Will My LE Audio Hearing Aids Work with an Avantree Transmitter?17

Q: I have a hearing aid that supports . Can I use an Avantree transmitter? If you own one of the following LE Audio-supported hearing aids, you may be able to enjoy a seamless, low-latency ...

May give the the C-82 a shot.

I had just seen those recently as well. I have a dongle (FlooGoo FMA120) from another company (Flairmesh) which works well and I am very impressed with service / support from them. If you end up getting the C-82 when it becomes available would be interested to hear how it works for you.

I was looking at the “Voyager” for airline travel, but it doesn’t seem to explicitly say it has . Maybe it will be clear once it is released.

I visited my Audi today for my yearly check up and she said Oticon have released the adapter which can connect to devices via usb-c. She is going to order me one. Think roughly £150.

Got my update done today to 1.2.1 as well.

Recently returned the Avantree product.
Also wrote a one star review…
Wished there were ZERO stars…or negative Five stars for stuff like this!
Forget that I could not get it to enter pairing mode.
The instructions were non applicable.
The online write up was misleading and purposely vague.
The worst thing was that their tech support is so absolutely terrible!
In two chats, and over five days and as many emails, they repeatedly chose to skip and evade my key questions, could not provide a legible instruction manual, had no meaningful answers.
Horrible experience.

You might want to give this confirmed option a try.

Bluetooth dongle with Auracast support - FlooGoo FMA120
Yes, just make sure both your hearing aids and the FMA120 are updated to the latest firmware. From customer feedback, the latest firmware version for your Rexton Reach might be 25.5.1039.3. For the FMA120, the current version is 1.1.1.7, but you can always check for updates in the FlooCast desktop app. We don’t personally test every hearing aid model—many of the devices we list as supported are based on feedback from customers. While we can’t share their emails (one of them was from a Rexton …

FlooGoo is a great and amazing company with stellar tech support. They Care.
I was referring clearly, and so wrote about AVANTREE.

Not sure what you are referring to?
I wrote this due to the awful experience I had.

The item I returned was the Avantree Audikast 3

They can’t be the only manufacturer. And I can’t imagine anyone with worse customer service than how Avantree treated me.
Also - as I said FlooGoo is an amazing company and will have a new model out around the same time.
Finally - there was something misleading in the Audikast 3 ad, otherwise I would not have purchased it.

The NEW FlooGoo device, perhaps model 121, will have an audio connection.
My main need is for computer.
I already have the Phonak TV adapter.
My post was regarding the awful customer service, which transcends a specific product!

I will never buy an Audikast product again… BTW - I discovered that in my dungheap box of gear not worth knowing, I had purchased a similar device two years ago… Its actually in my Amazon history too. That one I never returned. But I am older and wiser nowadays.

No it won’t. It looks perfect to connect to my cameras!
Been looking for something like this.
Anyone who uses wireless microphone systems… or video transmitters, will like this.
Here is a prototype image from the company.
Beautiful. Tiny. Streamlined!
They claim it Measures 32x32x8mm

Easy LE Adapter that is now available to order is £78 from Oticon. Ordering one from my audiologist so once I get it, will report back.

Regarding my previous post on purchasing the Avantree C82 I have a (preemptively) exciting update.

I received it yesterday and it did not work. It showed the device but greyed out and could not connect to the stream. I immediately spoke to support and reference this post by @wtolkien ReSound iPhone App now with Auracast support - #17 by wtolkien

Here are the responses I received today:

“Yes, our adapter support Resound Nexia , but the dongle you have support 48K only, not 24K for the hearing aids users. You need to do a firmware update for that. We will send you DFU info shortly.

In the final batch, we will make the version 24K and 48K switchable for hearing aids / normal users for Auracast. The one you received is from the early batch so that is not yet built in.”

Once I have received and flashed the DFU I will see it if works and let you know
