The first thing I (have learned to) do when tech won't cooperate is =
upgrade the firmware/software.=20

Most Bluetooth pairings require a code to be entered on the hub (TV) =
from the satellite (hearing aids). Did the manual come with any mention =
of a code? The logical way would be to enter their code on the TV. This =
is so someone else can't pair your hearing aids to their device =
(accidentally or maliciously).=20

Also the Bluetooth device you're trying to connect to the TV needs to be =
in pairing mode so it listens for something to pair to when you push =
"pair" on the TV. It's not always on - usually it's on for a short time, =
maybe a minute, then it gives up if it doesn't find anything. If you =
miss th ewindow you need to push "pair" again.=20

Maybe you've done all this already but that's my BT knowledge. If that =
doesn't work try asking Google using the model numbers of both. I was =
VERY surprised yesterday when my new Lenovo laptop plugged into the Dell =
docking station could see the monitors but not the keyboard and mouse. I =
Googled with the model numbers and someone had the answer (BIOS security =
setting for the Thunderbolt communication protocol what the ever =
livin...).=20
