I have 5 year old Phonaks that do not have bluetooth so I bought the Compilot II for hearing better on the phone...I love it! I can also use it for ZOOM meetings which works out well also. We also have installed a hearing loop in our church which also is very useful...it is just tough getting other people to buy into using it or they don't understand the technology. I tried the mic but did not find it that useful to me. I will be getting new hearing aids by the end of the year so will make sure I get the bluetooth technology along with the T-coil. Anything else you suggest while I am upgrading?

You'll have lots of choices and decisions. I always insist on a manual volume control because I want to control that myself. BT needs to be explained well, and it takes some time for many of us to really learn to use it. Make sure the provider gives you that time. One other thing I don't have, but am not sure I would like, is rechargeable hearing aids. If the batteries die, the aids usually have to go back to the factory to be reset. What do you use then? It's just easier, in my opinion, to have batteries handy to use when I need them. Some of these 'improvements' are not as cool as they are marketed to be. It's good to ask questions.
