My aids are Phonak Audeo as well - high priced devices that are behind 
the ear with receivers in the outer canal.  I also use a Phonak 
CommPilot device with a loop that hangs around my neck and feeds signals 
to the aids by induction.  The Comm Pilot is Bluetooth paired with my 
mobile phone for hands-free operation and has a 3.5 mm "Audio Jack" that 
permits me to feed audio from external devices with a suitable cable. 
The audio feels like it's inside my head, and the aids' primary function 
of boosting external sounds is reduced slightly but not eliminated. 
Batteries in the aids last about a week if disconnected while I sleep, 
and the CommPilot is put on charge at that time as well.  Not much of a 
learning curve.  Works well with my computer and radios.
