6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Signia Streamline Mic, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Device not pairing with hearing aids/phone |
|
| Audio cutting out or intermittent connection |
|
| Cannot unpair Streamline Mic from hearing aids | The pairing connection is stored in the hearing aid memory and cannot always be easily unpaired by the user. You may need to visit a hearing aid specialist (audiologist) to unpair the device using specialized software. |
| Sound quality issues (e.g., mono sound) | The Streamline Mic typically provides mono sound to both hearing aids for streaming. This is normal operation as hearing aids are not stereo earbuds. If sound quality is poor beyond this, check connections and device settings. |
| Device not responding |
|
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact your hearing care professional or Signia customer support for further assistance. Firmware updates for your hearing aids may also be necessary to resolve certain issues, which an audiologist can perform.
