My Hearing Aids show up, but cannot be paired.

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?

The only reason why iphones and android phones can pair directly to hearing aids is that cell phones use public airwaves and the US government (the FCC) requires all cell phones to be compatible with hearing aids.

You will notice that apple computers don't work with "made for iphone" hearing aids. No apple computers are listed.

You usually have to buy a ``tv streamer` from your hearing aids manufacturer. Ask your audiologist for more information.

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 !
