I use Kirkland KS10s, which are Phonak HAs. I have the Phonak streamer I bought used on eBay (still high-priced) and it works well with one exception. If I stop the audio for 60 seconds or more, the connection times out. I usually stream stuff. So I have to restart the play, back up several seconds and hit play again to get the audio to start again and either still lose a little bit or replay some of what I watched. I see it as a hassle. When it times out it doesn't require manually connecting again. But, like I say, it does take a little time to reconnect.

I bought this bluetooth streamer for less and t doesn't timeout. Since I use two TVs at different times, I bought another one very much like this, but about $20 cheaper for the other TV. I works well, too, but they don't seem to offer the same thing now and replaced it with this item. The one I bought the second time looked exactly like the other one, but had one minor (to me) difference in audio input possibilities.

I presume Phonak did the timeout trick to save some HA battery life. Both in constant use (no timeouts at all) will use the batteries up fairly quickly and at about the same rate. But the ones I bought from Amazon eat the power up a little quicker if there are listening pauses since it stays connected and ready. So that's something you may consider, though I don't see a significant enough difference to worry about the modest savings.

Since I stopped using the Phonak completely I may just sell it off cheap at some point.
