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?

As I clearly explained on page 1 that it is an US law (FCC regulation) that forced hearing aids companies to make hearing aids compatible with mobile phones. Otherwise it is a proprietary wireless protocol so that hearing aids companies can sell you a "bridge" device for an extra $200 in order to connect to a computer or a tv.
they are Signia, charge & go model as I mentioned earlier their Tech support told me that they have NO INTENTION of writing Blue Tooth definitions (I.E. drivers) for computers! I was able to get to get my hearing aids to pair with my old W10 computer. But since they are NOT defined as an audio device they DON'T Work in any way with my computer! And I have since built a new computer with blue tooth & wi-fi running W11 & now they won't even pair up at all! & also Ear pods are not hearing aids, what I do instead is take out my hearing aids & use a pair of blue tooth AKG headphones instead.
excellent Mike....
thanx Joe, correct, my hearing aids by Oticon offer a bridge device for approximately $200 which will make the hearing aids more blue tooth able... jeff
Yeah & the "bridge" device won't work with computers either as I said earlier the hearing aid companies DON'T want to write blue tooth definitions (I.E. Drivers) for computers unless they get forced to do so by the FCC or some other agency did to them for phones! & even if your computer will pair with them since there are NO computer blue tooth definitions that define them as audio devices they will NEVER function as BT ear pods or headphones until they are forced to write the definitions!
