Hi,

Good explanation thanks. I don’t think the hearing aid industry will change much because they want you to stay with their brand .
People who buy a lot of proprietary accessories most likely will not change to a new brand of aid. What really ticked me off was that when I updated my Phonak hearing aids about 6 months ago, the remote for my older aids would not work with the newer aids....both Phonaks mind you. My Audi was annoyed also, got on the phone and was told that the older remote could not be paired with the newer aids. She ordered the new one anyway but did not charge me. She said they should be included with the price of the aids as it’s just a simple program and volume remote. She’s a gem.

Have a happy healthy good hearing New Year...FL Mary
