I trialed Phonak Paradise with Bluetooth…didn’t even last 2 weeks.
My hearing is profound bilateral so the phone was of no use to me…still need captions. The Phonak app stinks and it does take a number of seconds for them to connect and then they disengage from the app. I only connected 2 devices but gave it a vigorous trial everywhere. I will say , once connected, I was able to pick up voices further away…but still couldn’t understand speech unless the speakers were facing me.

I found myself constantly using the phone. My son was given a pair of older Phonaks (battery) by a client. They are Bluetooth. His lose is moderate . He uses the Oticon On 2 .4.0 app on his iPhone with the Phonak aids and says it works flawlessly . That’s all he is interested in but says listening to audiobooks has improved. My Audi doesn’t understand how he can use that app with Phonaks.

If you look at the reviews in the play store you can see
all the complaints about the Phonak app.

I use Innocaption for phone calls and the audio is great but I can still use my ear link and plug it into the phone using Tcoil. I do this for my iPad and sometimes when I use GPS in unfamiliar areas. Hearing the voice is a prompt for me along with looking at directions. I have had the ear links for years and I think you can still get them. They are shaped like a candy canes and hook over your ears but you need Tcoil.

Went a little off subject here.
