Bluetooth version in hearing aids

Late reply. Thank you for this information. I’ve been researching for a backup for my aging Unitron (sister to Phonak) Moxi RICs which are now 3 generations old. Granted they have a new battery I’m looking to alleviate my usage. I’ve been looking at both Orka One/Two(closer to standard aids in tuning) and Elehear Alpha Pros (OTC simple tuning RIC style).

Interesting - I cannot pair my More2 aids with my iPhone and MFi enabled MacBook Air at the same time (Have to actively switch the bluetooth connection). I wonder if it is because the S23 is using ASHA and the iPad MFi (I thought ASHA was just the Android implementation of MFi protocol).

Confused by this. Do you mean “microphone” rather than “speaker”? Otherwise, how would this work from a separate room?
