I know you know what is. You were using its poor uptake by phone manufacturers and hearing aid manufacturers to support your 3-5 year prediction for . I’m saying it was nothing but a half-baked misadventure that interested no-one partly because every manufacturer knew there was something infinitely better coming just down the road. The hearing aid manufacturers definitely knew it was coming because it was their association that approached Bluetooth SIG in 2013 and proposed development of a new standard.

You can’t use the history of ASHA to predict the future of LE Audio. The two protocols are not comparable

What’s very annoying on ReSound’s part is that they’ve inserted a red exclamation notification into the My Resound tab of the Smart 3D app. Every time you launch the app, you’ll see the notice and if you open the tab to that section of the app, you’ll find they’ve just put the red mark by the Direct Audio Streaming information.

ReSound App Support gave me a fix: uninstalling and reinstalling the Smart 3D app makes the ‘phantom notification exclamation’ on Direct Streaming availability go away. Problem solved!

Update 2020-07-24: Oops! Phantom Exclamation Point for Direct Streaming Availability came back today! So much for “problem solved!”

Are any of those three not a Pixel or a Samsung? lol You changed your post half-way through posting my reply. The question still stands I guess. What’s the third make?

Here is the compatibility list for phones from the Resound site (: Compatibility12). I think we’ve had this dance before. Running Android 10 is NOT sufficient for compatibility. ASHA needs to be enabled by the manufacturer.

  • Google Pixel 4 XL
  • Google Pixel 4
  • Google Pixel 3 XL
  • Google Pixel 3
  • Google Pixel 3a XL
  • Google Pixel 3a
  • Samsung Galaxy S20+
  • Samsung Galaxy S20
  • Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G
  • Samsung Galaxy S10+
  • Samsung Galaxy S10
  • Samsung Galaxy S10e
  • Samsung Galaxy Z flip
  • Samsung Note 10+
  • Samsung Note 10

What other aids other than Resound have ASHA? Genuinely curious.

Checked and you’re right. Thanks. I thought there was at least one other. Still waiting for myself. Waiting waiting waiting…

You need more than Android 10. Android 10 and 5.0 are necessary but not sufficient. d_wooluf already posted Resound’s list of compatible phones. Here’s their disclaimer from their website: *Full streaming compatibility with Android devices requires minimum Android v10 and Bluetooth 5.0 and that functionality has been enabled by the phone manufacturer and service carrier.

Yesterday I checked the Samsung “S10 Lite” (with bluetooth 5 and android 10) - it works like a remote control, but the sound does not stream.
I also checked the Samsung S20 - it streams the sound perfectly.
P.s. I have ReSound Linx Quattro 9

Your statement, “They need to be running Android 10 that is all.” is NOT correct. For to work, it must be implemented by the phone manufacturer. A phone that was previously sold with Android 9 that was upgraded to Android 10 likely does not support ASHA. Even a phone that was originally sold with Android 10 does not necessarily support ASHA.

I don’t understand what you are saying. Are you suggesting that people not worry about what phone one buys to use with hearing aids and just hope for the best and not worry about reading the requirements specified by the manufacturer? Are you talking about using the phone as a remote or streaming from the phone? These may seem like picky details and if ignored are likely to lead to being unsatisfied with how one’s phone works. If you’ve had a good experience streaming from a phone not on the list, stating which phone you used could be helpful.

I suggest we leave hearingaiduser2020 to his own devices (boom tish) whatever they may be.

I was reading a Oneplus (Smartphone maker) forum and it looks like they have in a beta.

Who can I talk to about getting ReSound to offer and support backwards-compatibility with “non-compliant” devices, such as a Windows 10 laptop/desktop? I am an IT professional who works mostly on a computer, and the inability to stream directly to my hearing aids is bothersome. Not to mention the principle of not getting my computer to properly pair with my brand-new hearing aids (Jabra Enhance Pro) just irks me. :slight_smile:

I don’t believe what you’re asking for is possible. I see 2 options. 1) If your hearing aids are within the return period, return them to Costco and purchase KS10. Your computer should be able to stream directly to them, although it might take a little tweaking. 2)Purchase the TV Streamer that is compatible with your device and plug it into your computer.
