You have hit a hot topic for me. I have a pair of hearing aids and I use them to get better sound from our TV by connecting a headphone cable to the headphone jack and plugging that into my Phonak streamer. The problem is that when I plug the cord into the headphone jack it cuts off the...

I have sent a detailed description of the problem to customer support at Phonak USA - and I have posted my problem on the Mac forum sites. No help yet - but lots of suggestions that did not work. My nearest Apple Store and Genius Bar is 2 hours away by car. Phonak headquarters is in...

No - both the iPhone 7Plus and the ComPilot were working together - and pairing - before a recent Apple IOS change. Now I cannot pair my Phonak bluetooth devices to my iPhone. My phone is NOT paired with anything else. I do not see "pairing" on my phone - and it used to take me to a page...

Hello I have been using my Phonak hearing aids and an iCom or now as ComPilot for the past 8 years. I love being able to stream music and to have phone calls go to my hearing aids where I can actually understand the caller! But - recently my Phonak bluetooth devices have lost their ability...

I have a pair of Phonak BTE aids and I use the ComPilot to have my iPhone send my phone calls to my aids using Bluetooth. The ComPilot hangs around my neck and it sends the signal to my aids through the neck strap - and it has the microphone that sends my voice back to my callers. There...

Has anyone had a chance to try the new Phonak ComPilot Air II yet? I wonder how easy it is to clip the ComPilot onto a shirt collar. Is it lighter than the current ComPilot that works with a neck loop? The literature says that the ComPilot Air II works with Phonak Venture hearing aids - I...

I have loved my Phonak aids with the Bluetooth connections using an iCom and a ComPilot - along with their TV link and the little microphone for restaurant conversations. But, now it may be time to take the Bluetooth device and the cord hanging around my neck and put them away .... and have...

It was a weak attempt at humor .....

Jane My record shows the I paid $15 for the spare cord. I believe that it only comes in black .... hope that works with your clothes.

I had the iCom and then I got the ComPilot. They are about the same size. The battery on the ComPilot lasts twice as long. My favorite part is that the wire that goes around my neck has plugs on both ends. I have a spare wire and if it breaks I just plug in a new one. The wire on my iCom...

More stuff behind your ear I'm not surprised that Bluetooth communication between an iPhone and an aid can be built into the hearing aid - and not into a "box" that hangs around my neck. I'm ready. Computer chips are now designed at the 14nm limit - a nm is one billionth (10 to the minus 9...

This is exciting news.... First fully-integrated 'Made for iPhone' hearing aids are set to hit the market Hearing-impaired iPhone owners will soon have a smaller, more compact choice for handset-connected hearing aids as the first batch of "Made for iPhone" hearing aids are poised to roll...

Last night I watched a movie with our new ROKU 3 and NETFLIX streaming - and for the first time ever - under the Audio and Language box there was a Closed Capture choice. I chose that and I had a yellow-box closed caption during the movie. I have been watching lots of foreign films because I...
