Watersail Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Just happened to be looking at it in the app store and found that it was available in the Apple App Store (US). https://apps.apple.com/us/app/audiokey/id1456102068 I haven't been able to pair my Sonnet through the AudioLink yet as there is a required a programming update from the Audiologist to enable it.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 3, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 @Watersail Yes I saw it there as well. I am waiting to find out if we can continue to use our regular FineTuner remote too after that slight programming change and pairing the AudioKey to the Sonnet 1 through the AudioLink. I do not want to carry around the AudioLink just to be able to use remote features. So I am waiting for more info. The regular FineTuner is thinner to carry around. And its battery lasts for years. It can also be used on planes etc. I do not want to lose the ability to use my FineTuner. Now if the AudioKey streamed all audio from my phone, that would change my mind.

Watersail Posted January 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 I am hopeful, that we'll still have both options. It would be nice if AudioKey does stream music at the higher sound resolution than it currently does through the converter apps. Fingers crossed!🤞 Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 3, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 @Watersail I am hopeful for that feature in future versions of AudioKey as well. Do you have an appt to get your Sonnet 1 adjusted so you can use the AudioKey app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watersail Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 I do not yet... but it's on my to-do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DncTchr2 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Do you need Audiolink in order to use Audiokey with Sonnet 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 6, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 @Watersail We must commit to one option for remote use with Sonnet 1.... AudioKey app or FineTuner. I am not going to have the slight adjustment made in my Sonnet 1 processors that is needed if I want to use the AudioKey app as a remote via the AudioLink intermediary device. If the AudioLink battery runs dead, there is no way to use the AudioKey remote with Sonnet 1 processors until it charges up. And we can not use the AudioLink on planes per Med-El so there is no way to use a remote on planes if needed. I had hoped we could switch back and forth at will between the AudioKey app and the FineTuner remote but that is not the case. We must commit to one or the other. From Med-El in response to my question about this.... “ Since the AudioKey App functions as your remote control, you will have to decide if you want to use the App or the current fine tuner as your remote control. In order to use the AudioKey App, your audiologist does have to make a change in the map, which will render your current fine tuner remote unusable. ” Others may prefer the app. It is good we have choices.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 6, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 @DncTchr2 According to Med-El Sonnet 2 processors connect directly with the AudioKey app. Sonnet 1 processors may use the AudioKey app through the intermediary device called AudioLink. Here is a link to info about this on Med-El‘s website https://www.medel.com/hearing-solutions/accessories/remote-controls/audiokey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watersail Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Darn. I was hoping that both would be able to be used at the same time. I may stick with the remote for now. Though, I do like the visuals that the AudioKey app offers. I'll have to think about this some more. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 6, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Let us know what you decide @Watersail. I am sticking with the FineTuner for Sonnet 1. I can see how helpful the app will be for Sonnet 2 users since they connect directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 6, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 And a big thank you to @Marion nancy who alerted us to needing to choose the app or the FineTuner as a remote with Sonnet 1 processors.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 6, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 @DncTchr2 Sonnet 2 seems to be much more flexible with the app. It seems like you can use the FineTuner Echo remote (new version of the FineTuner remote) or the AudioKey app at will and switch back and forth. You will have so much to teach me when you get activated! Smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 8, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 @DncTchr2 Tonight I am going to a Broadway musical. No accommodations needed. No assistive listening devices. Just my 2 CIs on my everyday programs. Everyone’s journey is unique. Great sounding music is a possibility for some of us. Hoping your CI journey is full of awesome music. Melissa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
