Hearing aid compatibility

Hi all. Considering a go with the Note 10plus but have one must have need. I have Oticon hearing aids that currently directly connect to my XS Max. Can use for calls and streaming without the need of an additional Bluetooth accessory.

Is this feature available yet with Samsung or Android overall? Thanks in advance for any info.

My Note 10+ is coming later today & I do not wear hearing aids but here are the hearing accessibility settings on my Note 9.
I'm guessing yours will work. I'd go on their site for your hearing aid model & check further. Best of luck!

Thanks for the reply. May just have to go check one out. Oticon doesn’t have info and Samsung doesn’t seem to either.

With Apple the controls are st the OS level no apps needed.

I tested a hearing aid a couple months ago and had no problem connecting to my Note 8 with BT, no app necessary.

Have confirmed with Oticon that direct calls and streaming from the phone to the hearing aids is not possible without the extra streamer. Android limitation. Will be sticking with the iPhone then. Thanks all.

I wear the Baha by Cochlear . It connects thru bluetooth so that I can control volume and change settings. I have a microphone as an additional accessory that connects by bluetooth also. I hope this helps
