the article cited is about MFI hearing aids. Phonak does not participate and has never done the heavy lifting required to comply with that standard, although a hundred other makers do comply.


Instead, you connect to your Phonak hearing aids using ONLY Bluetooth, and everything is supposed to work.

If it does not, consult your hearing professional.
