Do I need the Phonak DECT phone if I have the Phonak com pilot or will most bluetooth enabled cordless phones work?

I have a Phonak phone, which is fine, but, I can here my cell phone better(than the Phonak) using the Compilot. I have no experience with Blue Tooth cordless phones.

Bluetooth enabled cordless phones will work with your com pilot, but you have to either leave the pilot on all the time to answer calls or reconnect it each time. I have used the icom for my phone for several years, but hated having to reconnect each time. I love the Phonak phone. I have Phonak hearing aids and when I pick up the phone it connects automatically to both ears. I have a profound hearing loss and can hear quite well on the phone now.

The Phonak phone is separate and acts the same as the compilot. In other words, it sends the sound to both ears. I have not been able to get other bluetooth devices to work with the compilot, altho they are supposed to. Hope this helps. John

Yes any Bluetooth enabled phone will work with the com pilot. The DECT will work directly with your Phinak hearing aids without the need for a com pilot.

I have both. I use the DECT at home. At work, I use a regular Bluetooth enabled telephone and it pairs well with com pilot. I like the DECT because it is simple and the sound is great. However, my experience has been that the com pilot pairs well with most Bluetooth devices even my laptop.

Albert:I would not be able to answer your phone from experience. We bought the DECT phone and it works very well. I would expect, however, that most Bluetooth enabled phones would work with a compilot.

Many bluetooth home phones will work with the ComPilot, but not all. I have not had any luck with bluetooth house phones. I have no problems with my iPhone handy when connected to my ComPilot. Although expensive, the Phonak DECT Phone is by far the best solution. Even without hearing aids, the phone volume can be significantly increased so you can hear pretty well. Telephoning is one of the greatest challenges for HA wearers and Phonak phones are the best option to date.

The BT enabled phones will work well. The Phonak phone goes direct into your earpieces w/o a compilot.

I wouldn't swear to it, but I am pretty sure Bluetooth is a standardized technology. I think any bluetooth headset should work with any bluetooth phone. I have used three different brands of headsets on three different phones without ever having to do anything special. Have a nice day.

I use a Panasonic headset that plugs into my cordless telephone. Though it isn't bluetooth, mine has a fairly long cord allows me to be hands-free to use the computer as needed while I am on conference calls.

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

I bought AT&T; TL92271 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone Connect To Cell, Silver/Black, 2 Handsets. It connected up perfectly with a bluetooth headset that I had laying around from an old cell phone. It will also connect with a bluetooth capable cell phone for answering or phone number download.

I doubt it. It is a single phone. However, we have Panasonic model KX TG6841 cordless phones and can use both in a conference conversation. The Dect CP1 will work with more than one person's hear aids if I read the manual right. You can check the manual out at http://www.phonak.com/content/dam/phonak/gc_hq/b2b/en/products/accessories/dect/_documents/User_Guide_DECT_Phone_029-0278.pdf

Yes you can. You can opt to use it as an independant cordless unit. I have the dect phones but I do not have mine bound to any of them. I dial with another phone if needed and then hang it up and use the head set for the rest of the call. This has worked well for me so far.

Have seen more than one complaint that this item doesn't do well with cordless phones. If you plug a corded phone into CB'er and run your cordless system separately it might work. You need a phone plugged into downstream side of CB'er to program unit but CB'er disables caller ID to that phone...or probably to entire Panasonic system if you plugged it into CB'er.

Com pilot is a Bluetooth device that connects your cell phone to your hearing aids. You can attach an external mike to it and communicate through your phone you can also play your music from your phone through your hearing aids or listen to pandora, etc. works great for me.

No. But the good news is that a much cheaper headset will work just fine with your cordless phone. Hooking up a recorder, however, is more of a challenge.

Any phone with Bluetooth works...smartphone not required. There is a smartphone app you can install on a smartphone that improves the functionality slightly but I don't use it and it is not required.

I have not had trouble with cordless phones, but you must have land line not satelite phone hook up.you also need power to the ringer

I use an android phone and needed to go into my security options and UNcheck the 'allow bluetooth bypass'open. I would assume Iphones have something similar. I am able to answer and dial out using the cordless phones after changing this setting. They do also provide a help phone # in the box if you have problems with your specific phone set up.

Yes, you can. You just have to make sure that you are using a DECT phone. The DECT phones have the ability to connect to each other without telephone cables. I suggest get a Panasonic or some other wireless phone system with several receivers. Works perfect.

It's been years since I wrote the review and no longer own the mx505. I now own the Blue Parrot bluetooth series which is cordless and is a far superior unit, in my opinion.
