I have Oticon hearing aids with MFI (made for iPhone) capability. I do have to turn off Bluetooth, say for Jim to talk to my daughter-in-law, because if I don't, and I'm anywhere close to him, her conversation will come through my hearing aids.
My sighted sister and husband both got hearing aids at the same time, always use Bluetooth, as does my other sighted sister. One time, the sister and husband were up in the morning, and her phone rang. She couldn't hear a thing, but he could. They'd gotten their hearing aids mixed up! He had on hers, and she had on his. We got a lot of laugh mileage out of that one. So, yes, both my sighted sisters keep theirs on Bluetooth to their hearing aids. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of R Van Lant Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2023 5:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: hearing aids and iPhone Hi, I am plunging into the world of hearing aids. While it’s mostly because I have difficulty with quiet voices and loud environments, the guy who will set up my aids did tell me they can connect to my phone. I’m assuming most sighted people only connect theirs when listening to a book or music; that is what the guy made it sound like. I’m trying to get my head around what that is like for voice over users. Do you leave hearing aids always connected to the phone? Sometimes I’m on my phone and want to show my sighted family something. Would I have to turn off the hearing aid connection to let them hear the audio from the phone? They guy told me I’d have 4 to 5 programs set for different contexts. Any recommendations of things I should ask when I go in to have the programs set up for the aids? Thanks in advance.
