[Trainer-Talk] Hearing aid compatibility with iPhone

[Jen&Parmesan McEachen]

Nancy:

Hearing aids and iPhones are a bit tricky especially with that brand;
however, I would highly suggest you join a group that discusses all things
hearing aid related for deafblind people.

Blindhearingaidusers+subscribe at groups.io

Once you are on, send the same message below to the group at:

blindhearingaidusers at groups.io

There are fantastic folks on there that will be more than happy to answer
your questions.

My hearing loss is profound and I use Phonak, the only brand that uses
Bluetooth, and NOT the MFI function, which is what all other HA's are
connected to the iPhone uses.

Good luck!

Jen

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] Hearing aid compatibility with iPhone

Hello

I have a student who uses Oticon hearing aids. She was told they are
compatible with the iPhone, however, when her hearing aids are connected she
cannot hear voiceover. She has to turn them completely off to use voiceover.
This means that when they are on, she can only hear them and when they are
off, she can only hear voiceover. Any hints anyone would have would be
welcome.

Interestingly, these are purchased with government funds. I am told there
are only two kinds they can buy and she was told these are the best. I
wonder if it also happens with other brands as some people have switched
back to android for hearing aid compatibility.

Thank you.
