    There are hearing aids that support a BlueTooth connection to a phone. However, to make that work, you'd need to put someone elses phone in the middle of the table, then call it from your phone which you had connected to your aids using BT. I can't imagine that the quality of a call over speaker phone would really be good enough to help, though.

     

    Best of luck.
