I have Starke hearing aids which I can pair to my phone. I have two settings under audio routing. The “call audio” setting is for phone calls. The “media” setting is for sounds on the phone. I usually keep my call audio setting paired since I find it easier to hear phone calls through my aids. I typically keep my media audio setting turned off unless I’m doing something like writing a text or playing a game when I’m out and about and don’t want to disturb others around me. It is quite easy to pair and unpair the aids. The setting is on my phone under accessibility. The only small drawback with having the phone calls paired is that I can’t call my phone from another device if I’ve mislaid it since it rings through my aids so I can’t use the ringing to locate my phone. I’ve solved this by telling Siri to tell me a story. I can usually hear the speaker and find the phone that way. Good luck with your hearing aids. I put mine in as soon as I get up in the morning and take them out the last thing at night.
God bless! Paula and the pups From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of R Van Lant Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2023 5:12 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: hearing aids and iPhone Hi, I am plunging into the world of hearing aids. While it’s mostly because I have difficulty with quiet voices and loud environments, the guy who will set up my aids did tell me they can connect to my phone. I’m assuming most sighted people only connect theirs when listening to a book or music; that is what the guy made it sound like. I’m trying to get my head around what that is like for voice over users. Do you leave hearing aids always connected to the phone? Sometimes I’m on my phone and want to show my sighted family something. Would I have to turn off the hearing aid connection to let them hear the audio from the phone? They guy told me I’d have 4 to 5 programs set for different contexts. Any recommendations of things I should ask when I go in to have the programs set up for the aids? Thanks in advance.
