Can Hearing aids that are Bluetooth capable be used on a Windows 11 laptop?

I just got a new laptop that has Windows 11 as its OS. It has Bluetooth settings, but when I check it, I don't see any way to pair my hearing aids to it.

They sync to my iPhone and iPad.

Is there a way to add them so I can use them when I'm using the computer so I don't disturb others in the room?

    That isn't the case with ours, and most likely the post you're responding to. To often People assume the person with the problem is a complete moron.

    Hello ! I'm Aymeric, and I'm here to help !

    You can use Bluetooth hearing aids on your computer, as long as your PC is Bluetooth (which is the case!)
    Just head to Windows Settings > Bluetooth and devices and click on the "Add device" button. Select the "Bluetooth" option and wait for your device to appear.
    Make sure your audio device is in pairing mode, so it will appear on your screen.
    When you see it, click on it : the pairing will be done.

    Feel free to ask if you have any other question !

    can connect to my Samsung Android phone but not desktop. as I mentioned in previous post Oticon wants you to purchase a "Connect Clip" in essence will have your Oticon hearing aids connect to anything as also work as a microphone for your hearing aids. jeff

    Well, it's not just me... that's comforting to know that it's Bill Gates' fault, once again. Mine works great with my iPhone, so, silly me...I figured Bluetooth would be a quick connect to the laptop and Windows 11. Oh, well. Thanks for the reply. Good luck with yours!

    Royce, hearing aids pair with my phone, i can hear callers voice, music and other audio output from my samsung phone when bluetooth is enabled, have to talk to phone, not two way communication. still cannot get hearing aids paired with windows 11 desktop. more research i did it appears that I need an Oticon Connect clip and it would work to connect my desktop to my hearing aids. jeff
