Bone-conductor hearing aids!!!

[BigPapaDean]

I have been trying for years to find something that really helps my hearing. I grew up with ear infections all the time. There were times when I couldn't go swimming with my friends because of it. Here I am, 71 years old, and still can't carry on a conversation with most people because I am extremely hard of hearing. I found some new ones they tell me are fairly new on the market, but when I get them, the Bluetooth won't work for any more than a foot from my pc. I want to do everything with them, but I need the Bluetooth to watch TV and to play my games, and just about everything else you might think of. These have a 10-12-hour playing time, which is perfect for me. I have questions like, can I extend the Bluetooth to about 12 feet or so? And I can't figure out how to get them to work when I go out without Bluetooth. I am not getting any satisfaction from the customer service. They want me to watch videos with them in action, but not show me how to use the damned things. You probably have figured out I am a little upset with them! Any help would be so much appreciated more than you know. Thank you in advance for your help!

are you using Bluetooth signal repeater or transmitter/receiver class 1 (328Ft and class2 is 33Ft) also The current Bluetooth version is 6.0, which was unveiled on September 3, 2024.

check the firmware of your bluetooth hardware

other use mesh type bluetooth setup but very costly 

have tryed to relocate the PC antenna by extend the connection and place near center  of your listen area or add USB bluetooth 5.0 and 25Ft USB extension cable to widen your range

Thank you, Captn, I will look into each of those and see what I can do.

@KaptCrunchI have more questions. I don't have a clue what my Bluetooth is. How do I find out on my PC? And I found a 5.4 adapter on Amazon, but it's a receiver only! Do I need a transceiver as well? I am desperate to hear again!

I ORDERED A 6.0 AND IT IS DUE HERE SUNDAY! It's A plug-and-play AND PLAY! I WILL SEE IF THAT DOES THE TRICK. I read where the larger new equipment in Bluetooth works with the lesser ones!

good to hear Dean  

note: if can mount dogel on the ceiling is best in central area of your headset use  , try different locations that is balanced to your travels  or can try a window and see how far can keep connection outside of the home. me at home from PC bluetooth is about 25 Ft  connection.

yes 6.0 is backward compatibility  whats new in 6.0

1)
Channel Sounding:
Bluetooth 6.0 features Channel Sounding, which allows devices to determine their relative positions with centimeter-level accuracy. This is particularly useful for applications like location tracking and finding lost devices. 

2)
Enhanced Security:
The new version adds an extra layer of security for data transmissions, making it more difficult for unauthorized devices to intercept communications. This is especially beneficial for applications like smart locks, where proximity-based security is crucial. 

3)
Optimized Energy Efficiency:
Bluetooth 6.0 improves energy efficiency by allowing devices to transmit data only when necessary, significantly reducing battery consumption. This is particularly advantageous for IoT devices that rely on long battery life. 

4)
Increased Range:
While Bluetooth 5.0 supports a maximum range of about 240 meters, Bluetooth 6.0 can extend this range up to 300 meters under ideal conditions, making it more suitable for applications requiring long-distance connectivity. 

5)
Improved Data Throughput:
Although the maximum theoretical transmission speed remains at 3 Mbps, Bluetooth 6.0 enhances the efficiency of data transmission, particularly in environments with many devices, reducing latency and improving overall performance. 

6)
Practical Implications
IoT and Smart Devices: The advancements in Bluetooth 6.0 make it particularly beneficial for IoT applications, where precise localization and energy efficiency are critical. Devices can communicate more effectively, leading to better user experiences and functionality.
User Experience: Bluetooth 6.0 aims to improve the user experience by simplifying the process of switching between connected devices, making it easier to manage multiple Bluetooth connections. 

In summary, Bluetooth 6.0 represents a significant evolution from Bluetooth 5.0, with enhancements that cater to the growing demands of modern wireless communication, particularly in the realms of security, efficiency, and device connectivity. As manufacturers begin to adopt this new standard, users can expect to see these benefits in upcoming devices.
