Oticon Zircon

Zircon is Made for iPhone, which means it can connect directly with iPhones to stream music, phone calls, and more. Zircon is also compatible with the new Android protocol, Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA), allowing direct streaming from select Android devices with Android 10 and Bluetooth 5.0. If your phone isn't directly compatible with Zircon, you can still get Bluetooth functionality via the ConnectClip accessory.

If you have an iPhone 11 or newer, running on iOS 15.1 or newer, you're able to talk on the phone hands-free. If you have any other phone, you're only able to have hands-free phone calls if you get the ConnectClip accessory. The ConnectClip has a microphone on it that will pick up your voice for the caller, allowing you to keep the phone in your pocket/purse, etc, and talk hands free. If you don't get the ConnectClip, you'll still be able to hear the caller's voice streamed through your hearing aids, but in order for them to hear you, you'd have to hold the phone to your mouth.

No. To stream audio from the TV you'll need the TV Adapter 3.0

If you don't do any streaming, the battery should last 20-22 hours. If you stream a few hours a day, battery life will be around 16-18 hours.

The lithium-ion battery will last 2.5-3 years. When it needs to be replaced, take it to your hearing provider and they can replace the battery in their office.

A few hours before the battery dies, you'll hear three steady beeps. This will usually happen a few times. Then, right before the battery dies, you'll hear four descending tones.

With proper planning and charging, this should rarely if ever happen. If it does, the only way to charge your hearing aids would be using the charger that came with your hearing aids- Oticon doesn't offer any kind of mini or travel charger. However, a quick charge of 30 minutes will get you 6 hours of power, and if you don't have access to electricity, you could plug your charger into a mobile power pack (like the kind people use for cell phones). You can also plug your charger into any USB port and charge that way.

A full charge takes 3 hrs and will get you between 16-24 hrs of power. A 30 minute quick charge will get you 6 hours of power.
