    Need help/recommendations for watching TV/movies

    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...

    Pairing problem with phonak com pilot and iphone 7

    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...

    Pairing problem with phonak com pilot and iphone 7

    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...

    Pairing problem with phonak com pilot and iphone 7

    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...

    What I want my Apple Watch to do

    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...

    New Phonak ComPilot with no neck loop

    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...

    Has anyone tried the ReSound with an iPhone?

    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...

    Phonak ComPilot and TVLink

    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...

    iPhone will talk to your next hearing aids

    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...

    ROKU 3- NETFLIX - and Closed Captioning

    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...

    Phonak ComPilot & things it can control

    I'm sorry that it has not helped you. For me, it has been great. In my experience the most important "setting" is adjusting where the microphone is placed. I experiment with clipping it onto different clothing parts - collars, shirt fronts, pockets, etc. - and I try aiming the microphone in...

    Phonak ComPilot & things it can control

    Jane, I use my ComPilot with an iPhone 5 from Verizon. The ComPilot and the iPhone communicate with Bluetooth - which I setup using the "Settings" on the iPhone. The phone and the ComPilot need to be "paired" with Bluetooth. To do that, hold down the < > button on the side of the...

    Phonak ComPilot and TVLink

    It is very easy to use. You do have to wear it around your neck - the neck loop sends the signal to your aids. One of the improvements in the ComPilot is that the neck loop is user-replaceable. The older iCom had a cord that was hard-wired at one end, and if the cord broke (which happens)...

    Phonak ComPilot and TVLink

    I have a pair of Phonak aids and I have grown to be totally dependent on the Phonak ComPilot Bluetooth interface system. It is a big improvement over the earlier iCom system in many ways. The number one ComPilot use for me is the ability to make and receive phone calls from my iPhone. It worked...
