1’s changes to the mic program automatically. That program is attached to the mic of the streamer, though. The EduMic is received as a TVAdapter in its own program.

Now, I would love to have the aids change to the EduMic program when I turn it on. Or not change the program at all. I remember that Phonak’s Target has got a box somewhere, that you can check to en-/disable this feature. However, I can’t find it in Genie 2. Does anyone know how to do this?

I only have the TV Adapter and not the Edumic. But as long as I can tell, the Edumic is treated in the same way as the TV Adapter is.

I’m not aware of any way to make the specially created program for the TV Adapter /Edumic to be your default program because it’s a specialty created program and is not available to choose from in the list of options for the default main program 1.

Do you do this because the On mic works better for some use case than the EduMic mic?

EduMic and TV Adapter have same program. You can select EduMic or TV Adapter separately by pressing pencil icon in Companion app.

Yes, the EduMic is not meant as table Mic or pointing Mic.
For instance, while we’re eating you would get loony using the Roger on mic in table mode, because of the cutlery noises. The EduMic misses that perfectly and I can enjoy dinner and understand my girls. However, in larger setting with multiple conversations the EduMic isn’t good enough.

I’ve added the word automatically to my question. I’ve no trouble manually setting the program for both the EduMic and the TV Adapter.
The trouble is that the EduMic switches the program automatically to that of the Mic program of the Connect Clip.

So I have P1 to P4, the TV Adapter/EduMic program and the Connect Clip mic program. Turning the EduMic on or off switches the program automatically to the last and wrong program.

Is there a way to change this?

@Markismus

Did you ever find a solution?

I’ve given my EduMic to my friends son as I can’t return it and his is going into the wrong program as well.

He would love to make it manual so has to switch to that program, himself.

So Xceed doesn’t do this, but Real does? It’s very strange…

Nope. When it turns on it goes to the wrong mic program, then I hold te button down and it goes to the right TVAdapter/EduMic program.

So Oticon does not have any adequate remote microphone. Connectclip reduces the volume by itself. Edumic turns on the wrong program without sound. Shame :person_facepalming:t2:

The only way to get it to manual is to connect more then 10 pairs of Oticon Aids too the Mic and then it’ll be set as manual.

No other way to make it manual as far as I am aware.

I only know 2 other people with Oticon Aids Altho one friend has a set of NHS and private Oticon so that’s 4 x pairs so still not enough to make it manual.

Grrrr :imp:

I don’t have Edumic, and I’m wondering what kind of microphone program it is. What does it look like in Genie? Perhaps Edumic mistakenly adds a non-existent Connectclip with a separate program, and it can be deleted in Genie (trash icon next to Connectclip)?
