Hi Richard,
Good to know about the Open fits. Smart that they use Hearing Aid
design to provide audio.
My hearing aids can connect to Bluetooth and play the phone but that is
problematic. The quality is minimal, the speakers are designed for a different
purpose. And, if the hearing aids are busy playing audio or GPS directions the
hearing aid function is compermized, in my experience. Best is to have the
hearing aids do their primary job and a headset do its job.
I’m expecting the Echo vision glasses, I’m hoping the arms of the glasses don’t
conflict with the hearing aids. If they go straight back then they won’t. My
Bose frames work pretty well but there is a lot of audio bleed out for others
around me to hear.
Thanks for the description of the buds you are familiar with.
