Windows 10: Bluetooth enabled hearing aids

I have Oticon hearing aids, which support streaming from my IPHONE. My Surface can pair with the hearing aids and appears as a connected device but I can not select them as an audio output device. Please help

:)

 

hearing aid bluetooth connection

Thanks for the info. I had moved in that direction already but my hearing aids were not listed. My hearing aids are listed as a Bluetooth device on my computer but they do not appear on the sound card window for some reason. Is there a way I can get the
sound card to locate them?

 

How to connect Bluetooth Hearing Aids on Windows 10 computer?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



What is the make and model of the Bluetooth hearing aid?



Yes, you can use your Bluetooth hearing aids as an Output device, if the device is compatible with Windows 10. I will suggest you with the steps to set Bluetooth hearing aid as the default playback device.



Before setting your hearing aid as the default device, it is required to configure the Bluetooth device. Please refer this article
Connect a Bluetooth device
to connect a Bluetooth device and go ahead with the below suggested steps.



1. Click on Start, type in Control Panel.

2. In Control panel, click on Hardware and Sound.

3. Under Sound, click Manage audio devices.

4. In the Sound box, click the Playback tab, select the Bluetooth Hearing aid, click
Set Default, and then click OK.



You can also refer the article from HP regarding
how to connect a Bluetooth Device on Windows computer.



Hope it helps.

Bluetooth Oticon hearing aids

I have used several Bluetooth headsets and speakers with both phones with zero issues, there is obviously something in the design of the hearing aid that is incompatible with the BT stack. Does your hearing aid work ok with other makes of phone, have you
contacted the hearing aid manufacturer about the issues. Would the hearing aid be small enough to fit inside over ear. Headphones ?
