Hi all
This is slightly complicated so please bear with me.
I wear two cochlear implants which I connect to my phone. With my new iphone 15 I need now to purchase a usb c to 3.5 mm adapter.
Unfortunately it seems as if many of these adapters will not allow you to use the microphone on the iphone and mutes it. For example, if I want to send a voice message on WhatsApp I must remove the audio adapter. I am also unable to make calls on the phone because the microphone is muted.
I want to make sure if a buy an adapter that it will fulfil my needs.
Any recommendations?

Hello Andre:
I recommend that you call A.T. Guys at 269-216-4798.
Or call The Harbolt Company at 405-633-2572. Brent Harbolt sells a lot of adapters and could recommend one for you.

Try this workaround suggested on a podcast: go to settings > sounds and haptics > headphone safety. At the bottom is a usb accessories option. Going in there shows a forget all. Choose this and see if the phone mic will now work with whichever adapter you have. I think this person had the genuine articles from apple.
