I think you meant that Harry Bluetooth was king of Denmark and Norway from 958 - 986 AD, not “from 1958 to 1986”. 😂 In those years, it was Harry Bluetooth the XXXVII who was King of IKEA (jk).

Thanks again for a great lesson. I look forward to all hearing aid manufacturers utilizing LE Audio. Especially, if it would allow me to simultaneously connect to my iPhone and iPad. Right now I have Phonak aids for that reason, but would love to see other manufacturers do the same.

Bluetooth has been a lifesaver. I selected Phonak due to Bluetooth connectivity features. It does drain batteries though and I can’t make it through my waking hours without having to put my devices back in the charger to get through my day. I can’t wait until i have devices with Bluetooth LE audio to have the additional benefits you mentioned in today’s video.

Damn, those Norwegian kings were dressing pretty hardcore in 1986

Thanks for the information. I will be up dating my hearing aids and will be ready for this.

The text on the video was correct, but you may have misread it in the voiceover. Bluetooth is not "shortwave" but it is "short range". Conversely the shortwave band of the radio spectrum, typically between 1.6 and 30 MHz, and is used for long-distance communication.

Hopefully we'll start seeing LE Audio adapters coming onto the market soon. I'd hate having to spend yet another $1000 to a new LE Audio compatible phone or tablet.

Great info but Bluetooth was around till 986 AD, not 1986 I know it was old but I didn't think it was that old. Just purchase a set of hearing aids with Bluetooth LE I'm looking forward to it again thanks

whith le audio, can you use your phone to select the broadcast you want, if so, can you link a demo of it working/switching broadcasts?

Will this allow hearing aids to connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices without a manufacturer accessory? Like tv box?

I have a soundbar on my TV but to stream to my ha's I have to have a tv adapter. I would love to eliminate the need for the tv adapter for my Intent ha's but don't know how. Is this doable? How?

LE sounds great re range but do the new hearing aids have better sound than my AirPods? I stream to my AirPods bc the sound quality is far superior to my hearing aids.

When will Apple switch the iPhone to LE Audio. I’ve got the Nexia aids and am waiting for Apple to apply the new codec so that I can take advantage of LE Audio. What phones were you able to test on in your trials?

My church has Telecoil. I spoke with them months ago, but we can't find any information for required equipment for setting Auracast up. I have Resound hearing aids, which I got so I could use the system. Any ideas what do next?

Have the Resound Nexia problems with BT LE Audio on Samsung Galaxy S23 and S24 devices been fixed yet?

I have 100% loss in my right ear and 70% loss in my left ear but it is not by birth what should I do? Although my kokaliya is alright in both year hair in India doctor is saying cochlea off my right ear

I have Widex Evoke hearing aids with a comdex interface for Bluetooth. I don't believe my hearing aids would be compatible with this, since they are several years old. There hasn't been an update to the hearing aid software for about 3 years. I would welcome something like this but to upgrade would be prohibitively expensive. I'll keep what I have till these die.

Which hearing aids have le audio?

Will LE audio do anything to allow tiny hearing aids that couldn't support Bluetooth in the past, support Bluetooth now?

The wait is finally over? Really? So which Hearing Aid providers support Auracast currently? Do the Phonak Lumitys/Life? I heard they didn't.

King Bluetooth lived WHEN?!

Short Range Radio, not short wave radio.

I'll admit Bluetooth le is great but I can't even stick my phone in my pocket without it cutting in and out it's not as stable basically

Dr. Cliff, could you do a future evaluation of BT hearing aids to see how much radiation they are putting out? Wearing these all days next to our heads might not be such a good thing. Haven't seen anyone else discuss this.

I wish I can agree that the wait is finally over. It's not. All hearing aids needs to adopt to this le audio. It's so disappointing that this technology that will have a great impact for everyone is not quickly adopted. I can tell you numerours things I can do with this kind of audio. I am disappointed to the point of anger at the length of time this is taking. Will I be dead when it finally happens. Maybe that would be mercy to this endless pain of waiting. I've heard about this a little over four years? Somebody please kill me if I need to wait another four damned years. Totally ridiculous!

Bluetooth LE is great for the iPhone world. NOT so much for the Android world. Most Android phones do not support LE ... and Android has the majority smartphone market share worldwide. Why are so many hearing aid manufacturers catering to iPhone-only customers, and ignoring over half of their possible worldwide market share?

Can I ask for / suggest a video? I'm getting cros hearing aids soon, and it is impossible to figure out the best solution. (I should add I need ITE, ITC, HS, custom or something that doesn't interfere with protective equipment at work (nothing behind the ear)). The point is though, from what I understand the cros transmitter in the deaf ear will transmit to a reciever in the hearing ear. This reciever can have much more advanced tech than the cros transmitter. some units are compatible, others are not. The web sites are really bad at showing this information. So my question, that I hope to get answered in a video, is: for each of the best brands, what is the optimal combination of cros transmitter and highest possible tech reciever? please and thank you.
