So I’m getting ready for new hearing aids (truhearing branded). For what it’s worth, my insurance allows me to purchase new Truhearing aids (7IX/truhearing premium). every year with unlimited visits for the 1st year - my cost is $1,100. My current model is a 7AX with . I currently have two TV streamers with one wired to a Sony Bravia (home) . This TV has bluetooth 4.2. The other is wired to a dumb Samsung (lake).

I’ve never used telecoil but I believe my fitter ordered that “just in case” and it also came with a rechargeable battery. I was assuming I was going with the (at some point) LE model UNTIL Signia came out with the BCT classic bluetooth model. I replace my aids every three years but could bump that up if necessary.

So do I go with the LE or the BCT classic bluetooth option? FYI - the streamers have been a real game changer for me. I’ve also found a truhearing provider that does (really looking forward to that process). I live alone so I don’t need to connect to my PC (yea, I do some gaming!). My phone is a S22 which will most likely get updated in the next year or two. And no, I’m not going to switch to an iphone. I’m usually a “cutting edge” player but I’m thinking this “cutting edge” technology is going to take years to fully roll out. So what to do or doesn’t it really matter?

The BCT has universal Bluetooth connectivity , much better streaming (which uses more battery ). This aid can literally connect to anything that has Bluetooth .

The non-BCT can connect to Apple iPad,iPhone, MacBook plus Android phones and a small number of PCs that have . For anything else (TV for example) you will need an accessory from Signia .

Signia has said the current and past devices will not get .

If connectivity and streaming is important to you , go with the BCT. The BCT offers up to 36 hours of battery life.
