Fail Hearing aid connection to Mac mini M2 Pro

Ave ! ( hail !)

what maker/manufacturer and model number of hearing aids do you have ?

under system preferences >> Bluetooth on your Mac mini m2 Pro is Bluetooth on and is your Mac mini m2 discoverable via Bluetooth…. Bluetooth is also somewhat prone to interference from

Wi-Fi especially on the 2.4 GHz band, so see if you change WiFi channels … system preferences>> network>> wi-Fi>> Advanced, if you hold down the “option” key and click on the wi-fi icon, it’ll show you lots of info about your current Wi-Fi network including channel, frequency, transmissibility, data rate, name, etc

Hi, Brutus inquisitor , I think I get it… you can usually only pair Bluetooth devices with one thing at a time, eg, iPhone is one, iPad is one, and your Mac mini is one… here’s some kinda support for them ( close, but no victory) : https://www.miracle-ear.com/blog-news/how-to-connect-hearing-aids-to-bluetooth#:~:text=Connect%20Bluetooth%20hearing%20aids%20to%20laptops%20by%20turning%20your%20hearing,wait%20while%20the%20devices%20pair. And this accessory ;

https://www.miracle-ear.com/content/dam/amplifon-america/us/docs/pdf/hearing-aid-manuals/GENIUSlink_10537362_6.pdf.. the problem is that there are 6 miracle-ear hearing aids that can connect to a mobile phone, possibly a pc or a tv ( if you buy the correct accessory as well… the mobile phone bit, be it an iPhone or Android is easy-peasy, the other bit, not so much, you’d have to unpair them with both your iPhone and iPad first before trying to connect ‘em up with your Mac mini.., check your user manual to see how to pair and unpair your hearing aids.., according to this link, your Mac mini has Bluetooth 5.3: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1746367-REG/apple_mnh73ll_a_mac_mini_with_m2.html/specs

maybe call miracle ear… I’m fresh out of ideas…

Hi,

Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click Accessibility in the sidebar, then click Hearing Devices on the right. Learn more about Hearing Devices settings.

Yeah, I'm at a stalemate, too, maybe this bluetooth dongle might help, maybe not (see link)
