FIX A PROBLEM
Start with what you notice.
1The broadcast does not appear
Recognize: no expected broadcast name is listed. Action: move closer, confirm the transmitter is broadcasting, leave ordinary Bluetooth pairing, and scan again in HearLink 2. Expected: the broadcast name appears. If it does not, restart the hearing aids and phone, then confirm HearLink 9050 compatibility.
2Joined, but there is no sound
Action: select the broadcast again and raise streaming volume gradually. Expected: audio plays through both hearing aids. If it differs, note the broadcast name, phone model, hearing-aid model, and what HearLink 2 shows.
3Sound is unclear, delayed, or echoes
Action: move closer, use one listening path, and mute the TV speaker when practical. Expected: stable audio without duplicate voices. Persistent problems need Philips- or transmitter-specific support.
