Phonak ComPilot
This is an OK device if you are inside an office all day. But for a working man it has two severe drawbacks. Number one, it is extremely sensitive to moisture. If you start to sweat, the sweat runs right down the neck loop, into the device and it dies. If you go outside on a very humid day, it dies. Why can't it be made moisture resistant like my Phonak hearing aids? Number two, it does not work well in a noisy environment. If you are streaming audio, it turns up the sensitivity of the hearing aids so if you are riding in a truck or in a machine shop, the environmental noise drowns out the streaming. This is the exact opposite of how it should be. If you are getting a phone call or using it to listen to music, it should turn down the sensitivity of the hearing aids so that you can hear what you are streaming. For a guy like me that drives a truck and works hard outside it is just not worth the price or the hassle. I have had to return mine for repair 3 times in the year that I have had it due to moisture.
