e-OS and hearing aids

Any idea, or hope, of Murena e-OS supporting hearing aids? This will probably be a deal-breaker for me.

Depends on the hearing aids, I would say. Which ones do you have in mind, or which technology has to be present and working on the phone for them?

Also perhaps search or ask in the /e/OS forum

Possibly. Don’t mess with medical stuff unnecessarily.

Hi, I use Phonak hearing Aids. They are supported via the Phonak App which works fine on e-OS. (previously used on a standard Android system).
I guess it depends on which hearing aids you have and if they have a supporting App.

And if such an App has any built-in Google dependencies (most Apps in existence do) which could fail at any time for any amount of time on /e/OS.

Hi – thanks for the responses.
I have UK NHS Danalogic hearing aids, with the BeMore App. Used to work fine on my Pixel 4, but no such luck in FP6 e/OS

As I understand it, Danalogic uses the Bluetooth Low Energy tech with is the industry standard now, and the ‘LE’ element might be the problem(?) I have no problem connecting to my Bose speaker.
But I do, connecting to our car, a Skoda, so it does rather look like a Google OS would suit me better.

and a german topic

I have an open ticket in the support forum (https://support.fairphone.com). The latest answer is

Murena has informed us that a permanent fix has already been developed and is expected to be included in an upcoming system update (v3.8/v4.0). In the meantime, they suggest trying a temporary workaround that has helped other users resolve similar audio routing issues.

Could you please try the following steps:

  • Go to Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network and select your active SIM.

  • Disable VoLTE (4G Calling / Enhanced LTE).

  • Disable Wi-Fi Calling.

  • Unpair your hearing aids, restart your device, and then pair them again.

The workaround, for me did not help, but I wait for the /s/os update
