Yes, and I thnk it must be wonderful for those of you that go to school and have meetings etc. I have the Phonak Virto in the ear half shell, so no boots for me, but I do just fine with the BT microphone & Compilot.

Ooops, sorry, my bad

I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 and it only has BT capability, no telecoil which is also a pain as I have to wear a neckloop for the BT capability. A telecoil is much friendlier to hearing aids. All these new phones are touch screens, but with these phones you can download different apps to suit...

Which is why you say buy one cause you didn't have to pay which is fine for those of you that qualify for that. Go to hearingplanet.com and ask them how much and they will tell you. I just bought my new compilot package and the I can't remember but the Roger pen is FM and I don't have fm...

My new hearing aids are warranted and insured by Phonak automatically or 3 years. So call your audiologist and tell them that's happened and you'll probably find you are covered.

roger pen is FM and the mic is BT and costs $120 give or take a few dollars. The Roger Pen was expensive because it is FM

Yep, and there are BT streamers (neck loops) that are not just made by hearing aid manufacturers!

I'm looking on Amazon right now for an alternative to the Phonak Compilot set I got for my new hearing aids. The set is $487 and it includes the neckloop, microphone, TV-Link base and various cords etc. I am now looking at a Clearsounds brand that plugs into the back of the TV (Bluetooth) $47...

What is CRos?

In my humble opinion, those stats are not the full picture. You have demographics to take into account also for those districts.

I just got my Phonak Q90 Virto and had a music program put in. But then I'm no expert on things but sounds better than normal

Your insurance? Can you tell me what a dispensing fee is for? After all the questioning I did with my insurance and the Audiologists, they audiologists put a charge in for Dispensing and my insurance says it doesn't cover that. They charged $600 per hearing aid for this Dispensing fee...

I mentioned those electric thingys to my audi and she said the basic plastic container with something round and yellow in it was the best as it draws things out like a suction, rather than the slow action of the thingy!

I must say that my phonak draws (doors) lasted much better than my Starkey ITC ones did. Basically had the same ones for most of the 9 years.

So I went looking in the Compilot box and I found the audio cord in there. So much better!
