Bluetooth and Apple

In this situation, you can easily see that bluetooth is at best a bit flakey. Can't listen through my hearing aids without occasional gaps. (Usually short.) Just thought you might want to know.

My guess is that it's a V4.0 device with very limited range (class III) unless they provide a battery pack externally. Distance (power) has been the only problem I've ever encountered aside from backward compatibilty.
Wynnd:
The hearing aids are brand new. The app for control is geared to the iphone 5 and later. Got to admit that the ipad mini's antenna is a bit weak. Now the iphone 4S that I have has two very good antennas. (But the app doesn't run right on it.) My guess is that it would work nearly perfectly with an iphone 5 or later.

Unless you have a big lump hanging out of your ear the limit is the hearing aid. The mini no doubt has a similar range as the iPad and certainly is not the problem. My Jawbone only lasts a few hrs. before recharge. I trust your hearing aid has a longer operating time.
Wynnd:
Much longer, but the batteries are air/zinc (?) and last about 5 days. (When activated.)
