Does this have to be paired with the ComPilot? And if so, does the audiologist have to do it or can we do it at home?

The Microphone does not need to paired with the compilot. You just plug it in and talk. No need for a trip to the audiologist for this.

No pairing required this simply plugs in to the com pilot and com pilot continues to blue tooth to the hearing aids as normal just means you can wear the com pilot hidden and not have a flashing box round your neck. Only need to get audiologist to reset if you want to go remote ie not use the neck loop. I still use loop but wear under shirt works fine.

No it doesn't have to be paired by the audiologist. It works with the ComPilot because it's a bluetooth device that finds the ComPilot.

No, just plug into jack on bottom of compilot and you are all set...........good luck, I really enjoy mine and people can hear me better.

I have this device. It plugs into the port on the bottom of the ComPilot. There is no pairing because it is not wireless. I like it. It puts the microphone closer to your mouth for clearer conversations versus mid chest placement with the ComPilot's built in microphone.

No it does not need to be paired. However the one I purchased did not work. I'll get another from my audiologist. The shipping to return the defective unit was almost as much as the unit. Purchase from your audi and if you have issuesthey will take care of it. That's my 2 cents worth.

Yes, the Com Pilot is used only with Phonak hearing aids that have wireless capabilities and use the latest platform called Quest (Models such as Q-50, Q-70, Q-90). If you have already been using the Com Pilot, then, yes, these will be the same and work. If the previous ones were square in shape, your hearing aids may not be compatible, as that is the older model. Thanks,Local Battery

No,unfortunately Jill..the comPilot by phonak uses short range fm radio to connect with some of the Phonak aids. The hearing aid you use it with has to have the newer Phonak system. Mine is Naida S. Even older Phonak aids will not use the comPilot.The Phonak Mike however connects to the comPilot using bluetooth, and the microphone should be able to connect as a remote mic to other bluetooth enabled devices. If your hearing aid can connect directly to a bluetooth device, this microphone MIGHT pair with it. If you are uncertain, check with your audiologist or the customer service rep for the maker of your aids.

The Compilot is a remote control for Phonac hearing aids. It has bluetooth and audio inputs and these are sent to your hearing aids wirelessly via the neck loop. This microphone plugs into the Com Pilot and is used to make phone calls. The com pilot does have an in internal microphone but this one is much clearer and better. You can also use the com pilot to feed audio to your hearing aids (from an MP3 player for example). They also make a "Remote Mic" that your partner can wear so you can hear them in a noisy party for example. That sends audio to the com pilot wirelessly via bluetooth.

Yes, this product does work during flight, I've used it several times when my ears won't clear during take off and landing.

No you don't. You need to pair it with a Bluetooth-enabled device (hearing aid or CI), and you can do that yourself with the included instructions.

No,unfortunately. The microphone connects with the com pilot using conventional bluetooth radio. The nature of this connection is that compatible bluetooth devices can connect to (pair with, is the bluetooth jargon) only one other device at a time. I find the mic. Very helpful with one other person in a noisy restaurant, for example. But ,with a group of people, it's not much help.

Yes. You can pair up to 8 ComPilots to one TV base, and need to use each ComPilot farther away than 6 feet apart. You can also hardwire each ComPilot with the 3.5mm jack and avoid this potential interference. Better yet is one ComPilot paired to many base stations so you can move about the house and be connected to the TV in the room that you move to.

Yes, LiveMIC can be paired with Phonake ComPilot since both are using same pairing code "0000". Also, you need to use Mode A of LiveMIC to pair and connect with ComPilot. LiveMIC is a good wireless microphone to be used as remote wireless microphone since it is eqiuped 2 microphones, Omnidirectional and Unidirectional microphone and other rich features.

No. The Com-Pilot can only pair with one other Blue Tooth device at a time.

Yes, I have a ComPilot and it works very well with the remote mic. You just have to pair it.

I own some 3 year old Phonak Naida VSP hearing aides. I purchased the ComPilot with TV box and use it to watch TV. I can now hear the TV for the first time in years. I have not purchased the gadget that can set on a table to pick up voices yet, but that is on my to do list. My audiologist states that any Phonak hearing aid will work with the Phonak Compilot. The set up was easy.

I asked at the Phonak booth at the HLAA national convention, and they said that the remote mic is made to pair with the ComPilot, not other things. Are you using the ComPilot? There is another Phonak accessory that is specifically for the TV.

Bluetooth headsets are generally allowed, just not during takeoff and landing. Since they only transmit signal within a few metres, and on a different frequency range than the plane equipment, they don't interact with the equipment and are perfectly safe. Keep in mind that the FAA or whatever other dept. is calling the shots, MAY have a rule in place that an airline person may invoke on you. I have found that even calling the airlines directly does not guarantee that the crew will allow it. I REALLY love my Prosound device. I'm on it right now! I especially like the dual pairing. Listening to my laptop game and then get an incoming call that I don't have to touch anything is great! I hope this helps.

I just came across your question. I am using a Panasonic system which couples to two cell phones and a headset. The ComPilot is coupled as a headset. The big button on the ComPilot is used to answer calls. You can join calls already in progress by pressing the connect button on the side of the ComPilot.

I would like to find out myself as my father is hearing-impaired and wireless headphones will prevent a tripping hazard. Sonystyle.com has wireless infrared headphones with rechargeable docking base for $49.95 (and up) that had received some good reviews. Infrared means you will need a clear line of sight from TV or receiver to the headphones. I am most likely going to have to buy w/o auditioning a pair. I am keenly interested in a set that is compatible with surround sound like DTS. I also bought the Sony KDL-46XBR9 bundled with Blu-ray player and HTSS360 HTIB (home theater in a box). The receiver has no headphone jack so I will need to set up the headphones via TV.
