I’m on a trial of Oticon Intent after being on Oticon More for a few years. I’m trying to get hands free calling working but it’s not working as I expect.
Audio is streaming fine as they are connected via MFi in the accessibility settings.
I have an iPhone 16 Pro with latest iOS 18
The mic is definitely not using mic on the HA themselves but using my phone.
How do I get this to work? I’ve seen other threads on this topic, but the answers typically have been problems with old models of iPhones or with android.
I have a pair of Jabra Enhanced Pro 2 hearing aids and an iPhone 13. I don’t know if the Otikon hearing aids employ the touch to answer feature for hands free receiving calls. The Jabra hearing aids do have that feature and my voice quality through the hearing aids leaves a lot to be desired. My wife, describes my voice coming over the hearing aids as sounding as if I am talking to her iPhone through the other opposite end of a large metal barrel. I have just gotten into the habit of getting my phone out of my pocket and using the speaker function, which does go to my hearing aids, but my voice goes to the caller from the iPhone.
My Oticon 1s will answer if I touch the hearing aid and hang up if I touch as well. I have to remind myself not to fiddle by brushing a hand near my ears while talking. It uses the internal HA microphones, but audio quality seems to drop the further you are from the bluetooth phone. Volume is controlled by the phone ringer buttons. I’m reasonably happy with the arrangement.
