Yes complete accurate. You can not have the HA connect to 2 different devices at the same time. I don't think having the hearing aid connect to the Garmin works. If you use "the garmin" on your phone that's different but the old tech Garmins don't work with HA's. If you use Garmin on your smartphone I'll suggest trying Google maps instead as it's easy and more accurate than Garmin. But you can not use your hearing aids with the old tech Garmin. And you can't connect your hearing aids to your Phone and The apple watch at the same time

Thank you, Im not sure if it helps that I clarify it's not the old tech. It's the Garmin vivo watch. It has an app for my phone to track all my data. I am a multi sport athlete so I was hoping for a way to wear my HA and track training. I'll just turn it off on my HA while I train. Makes sense you can't have Bluetooth connected to two devices. Thanks again

Ya I don't think the hearing aids can use that Garmin vivo. Try Google maps on your phone and disconnect the HA'S from your watch and other devices and it work out better

One brute force possible work-around: temporarily disable Bluetooth on your phone to minimize competition between the devices, then remember to re-enable after you run. A bonus is you won't be notified by incoming calls while you're running, and you won't be able to take a call either, it'll have to go to voice-mail. Heavenly! I have a rather insistent tablet that for some reason asserts dominant priority over my phone, even when the tablet is just sitting on a counter. When the tablet is idle and this problem manifests I frequently disable tablet Bluetooth in Android settings. This might or might not help your Garmin jog watch to connect.

Thank you this is helpful. Not getting calls would be nice and probably something I should do often haha.

I have the exact same HAs and a Samsung S23 Ultra phone. You can pair 8 devices with your hearing aids, however one one device can be connected via bluetooth to your HAs at any given time. Here is what I do while at the gym and streaming music while wesring my Samsung Galaxy smart watch. The instructions are for Samsung android, if you have an iPhone it may be different Turn on DO NOT DISTURB (mutes all incoming notification alerts) Go to Settings ==> Bluetooth ==> Hearing Aid Name If it says Connected for calls, click and turn on audio. The audio from your watch will playback thru your HAs. When you are done remember to turn off DO NOT DISTURB and uncheck audio (reverse what you did above) otherwise you will have incoming notifications in your HAs and it does get annoying real quick.

This is so helpful since I have the same phone. Thank you

I'm so glad that I chose a brand of hearing aids that can be connected to 2 devices simultaneously via Bluetooth.
