pairing hearing aid with MacBook pro

I have tried pairing my Starkey hearing aid with my MacBook Air. It does not show as an option in the bluetooth screen. Is there a way to connect the two? It works with iPhone (which I unpaired first).

Pairing Hearing Aids with new MacBook Air I have Signia hearing aids which are listed in Apples list of compatible aids for Bluetooth. I have used them paired with my IPad for quite sometime now without problem. I have just purchased a new MacBook Air with M2 which according to the literature these aids should pair to it, I have tried the instructed method several times but my aids do not show up in list of devices to pair. Anyone had the same problem? If so how did you get over it, advise and help would be appreciated. thanks

Pairing my Widex hearing aids with my Macbook Pro I just got hearing aids (Widex Moment) and I can pair the easily with my iphone and ipad, but they won't pair with my MacBook Pro. Maybe my laptop is too old????? My operating system is macOS Monterey 12.6.3. I've tried restarting the hearing aids (which I sometimes have to do when switching between my phone and tablet) but they don't appear under Bluetooth devices. To pair with my phone and tablet, I go to settings-accessibility-hearing devices. But on my laptop, when I go to accessibility, hearing devices isn't an option; there's only "Audio", "RTT" and "Captions" under "Hearing". Thanks.

Your Starkey aids are MFi (Made For iPhone) which uses Bluetooth LE (low energy). The Bluetooth on your MacBook Air is Bluetooth Classic. They are different and you will not be able to pair with your MacBook Air. Talk to your audiologist to see if Starkey makes a device that will connect between your hearing aids and your MacBook Air.
