So, I called Unitron about the computer thing, they insisted that I should be able to hear videos and movies on my computer as long as I turn the bluetooth *off* on my phone. I did that, and my correctly-paired hearing aids are still not showing up as audio devices on my computer. Thankfully I have a blue-tooth mini speaker I won a few years ago when I worked for Staples. It'll do for now, but I really want that TV stream thing so I don't have to deal with the low battery power and need to recharge this speaker every 4 hours.

I don't have that brand, but I have the TV streaming box and move it back and forth between my computer and TV. Works great! BTW Medicare doesn't cover hearing aids....

First time I wore hearing aids I was amazed that Honda actually DID put a clicker noise on the turn signals. Second realization was my refrigerator sure is LOUD.

Doesn't the VA pay for hearing aids for veterans?

Some Medicare Advantage plans DO cover hearing aids. My parents both have them, and they didn't have to pay anything at all. Their Advantage plans covered 100% of the cost.

But thanks for the info on the streaming box! Right now I have my little mini bluetooth speaker pairing with the computer. The sound is - okay, somewhat better than the average gaming laptop stereo speakers, but not nearly as good as my bluetooth headset (which are ear buds, which I can't wear while I have hearing aids in my ears).

I don't know. I'm not a veteran, so it wouldn't apply to me anyway.

I have both Bluetooth hearing aids and TV ears from the VA, isn't this a great country.
