I will write my audiologist about this. I see her to finalize purchase of new Resound hearing aids + small device.
Fiddling with my phone all the time was aggravating. I didn't even know my hearing aids could work or adjusted without my cell phone on my person.

My Phonak does have an app for iPhone14 which shows current battery charge level for each hearing aide. But I just use rocker switch on my hearing aides to turn up or down sound level which works with TV adaptor independent of the TV speaker volume.

I wonder how others feel about having to have their phone on hand at all times?

This concerns me also as I'm about to upgrade to the N8 Cochlear Processor. That also uses the phone. The N6, which I am currently using can be set to use with buttons on the processor, or with a remote control (or both). I find that using the buttons, as awkward as that can be sometimes, is the easiest way to go. Guess I'm going to have to learn new tricks.

Audiologists need to do more counseling. It takes time. Time is _______.
