Hands calling rarely works

[dlcpa]

Two related issues, first is most people cannot hear me with handsfee operation on my S21 Ultra with 512 gb and I just got a hearing aid and if the phone is notvup by my mouth, they can't hear on the other end of the phone.

When I wear my BT headphones, I can have a conversation, with the phone in my pocket. It must have something to do with the mic and or Bluetooth. Anyone having these problems?

I'm personally not having these issues.

First you say that you've recently gotten a new hearing aid and it seems like this may be a pivotal key to what's going on. I'm wondering if you might be speaking softer perhaps now that you can hear yourself better? I work in an environment where we have to wear earplugs and find that I'm talking loud when I don't mean to if I leave them in when I'm not in that environment. I could picture a hearing aid having the same effect.

Then you go on to say that with BT headphones you can be heard. The headphones would bring the mic closer to your mouth by default just because your ear and your mouth are relatively close together. This would fit with my other theory.

There are other possibilities. Your mic might be clogged, dirt, lint or some other debris, and it's muffling your voice. So bring the phone closer to your mouth would just be overcoming that blockage. Then as far as the headphones go, you're bypassing the phone mic and beaming the signal directly to the device.

Not sure exactly what the setting does but there is a hearing aid feature in the Accessibility settings. You might check that out and see one what it does and two if it improves your issue.

Based on the original post, I'd look to the hearing aid as the problem. Especially considering the BT headphones work OK.

Are you streaming through your hearing aid or using a telecoil?
