Why can’t the person hear me when using Phonak hearing aids with an Android phone manual

• The easiest way to ensure calls are routed through your hearing aids is to answer phone calls using the multi-function button of the hearing aids.
• For outgoing calls- initiate the call normally. Depending on your phone configuration- the call will be routed to the hearing aids automatically. If not select the Bluetooth connection as soon as the call is in progress. During a call- you can change the routing of the call from your phone to your hearing aids. From the phone application screen- simply click the Bluetooth symbol to enable or disable the transmission to your hearing aids.

Please note: Some phones transfer the call automatically to your hearing aids if the call is picked up by the hearing aid multi-function button- but stays on the phone if the phone’s button is used.

• Check reception on your mobile phone and move to a location with better reception if necessary.
• Check the microphone ports on the hearing aid for debris. If there is debris- use a brush or cloth to clean the microphone ports. If the problem persists- contact your hearing care provider.
• If you are in a very noisy environment- the own voice pickup through the hearing aids may be disturbed too much. In such a case- relocate to a calm environment or alternatively route the call to the phone and directly talk into the phone microphone normally.
• To test whether the call is wirelessly transferred to your hearing aids- speak into your phone. If the other person can hear you better when talking into your phone- route the call to your hearing aids as described above.
• If this does not work- delete the pairing from your phone- reboot the phone and hearing aids- and then re-pair them to your phone.
