Yes.
I also disabled the internal BT device and tried a couple of different 5.3 USB adapters.
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?

My hearing aids do NOT appear.

Just because it pairs with your cell phone, doesn't mean that they are bluetooth devices. The detailed explanation is the second post on page 1.
In most cases, hearing aids are not actually bluetooth devices. You have to buy a "bridge" device from your hearing aids manufacturer (such as the one listed on page 4).
Ask your audiologist for more information.

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.
thank you
