One of the reasons I left Talktalk was that their latest router (Hub 3)
had a fault in the firmware which meant it could not provide Wifi
calling, and Wifi calling was of course essential. My new router from
Andrews & Arnold of course supports it.
The mobile signal goes straight to my hearing aids, but not to my
wife's. Her loss is now classified as profound.

(The reason for sticking with BT was that my wife had a severe
hearing loss and they provided special phones. Also the mobile signal
in the house is appalling).
My father has severe hearing loss and rarely used a phone for ~50
years, even the special one with built-in amplifier.
He currently has a mobile phone, and the sound quality is better - he
can actually use it now.
Lately we've been trying to get it to connect directly with his
hearing aids, which is a further improvement.
As for the appalling signal strength in the house - WiFi calling
enabled phone should help with that, maybe?
All this has been helped by the greatly improved quality of hearing
aids, of course, but mobile phone greatly improved his ability to
communicate.
Plus there's fall detection features, etc.
Just my 2ยข...
