Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a quick fix that solved two major issues I was having with streaming music on my MED-EL device with iPhone using Audio2Ear / AudioStream. Hopefully, this helps anyone experiencing the same frustration!

1. The Issue with Audio2Ear (Music dropping during Siri/Calls)
   If you stream music through the Audio2Ear app, every time Siri speaks or a phone call comes in, the stream drops and will not automatically resume. This happens because Audio2Ear acts as a software bridge, and iOS takes priority away from the app during system sounds.
   The Fix:
   Use the AudioStream Adapter instead of Audio2Ear. Because AudioStream uses Apple's native MFi (Made for iPhone) protocol, music automatically pauses for Siri or calls and immediately resumes playing when they end.
2. The Bluetooth "Stay on Settings Page" Bug Fix
   I was having an issue where AudioStream would only stay connected if I kept my Settings > Bluetooth page open. If the Settings app refreshed in the background or closed, AudioStream would immediately disconnect.
   The Fix (Pairing via Accessibility, NOT Standard Bluetooth):
   If you pair AudioStream purely through standard Bluetooth settings, iOS doesn't recognize it as a hearing device, leading to unstable background connections. You must pair it via the native MFi menu:
3. Open iPhone Settings.
4. Go to Accessibility > Hearing Devices (NOT the main Bluetooth menu).
5. Turn your audio processor / AudioStream off and back on to enter pairing mode.
6. Tap your device under MFi Hearing Devices and confirm the Bluetooth pairing prompts.
7. (Optional) Configure or register it through the AudioKey 2 / 3 app if needed.
   Key Takeaways
   No need to keep Settings open: Once paired in Accessibility, it stays connected reliably in the background.
   Detaching & Reattaching: You do not have to re-pair it every time. When you snap the AudioStream back on, it automatically connects to your iPhone within seconds.
   Automatic Resume: Siri and calls no longer break your music streaming.
   Hope this helps anyone struggling with connection drops or background disconnects!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a trip to Turkey this August (20th - 24th) and am hoping to propose to my girlfriend. I would love to get some local insight to help make it special!

I’m looking to do a beach proposal and could really use help with two things:

1. Location Ideas: I’m looking for a beautiful, scenic beach spot. Ideally, somewhere that offers a bit of privacy or has a stunning natural backdrop (like cliffs, rock formations, or a great sunset view) rather than a completely packed, crowded public beach resort area. We are open to driving a bit outside the main city center if the spot is worth it!
2. Photographer Recommendations: I want to hire a local photographer to secretly capture the moment and do a quick session afterward. If you know any specific professionals, local businesses, or even talented Instagram creators who do engagement/proposal photography in the Antalya region, please drop their handles or websites below!

If you have any tips on the best time of day for lighting/crowds in August, or coordinator contacts who help set up simple beach arrangements, I would be incredibly grateful.

Teşekkürler! (Thank you!)
