What are some "no brainer" inventions or features that just haven't made it to the consumer yet? (lemmy.world)

That's horrible!

Do you have a tv connector for your hearing aides to connect to or is it connecting straight to the television?

Work in retirement home where lots of people use hearing aides with their televisions. Have not come across this issue.

Most connect via an external device paired to their hearing aide specifically.

I have a tv beam device

You don't mean the "As Seen on TV" device do you?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

No, my audiologist gave it to me. And it’s not like my neighbors are using one. It switches to Bluetooth streaming for their stuff according to my hearing aid app

[-] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

It's just weird that it switches to someone's Bluetooth. Usually there is some sort of combination of basic authentication required and confirmation. Have you tried something like a "factory reset" on the device?

[-] maryjayjay@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yes. I would expect the Bluetooth receiving device to have to be paired with the transmitter
