How to Connect Your Hearing Aids to Your Apple Mac Computer (iMac & MacBook)

Have you ever wondered why, despite the fact that most hearing aids have Bluetooth built into them, it isn't possible to connect them all directly with your computer? Well, thanks to a recent update from Apple, it is now possible.

Where can I find that list u showed of all compatible hearing aids? Thx

[@frogstrap]

This doesn't seem to be an option included on iMac (2021) which has an M1 chip and latest Sonoma update, how stupid! Hearing Devices options just don't exist...

[@CherylsCreativeWorld33]

Same thing for me. Why thank you Apple! I complained to them.

[@OK-om7ru]

does it mean the phone and Mac can be paired to the hearing aids at the same time? Do I need to turn the Bluetooth off when I am streaming from the other device ?

[@waynebeck7801]

You can connect to iPad and iPhone and automatically switch between which ever device is streaming..so hopefully you can connect to a Mac as well

[@user-qs4pv7ww3t]

OK, help! I updated to Sonoma and have an M1 chip. Apple mini computer. Hearing devices doesn't show up on the menu.

[@alyssachey8417]

That is my computer too. I was only able to get funding for the mac mini with the M1 chip. I'm feeling a bit frustrated there is not enough memory for the graphics program I want to use, there is no disk reader, only two sockets for plugging items in, no camera and I can't connect the hearing aids to the bluetooth on the mac mini....

My hearing is relatively normal from about 2,500 Hz on down to 20 Hz. Above 2.5KHz it begins to drop off rapidly such that by 8KHz it almost gone, and by 10KHz my hearing is kaput. The cones that hold the transducers in my ear canals has openings so the lover frequencies can get to my ear drums. The hearing aids only amplify above 2.5KHz. If I let my Mac send a bluetooth signal to my hearing aids, I wouldn’t receive any sounds below 2.5KHz. Hmmm, how is that going to work?

[@tezzatel]

Doesn't work with the M1 Mac Mini anymore! Typical apple, taking away device options so that people will need to upgrade to get the feature back! Great video tho well done.

[@alyssachey8417]

That is so sad to hear. I could only get funding for the M1 mac mini. I can't afford to upgrade.

This tutorial went WAY too fast to follow along well on a phone. Frustrating
