Do you need to go back to your aid provider to pair your aid(s) with the Pocketalker? I've found that some of the things I've purchased or downloaded don't work with my aid, even though it has a telecoil and worked with an IPhone...until the IPhone had problems and I switched to a Samsung. I was able to get IPhone conversations and driving directions delivered directly into my ear. However, even though I downloaded the app for Samsung to do the same, it doesn't seem to work. I've been interested in the Pocketalker for quite a while, but want to know that it will actually work before investing more money in something that's only marginally (or NOT) helpful.

Part of my problem is that we have zero cell reception here, plus our modem isn't strong enough to provide WiFi for my Samsung phone. When we moved to this house from a city full time six years ago, I'd never have left my cell at home...but, once you get accustomed to not using it at home because it has no reception, it's very easy to leave the house without it! I can't even text or receive texts here.
