Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a landline phone which works directly in connecting to my hearing aids. (or if it even exists yet, not “Landline to cell to aids” or “Link2Cell”) Thanks!

Looks like this would only work with Sonova (Phonak) hearing aids and maybe new Signia/Rexton aids that use Classic.

You might want to consider using a Yealink SIP-T54W with the FlooGoo FMA120 to directly connect to your hearing aids via the latest . The Yealink T54W supports USB wired headsets, so it could treat the FMA120 as a wired headset, allowing the dongle to forward the USB audio to your hearing aids.

Bluetooth dongle with Auracast support - FlooGoo FMA120
Thanks for confirming this. The reconnection issue with the phone could also be related to the hearing aid firmware, as it needs to switch between LE Audio (with the FMA120) and ASHA (with the phone). It might be worth reporting this to TruHearing as well. If the FMA120 consistently reconnects when the phone connection isn’t switched (just as a test, since phone calls are essential), that would suggest the issue isn’t something the dongle itself can resolve. LE Audio is still relatively new for …

I didn’t check the specs of the Phonak Sphere I90. Since it supports both classic and LE audio, you’ll only need the Yealink SIP-T54W, as the phone supports classic Bluetooth.

To best of my knowledge Phonak Infinio Sphere does not currently support . It has the necessary hardware but would need a firmware update.

I think the one @BarryH shared might be a better choice for personal use. The only concern is that their webpage mentions, “The handset must be close to the user to ensure optimum microphone function.” This seems odd because, with Bluetooth HSP/HFP, the microphone on the hearing aids should be used instead of the one on the handset. However, I’m not familiar with how HSP/HFP is implemented on these hearing aids, and you probably know more about the Phonak Sphere I90 than I do.

Smart function: Bluetooth connection to a hearing aid.

Look forward to more freedom when taking a call: This phone lets you take calls via a direct connection to your hearing aid. Because, thanks to Bluetooth 4.2, Gigaset E720HX cordless handsets enable easy integration of modern hearing aids. This makes taking and making calls even easier – and more convenient, too: You have both hands free and enjoy crystal-clear voice transmission.

The handset must be close to the user to ensure optimum microphone function.

The Gigaset E720HX is compatible with Phonak, Unitron and Hansaton hearing aids and potentially with other brands whose products support Bluetooth with HSP and HFP protocols.
