Hey, I have got Oticon engage form NHS in uk, they got Bluetooth so when I was first given Bluetooth hearing aids I was so happy as they work with my iPhone X like a headphones.

Now I am thinking of moving to android phone pixel 7. I can’t anywhere if I can stream music and take calls on pixel as well.

Anyone got Oticon engage and android pavone can guide me. I know there is android app for them.

The pixel seven is a new phone so you might have to wait to see if it is compatible with your hearing aids usually they have a list of phones on the oticon website i think that says what phones they are compatible with. The engage hearing aids aren’t listed I don’t think but here is a link to compatible phones list. Hearing aids compatibility guide | Oticon349

In what way is it incomplete?

Optician Engage is NHS only so won’t be in the normal Oticon pages.

Second link I linked, shows it says only iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

Engage is Opn technology, not even the Opn S tech.

Also my friend has the Engage PP, a personal iPhone and work Android phone.

He can confirm that he’s never been able to connect his work phone despite it being an Android that works with the Oticon More.

Not exactly, it mentions MFI and is a simple acknowledgement that it is an Apple product. A continued search indicates it is compatible with Android 10 (or higher) and bluetooth 5.0 (or higher).

I could probably help your friend get connected to his Android work phone (if it’s compatible and IT hasn’t locked out user changes).

The Google Pixel 7 ships with Android 13 on it. It will have the best support to date, of any Android phone. The Pixel 7 was just released this week. Android 13 will be released to many current model phones before the year is up.

So a rebranded Oticon Opn is now able to stream to Android? I was told it’s too old! OR are you meaning just the App?!

The hospital are telling everyone who have Android, that they must get a ConnectClip.

Lots of people are complaining on the UK Deaf FB Group that I admin, that they are not able to connect to Android.

From what google says Android 10 or higher and a phone that supports Bluetooth 5.0 or higher.

The devil is in the details, simply saying Android isn’t enough detail, not knowing phone model is not enough.

I suspect anyone with old and an old Android phone will have trouble.

Well no!!! :roll_eyes: :joy:

The link to the Engage working for Android as nothing is coming up!

Where you finding that either Opn (not the S) or Engage works with Android for streaming?!

Even the Xceed which is newer tech to the Engage won’t work for Android (not including the App) according to Oticon website!!!

Pixel 7 is fully compatible (it’s Google’s phone which invented ASHA…) it works with my Signias just fine (and should work with any other ASHA as its universal). You can pick call through them but you cannot use them as mic, for speaking. Speaking through HAs during calls is only possible with iPhones .

Just letting you know that Phonak has been using the mics to talk hands free on both Android and iphones for 6-7 years I believe. It’s a great feature that many really like.

Hi all! Thanks for having me!

I want to bite the bullet on a Pixel Pro 7, but listening to music is important to me (not bothered about using it as a phone) I have the Oticon Engage PP - anybody manage to link them up? Cheers!
