Hearing aids that don’t auto connect to whatever my neighbors are playing on Bluetooth. Also hearing aids with a Bluetooth block list

Seriously I’m fucking losing my mind over this. 3 times in under 10 minutes last night my hearing aids stopped playing the tv I was listening to to play the Bluetooth that my neighbors or their kids were listening to. Suddenly mid conversation with my wife about it, bam, music.

Why are medical devices operating on the same band as consumer devices??

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 11 months ago

Because hearing impaired people want to connect it to their normal devices, like TVs and Phones?

Bluetooth is Bluetooth, no matter the usage. They're only allowed to operate on a specific frequency range.

They have Bluetooth for convenience to help you listen to regular audio sources, but they should definitely have better controls available. Sounds like theirs are permanently in pairing mode
