Deaf or hard-of-hearing users can pair Made for iPhone hearing devices directly to Mac and customize them for their hearing comfort.

Here is the announcement you referenced.

Apple previews Live Speech, Personal Voice, and more new accessibility features - Apple

Note these relevant statements from the announcement:

• “New software features for cognitive, speech, and vision accessibility are coming later this year”
• “Apple today previewed software features for cognitive, vision, hearing, and mobility accessibility …”
• “Users will be able to pair Made for iPhone hearing devices with select Mac devices with M1 chip, and all Mac devices with M2 chip.”

Can anyone confirm which M1 chip devices are compatible with Made for iPhone technology?

I'm currently facing the choice of which MacBook to buy, and I'm very concerned about hearing aid compatibility.

Well, I have to say I am so very frustrated . I just purchased an apple MacBook Pro .

My hearing aids will not come up ! They are Beltone HearMax. (mfi), Im told they should .... but they do Not ,rendering my new laptop a pain in the *** and almost smashed !

sigh .......seriously?

can any one help with this ? Or, do I return my laptop as it's pretty useless to me now........so very frustrated.

( did I mention that...?)

mine will not come up at all and my new laptop has an M2 chip .

I have been trying everything, for two days now, and am really frustrated as I was told they would come up ...which is necessary for pairing ....lol looks like I return my apple MacBook Pro .

You’re welcome.

I had not seen this announcement until you mentioned it. You are well informed.

Enjoy your Apple gear.
