Glad you are enjoying your new purchase. Have you got voice prompts enables? That might have to be set by your audiologist too, its quite useful actually. It is talking to me, yes. For instance when the device which is active changes, it announces the name of the device. Is that what you mean? The remote control features don't seem to work unless I'm doing something wrong. I can adjust the volume of the ComPilot, but not the hearing instrument. Nor can I change programmes. So I think I'm going to have to go and get him to enable that. One thing I've noticed is that the BlueTooth range of the ComPilot, in comparison with the iCom, is poor. The audio output is better but they seem to have sacrificed range. Also, I am experiencing a lot of situations where the device is switching to my iPhone at random. It's quite odd, but there it is. I think there is some tweaking required to be honest and, of course, the suppliers say that if Phonak releases any firmware updates you have to send the device to them to have the update implemented or maybe see your audiologist. The disadvantage with the latter option is that you wave bye bye to your warrantee. Gordon You are right, the sound quality is better than the iCom and basically includes almost everything I kept pestering Phonak about. Sorry to hear your still in pain fella, I always thought where there was no sense there was no feeling? ;) Chris On 17 May 2012, at 23:14, Gordon Smith wrote: > Hi all > > Today I received my new Phonak ComPilot from the supplier.
