Advanced Bionics Cochlear Implant Patient

[jleisure]

I’m a cochlear implant patient. I use a device called a Compilot 1 to connect via Bluetooth to multiple devices and stream every thing from phone calls to my music on multiple devices. I have recommended Fitbit to multiple patients to help them with message/call notifications and alarms. I was hoping that the developers could help create a option for connectivity to my Ionic via my Compilot so that I can listen to my music like other headphone users. This would open up a huge market to the hearing impaired community. Thank you.

@jleisure Welcome to the Fitbit Community! Thanks for sharing your ideas for future features you'd like to see on Ionic. It's a very interesting idea for cochlear implant patients.

I see the Compilot 1 connect via Bluetooth with other devices. Have you tried connecting it to Ionic? You can try by following these steps. It may work as Ionic can be connected to several audio devices too.

If this doesn't work, please post your idea on the Feature Suggestions Board. This is the best place to ask for any improvements or new features you'd like to see on your Fitbit device. 

Let me know how it goes or if you post the idea on the features board!

I updated my Ionic and my Compilot synced with my Ionic. Now I need to download my music.

@jleisure Thanks for your reply! That is great! Thanks for trying and pairing the Compilot, I'm glad they are working with Ionic.

There are several option you can use to download music to Ionic, use the ones you like the most:

• Personal Music
• Pandora
• Deezer

Try those steps to get your music/playlists into Ionic and start enjoying this awesome feature.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Let me know how it goes!
