This wasn’t a thing already? We’ve had cell phones a long time.
edit: punctuation
Not officially, but nearly every device has supported hearing aids compatibility for years, well before smartphones became the standard.
Yeah, mine are controlled via phone. Still better to make it required though
I recall it being required in cars. IIRC all cars after 2012 needed to have bluetooth and hands free.
Perhaps phones just operated in proxy to that
