Danalogic Ambio BTE won't connect to FlooGoo FMA120 device

Hi all,

I’m a long time hearing aids user and I’ve just received my FMA120 device to use with my Danalogic Ambio aids.

The problem is the FMA120 doesn’t detect my hearing aids at all. Would this be because my aids firmware s 1.18.1.1? I’ve checked the BeMore App on my Android phone but there’s no newer firmware available. I assume my NHS Audiologist has to do this.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks,

Steve

Bluetooth dongle with Auracast support - FlooGoo FMA120
We’ve been waiting for such a beast for a while. Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CN71FL92/ Manufacturer’s product page: https://www.flairmesh.com/Dongle/FMA120.html I emailed them asking for information and they replied. I’ll copy it verbatim. I don’t think there’s anything there that they want to keep private. My take is that Auracast is working assuming you have a phone that supports it (which is probably Samsung) but point-to-point LE Audio is a work in progress for hear…

Your settings look fine, but based on the information in the link below, the Ambio doesn’t support —only the newer Extend model does. I’m not sure why @Zebras mentioned that the ‘S’ version supports it.

If it does support LE Audio, could you also try temporarily turning off Bluetooth on your Galaxy A35 to see if that makes a difference? After that, you may need to place the hearing aids back in their charger and then take them out again to initiate a new pairing. Please also use ‘Add Device’ in the FlooCast app to start pairing from the dongle.

I didn’t say S version supports . I was just asking if he had the S version as just the Ambio version doesn’t contain any Bluetooth at all.

Should add especially as you’ve put the screenshot up, the original Ambio only supports use of an App, it doesn’t support full Bluetooth.

I’ve tried that doesn’t make any difference. Even my Dad’s Bluetooth enabled hearing aids don’t connect either, but will connect to a Windows Phone or Android based Phone perfectly.

As a side question, does anyone know how the TV Streamer 2 transmits the audio to the ?

Thanks for your help,

I have a TV Streamer 2 and so does my Step Mum. I’m not sure how it connects, but it works wonderfully. You can get them cheap on eBay.

My Step Mum got hers from this seller and paid £60.00. I got mine from another seller.

I know there are 3 channels which you can connect up to 3 TV Streamers or a mixture of the Microphone and TV Streamer.

I’ve been doing a little digging and found that my Galaxy A35 uses the Bluetooth SBC codec ver. 1.5 to transmit audio. Don’t know if this is of any use?

Oh cool.

The TV Streamer is good. I’ve got it connected to my DAB Radio.

My Step Mum got a Multi Mic for £65 as well if that is something you’re interested in?

Just in case anyone else is interested. This is the link to the MultiMic for best offer of £65.

I’ve had these Ambio aids since July 2022, although they do seem to go faulty after a while. Got a trip to the Audiologist this Tuesday coming to see if they will replace my right for a 3rd time!

The issue is when I use it for about a week it will lose the sound and die (even with a new battery), even my phone doesn’t detect the aid anymore. When the Audiologist test it it doesn’t play up! So annoying!

At the moment I’m using my left HA in my right ear, not ideal I know! I’ve tried the Phonak aids but they were too crackly for my liking. Been wearing HAs before I started Playschool!
