Thanks for this great article. I've been wearing hearables for three years now and it has definitely improved my quality of life. Your post reminded me to pair my new phone with my hearables, and I noticed the app has some new features. I have the the Costco house brand (KS9.0) model made by Phonak. Costco has pretty good hearing aid centres with certified audiologists. They cost just under $1000 after the subsidy from our provincial health insurance (OHIP). May I ask about the cost of the Starkey ones?

I think they are about three times that ( I got a discount)

I just figured out how to connect mine to my iPad and did a zoom call yesterday that was fantastic, so clear and easy.

I think my favorite feature is the Bluetooth connection. I use it mainly for phone calls where it works really well, unless I'm walking the dog and it's windy. Several of the silicon design engineers I used to work with at Nortel ended up working for hearing aid/hearables companies in North America and Switzerland.
