I have blue tooth turned on, on my phone, so that it sends call directly to my hearing aids. I can also stream music and the TV directly to my ears also. Great feature I didn't expect to be so convenient for me, and my wife. She can turn the TV down to where she wants it, and I can turn the sending unit, or my hearing aids up for me. I started laughing as we were watching a Western the other night because I could hear one cowboy's spurs jingling as he walked. I haven't heard that stuff in 20 years or more.
However there is a glitch. If I have the blue tooth feature on my phone on, and stand near an electronic cash register, or go under power lines, or some other waves hit me, my hearing aids go beep, beep, boop and there is no call coming in, or text message waiting. I called Phonak yesterday and was told that it likely is my hearing aids trying to reconnect to blue tooth after an interruption, or interference. They suggested I turn off the blue tooth link on my phone and try going about my normal routine and see if it still happens. If it still does with no blue tooth link, then the hearing aids are bad. I don't know if that is normal and I know nothing about the technology of blue tooth (I still spell it wrong) so I have no way of knowing if they are blowing smoke or not.
Are any of you techie guys up on this stuff?
