I don't wish to live in a walled garden but the days of playing with Android is over for me. The last four years of poor communication between my aids and my phone wiped the memory of them originally working well for almost two years. If the new aids give me communication problems, I'll be seriously looking at the icrap. (rip my lips off for saying it) It wasn't that they flat didn't work. They worked for notifications and very sorry phone connections some.. but you never knew when they quit. The phone would send the notifications to the aids but the aids would quit receiving them. There was no knowing what phone calls or text I missed until looking at the phone history. And if I answered a phone call, I would have to tell them I'd call them back. I would then turn off the aids and make the call. Phone conversations were impossible for either party to hear over the background static if they actually stayed connected. I never streamed audio... the quality was terrible and would suddenly stop after a few minutes. In other words... I could have a functional phone or I could have hearing assistance. I could not have both at the same time. UNACCEPTABLE!
