@daveshaw It is too bad that there is such a negative stigma, embarrassment, whatever one might have, for admitting they have hearing loss and then wearing hearing aids that are "obvious" behind the ear ones. Even the industry promotes "low profile", "in the ear, hidden, nearly invisible...." reinforcing this negative thinking. These smaller HA won't have a telecoil. I want a hearing aid that still has a telecoil in it and eventually the new Auracast bluetooth LE. But several things have to also have this Auracast in them to work seamlessly with my hearing aids. Unfortunately, several HA maufacturers are starting to not make telecoils available with their HA and instead just putting in Auracast, which to me is very unsupportive of those who still want and need telecoils. Of course one likely has to ask their AuD to put in telecoils as it seems to be a rare AuD that automatically includes them or even tells their customers about them, frustrating. There are still thousands of places with hearing loops that won't be going away and it's still going to take years for Auracast to get installed in places. And when installed any current system should stay in place as well. Auracast will be wonderful when fully available and integrated, but it is still years away. The final criteria for it isn't coming out until Dec 2027 even.
