I too have a Phonak Audio (BTE) set and an older Phonak i-mic pendant.
The only hitch using the pendant is the it has a VOX built-in so that it
switches back to the cellphone (with attendant tones)  when the external
audio is squelched.  I haven't run any tests but I wonder how long the
battery will last if passing audio continuously.  I have to charge it
every night and I wonder how long the mini-USB connector will last.
Other than that it works well.
