HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 14, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 As many of you know, I am a big fan of the Artone 3 MAX BT neckloop. I use it with both my Sonnet and Rondo processors. Lately I have been receiving a lot of important phone calls from physician offices. I just set my processors on MT in the morning, place the tiny neckloop around my neck and turn it on. Since the Artone has a built in return mic to catch our voices during phone calls, it is so convenient. Sometimes I am not near my cellphone. Today my phone was on the main floor while I was upstairs on an errand when a call came in. I just pressed the main button on the Artone to accept the call and I was all set. The entire conversation happened with my phone on the main floor and me on the top floor. So convenient and easy. Having a built in telecoil with the ease of setting the processors on MT made this possible. Also having a return mic pick up my voice for the caller made being near my phone unnecessary. And having a BT device with excellent range made conversing on the phone even while a floor apart from the phone seamless. These are the features I look for in connectivity devices. Here is a link to my review of the Artone if you are interested. I am not affiliated with the company. I just love their product and have been using it almost daily for many years.

Eric in Tulsa Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 My Phonak hearing aids have BT Connectivity with my iPhone and don’t require any additional attachment. I simply double tap my ear or make a single depress of either volume button to answer a call. I don’t think my range is as good as you are getting. If I leave the phone downstairs at one end of the house and go upstairs to the other end I will lose the connection. My best guess is 30’ is about the limit. I think the hearing aid power is the limiting factor, so an additional device like the Artone might be the difference. I also love being able to watch a video on my phone or iPad without breaking out the Bose headset.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 14, 2022 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 @Eric in Tulsa being able to accept the call and have our voices picked up without needing to use the phone for those two functions is very convenient! I am hoping Med-El incorporates those functions in future internal BT connectivity features Eric in Tulsa, AnnetteT, Dianna and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/9209-the-convenience-of-not-needing-your-phone-nearby-for-phone-calls/#findComment-47472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
