Windows 10: does this window support hearing aids via bluetooth?

i have tried to connect my new hearing aids via Bluetooth to my laptop but couldn't find it on "searching for devices". what should i do?

Windows Support For Bluetooth Enabled Hearing Aids

You have to buy the Bluetooth dongle from the hearing aid company.

Made for iPhone hearing aids don't even work on Mac desktop and laptop computers. Apple only lists iPhones and iPads. It is basically forced by the FCC on wireless phones.

And it is not Bluetooth, it's a proprietary protocol for streaming audio.

"Bridge" accessories for audio streaming

Some hearing-aid manufacturers offer special "bridge" hearing-aid accessories that receive audio through Bluetooth from the iPhone and retransmit that audio using proprietary wireless audio-streaming technologies built in to some hearing aids. Check with your audiologist or hearing-aid manufacturer for more information.

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?

 

Pairing hearing aids - device not detected

So, as a try, I was interested whether I could get sound on my hearing aids whilst watching a TV broadcast thru Microsoft Edge. Of course I can switch on the speakers but this is not desirable at times.

Along with my hearing aids I have a small device named ConnectClip. This device 'connects' other sound sources to my hearing aids. For instance, when listing to the radio on my smartphone.

Anyway, ConnectClip should be paired. I followed the video tutorial on this, that says nothing more than to enable Bluetooth, switched on the ConnectClip and select the device from the list at 'Add new device'.

As expected, it isn't that simple: the device is not detected.

I tried all kinds of settings but run out of ideas.


FWIW : at Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections I do notice an entry
"Bluetooth Network Connection 2" reading 'Not connected'
I am not sure whether that has something to do with it though.

The Device Manager > Bluetooth does not show some kind of 'Bluetooth adapter'.

Windows 10 x64 19042.985
I can't verify the currently installed Bluetooth version.

Anyone any suggestions..??

Thanks!
