My wife has just bought a pair of rather expensive hearing aids - she
has decided she would like to hear the world again! Said devices have
Bluetooth built in.

I have a B/T sender which I was able to couple up to hear bionic ears
and send music from my phone but the quality was uncomfortably poor she
says.

The primary use of B/T will with the TV when we are in our caravan so we
don't disturb neighbours.

Can anyone recommend a good B/T transmitter with 3.5mm jack or Toslink
connection that has low latency and preferably a volume control to help
matching the rest of the system gain? The TV interface (i.e. B/T sender)
that is made by the same company that makes the hearing aids costs -
wait for it - £176!!!

I can guess the make. SWMBO bought one. It is apparently very good quality
and she can leave the room and go into the kitchen still listening to her
programme, ;)

My own HAs are too old fro this sophistry, but I have linked up a pair of
BT headphones to her transmitter and they sound good to me.

Do the hearing aids support aptX? If so, look for a sender that does too.

I should also have said The great thing about SWMBO buying her own kit is
that I cannot be held responible if it plays up.

You'd better hope it doesn't play up to such an extent that you are
then given the responsibility for choosing something better.

Rod.

They were eye-wateringly expensive but at least they do come with a full
4 year covers-everything guarantee!

Bit late to reply - but I bought similar (2k) expensive earpieces
three weeks ago (from place that also sell specs).
I wanted to try bluetooth from the TV and rejected the £176 device
and bought an Mpow BH390A which has volume control (but no remote
control).
It says it works best with aptX HD headphones - with zero ms delay
or with aptX Low Latency for 40ms delay. I have not found out what my
aids are - but the delay is really objectional when wife has the
speakers on as well - bad echo effect. I would not recommend the Mpow
for use with these aids unless the speakers are off.

Audio quality is ok but you can't expect hi-fi through the aids.

My opinions only.
