Android 16 improves how hearing aids deal with noisy environments

Let’s hope they add an assistant that will allow us to tune in to different broadcasts.

So realistically this will come out in Pixel 10 phones later this Summer and won’t hit Samsung until February of 26?

" * It also adds a feature that lets users switch between the built-in mics on hearing aids and the mic on the phone during voice calls." << YES !

That’s the main improvement I think. Everything else replicates the functionality in the app into the os.

Has anyone successfully switched to the built-in mics?

I’m not sure what that means. Once the update downloads isn’t it done? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There’s versions.

They are still testing and adding items.

The release of Android 16 was a surprise.

They weren’t expecting it.

Samsung takes Android modifies it to what it wants it to look like. a

Their vision if you will.

The basic OS they do not mess with.

Samsung has updated these Galaxy devices to Android 16 – here's the schedule9

Samsung is now rolling out its One UI 8 update based on Android 16, with a list of devices and a schedule available.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I’ve seen from them for the past dozen+ years. Seems they all tweak things, except maybe Google…

I’m actually looking forward to the potential improvements with the NL3 fitting formula additions. That sounds like some definite progress regarding speech in noise.

From what I read on the forum, I think it’s supposed to fit my loss better.

If like to try it and hear if it does.
