Cell phone for upcoming hearing aid purchase

POTUS-elect wants the federal government to buy 30% of TikTok in the US, and he just started selling virtual money. He calls himself ‘anti-regulation.’

More seriously, if BT LE Audio catches on, the HA manufacturers will be able to participate in a market winner. If it doesn’t catch on, HA manufacturers will participate in a market loser, like T-coil loops, which are not at all as ubiquitous as the designers wanted or expected.

I’ve been wearing aids for about 20 years. This year my insurance said they’d pay towards my new aids, but the aids from the place i had to use were over $4,000. So i went to Costco on Long Island jabra aids were about $2,000 and sounded good. I tried Jabra and Phillips and chose Jabra. The audiologist was the best i’ve encountered. She not only knew hearing and aids, but phones too. She told me there might be a problem with my 3 year old Samsung S8e. There were. She could get it paired and they were great for a day or 2, then go mono from the phone and i couldn’t get both paired. I made weekly visits to get hooked up, and made my feelings known that i saw it as a QC problem. Then, just before Christmas they seem to have found a fix. My aids paired with the app, and i can make the minor adjustments to make the sound perfect. Love them. After about 2 weeks they became unpaired again, but a quick visit to Shirley and i’ve been back solid since. P. S. I had to make several visits to get things right, my experience with most other companies is that most of those visits would have resulted in me being without aids for 2 weeks. I highly recommend Costco and Jabra.

Count me in the LE audio/Auracast will be big group. This is not just a hearing aid benefit, but headphones, TVs and buds will be using it too.

The main hold up is that Google didn’t release an assistant in their new phones.
