Hi Jonathan,
I really haven't noticed any real improvement with shortening of the delays when using the streamer. The streamer also wasn't my first choice as a way to listen to music either. The streamer I had did sound rather muffled. I have used a neck loop in the past. I thought the sound quality was much better than what I received from the streamer. Both clearly disappointing compared to a set of Bose. You raise a good point about using a cable as opposed to a streamer. If individuals are open to using a cable instead of a streamer or the apps that are now available, I think it broadens the choice of hearing aids that we can consider when buying. As you well know, access to IOS devices is only one part of the picture. Hearing in noisy environments, localizing sound for mobility purposes, and enhancing overall communication are also issues that need to be considered. I agree the audiologist is key to helping the individual select the correct hearing aids for their lifestyle. I have been with the same audiologist for 15 years. I am going to read your blog posts over the weekend.

I was curious to find out if Apple had been able to do any work on latency. I find the latency with a streamer was just bad enough that it affected typing on the virtual keyboard, and that's why I went back to a direct cable connection. Obviously if these new made for iPhone hearing aids could solve that latency, it would be a huge breakthrough for VO users who also wear hearing aids.

At least not the way I understand streamers. As far as latency is concerned, I do notice delays particularly when using the mail program. With everything else, it seems okay.

This is the big problem with using Bluetooth streamers, it's noticeably laggy with VO.

It's like using a bluetooth headset. Now, the sounds from the iPhone such as notification alerts and the ringing of the phone when calls come in go through the iPhone speaker. Apple hasn't implemented phone sounds to go through hearing aids. As for using a streamer, I don't use one, although I know a VO user who does use a streamer with her aids. This is all very new for me, so I don't know a lot yet, but I hope to get these working properly on Monday when I meet with my audiologist.

They are optimized for and compatible with the iPhone. I am using mine with the iPhone 5S. I am not receiving sounds through both of my ears. That did occur for about two minutes, but didn't hold. I have been in contact with my audiologist and Starkey Tech Support. I have tried their suggestions which include disconnecting and re-pairing both aids, powering off the phone and opening the battery door on both aids to re-initialize them which did occur and probably other things without success. Also, I notice that there is a key conflict between turning on and off of Voiceover and getting to the Hearing Aid options, triple click home for both. Although I tried to re-assign the behavior of triple click home from VoiceOver to something else, I couldn't easily get to the hearing aid options anyway. Has anybody had experience with this model? If so, suggestion on resolving this would be appreciated. Also, since I am in the evaluation phase and have 45 days to decide whether I wish to keep this model, I'm wondering if there are other aids that are compatible with the iPhone that I might wish to consider? Thanks. Les -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
