Due to Army blast damage have severe left ear hearing loss. Have been wearing aids since late 80's most Phonak or Oticons. Have worn 2 sets of Phonak. Have had the Audeo V and use the Copilot on a cord under my shirt with a remote mic clipped on the neck cord to the side of my throat.

Last summer tested newest Phonak -and they eliminated the Compilot and go direct to the phone. BUT cannot connect to phone in pocket. Deal Breaker.

Working to see how much better the
