Bluetooth for hearing aids support (ASHA)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello

I have hearing aids, which can be connected to devices that support
the Bluetooth ASHA protocol.
https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/bluetooth/asha
That protocol is open and somewhat well documented. However, it is
only supported on Android devices at the moment. BlueZ on Linux does
not appear to support it.

The idea is with Bluetooth ASHA, one can stream audio from a computer
directly to a pair of hearing aids. Without Bluetooth ASHA, I'm
limited to using a battery powered, clumsy accessory from Cochlear.

 I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to support that in BlueZ.

For the record, this has been requested in the past, but hasn't
progressed any further.
