I believe it starts with the Pixel 7 from what I read.
The newer Pixels are supposed to work both ways.
I’ll try with my son’s Pixel 9.
I have a Pixel 6a.
I have to talk into the phone.

I don’t make many phone calls so talking into the phone will probably work for now on the Samsung S22+. I am a big time text and email person. I could get a Pixel 8a for $399 though. Hmm?

I put my phone in my top pocket upside down and walk around talking, usually to my wife.
She hears me fine.
I think the aids pickup background noise.
If your in a noisy environment they may pickup that environment.

Hands-free requires , which is only supported on the 7a, and 8 through 9 series, per google:

Hearing aid compatibility for Pixel phones - Pixel Phone Help7

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires phones to be compatible with hearing aids. Hearing aid compatibility (HAC) is evaluated per the technical standard C63.19. Prior to December 4

The criteria is HAP (Hearing Aid Protocol.)

The S22 is only, so it only supports one way incoming. You’d have to go to the S23 or 24 for LEA.
See the link for pixel’s:

It’s really difficult to find out if particular phones meet the specs you need. I only went with the Pixel 8 because it’s on Starkey compatibility list.

Thanks for all the information. My voice doesn’t sound normal and incoming sounds are sometimes a bit shrill. The audiologist tweaked but still did not fix the so-called problem. This is my first time wearing hearing aids and I have had them since November 26th.

Am I just getting used to them or should I have clear hearing with my voice sounding normal as I talk?

Good question. I still wonder.
I have distortion in my left ear. My voice always sounds distorted.
My voice will also change during the day. At night a lot of times it sounds funny, so I ask my wife does my voice sound funny. She usually said yes.
If you want to know what you’re voice sounds like to other people play a recording of your voice out loud.
That may help you.
There probably are adjustments that can be made. You just have to figure out what they are. That’s the heard part.

I believe your word distortion sounds better than my word shrill. I was telling the audiologist it sounds very tinny. Sounds to becoming more from the left than the right and there is more hearing loss on the right and on the left. If this is somewhat normal for me then I shall not worry about it because my ability to hear is dramatically improved using the Starkey Edge 24.

Yes, I had . The left ear has a and the right ear has an open dome if that matters. I will try to decrease the treble. Thanks for the tips.

If the dome is open on the right, you may have features of downward spread of masking. Simply speaking, the trebles could jam the basses.

This may be true, considering you have higher loss at 250 Hz, which may be harder to amplify due to low-frequency leakage from the ear canal through the open dome.

I don’t want to push for it, but I would consider earmolds, especially for the left side.
