I have an made-for-iPhone Oticon Opn hearing aid and a Med El cochlear implant. Can I use a Roger Pen to hear phone calls in my implanted ear while hearing calls via my hearing aid using the made-for-iPhone technology?

You can send a signal to your Oticon Opn directly from your iPhone.  You can also send a signal to your Roger Pen directly from your iPhone and with the Roger Pen paired with your Med El device the signal from your phone will go through your implant.  Unfortunately you can only do one of these things at a time.  The iPhone will only stream through one device at a time, so you will have to decide which device works better for you when receiving phone calls and let the iPhone default to that device.
