I’m deaf, and this is what happens when I get on a Zoom call

I use hearing aids and there is still a bug in Microsoft Teams when you connect via Bluetooth. The ring tone is super loud despite adjusting volume. Other people have complained months back and it still is not resolved. Fortunately my hearing is good enough that I can put headphones on top of my hearing aids to avoid this problem.

I have this problem with Bose SoundSport headphones and FaceTime Audio. The ring and answer tones are often painfully loud. Over three years and several firmware updates, it's still not fixed.

I think Bose has become unable to focus on user experience. This is shown by: 1) their decision to remove physical buttons, 2) ignoring counterfeit products sold on Amazon, and 3) failing to make their $350 bluetooth headphones pause music when you take them off.

I take the last point as a feature. I don't want the music to stop when I put the headset on my shoulders.

Totally. I would say: pausing is the sort of feature that shouldn't be added without a user having to explicitly activate it
