Hearing aids will pair but not recognized as audio device

tf flag

I can pair my Jabra Enhance hearing aids with Ubuntu 22.10, but they are not recognized as an audio sink. After pairing, the only audio output in the drop-down menu in sound settings is the internal speakers.

The hearing aids are able to stream audio via bluetooth, and work with both iOS and Android. The hearing aids are not equipped with a telecoil.

Other bluetooth audio devices connect with no difficulty.

Any suggestions as to how I can get Ubuntu to recognize the hearing aids as an audio device?

When paired, please add the output of sudo dmesg | grep -i blue (via cut and paste) to your original question. That should give us some device info.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
