[Trainer-Talk] Hearing aid compatibility with iPhone

[Robert stigile]

Hi
All models of oticon hearing aides that have bluetooth are compatible with the iphone.
She might try unpairing the aides and repairing.
She might also talk to the audiologist as I know when i first got mine the audiologist had to set the compatibility then they worked fine.
