Your laptop is listed as Bluetooth 5.2 hardware ready --- which means that it doesn't have the bluetooth 5.2 drivers yet.
You can check your laptop's bluetooth version.
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?

2024-04-10T14:51:55+00:00 Hi, as noted earlier, YOU CAN"T! hearing aids use a proprietary type of Bluetooth that is different from the Bluetooth Ear buds & headphones use, unless you have a brand that has an add on device to bridge the difference like the signia device above. Microsoft says they are developing Bluetooth definitions for W11 for hearing aids but they are not available yet. Sorry, I have the same problem with my brand of hearing aids.

2024-03-16T00:49:21+00:00 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.

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 !
