Google Pixel 10 review

The Pixel 10 is the phone we would point most hearing aid wearers to first because its compatibility sheet is the most complete one we found. Google's HAC table lists acoustic coupling, telecoil coupling and Bluetooth coupling with both ASHA, the older Android streaming protocol, and HAP, the hearing access profile used by LE Audio hearing aids. Under the ANSI C63.19-2019 standard Google reports a conversational gain of 16.6 dB with a hearing aid and 19.3 dB without one, both well above the 6 dB floor Google cites. The accessibility specs also list Live Caption, Live Transcribe and Sound Notifications, which help when a call or video is hard to follow. Hardware is solid for daily use: a 6.3-inch OLED at up to 120Hz, a Tensor G5 chip with 12 GB of RAM, IP68 and Qi2 wireless charging. The main tradeoffs are price, at $799, and a 24+ hour battery rating that trails the cheaper Pixel 10a.
