Having microphone shut off completely illuminates feedback when headset is worn over the hearing aids – dead quiet. Telecoil provides excellent high-fidelity sound. The crowning grace is having ANR block out any background noise.
I totally get why having the microphone shut off (mine go off automatically when the headsets are on) is necessary -- feedback prevention.
OTOH, that defeats the purpose of the hearing aid, doesn't it? In my case, I don't see that solving the problem described in the original post.
When I was flying with Warren, I did remove the hearing aids altogether to see if that made much difference; it didn't.
But perhaps you're just referring to the Bluetooth function to hear phone calls and music etc (I use a ComPilot device with Phonak aids), which currently isn't an issue (I don't need to hear the phone or music when flying).
But it would be cool if the com radio provided a Bluetooth option, then it could pump directly to the hearing aids rather than the headsets.
