Hey ma ppl,
i need some halp plz.
I want to run my hearing aids on Linux mint. So basically i need to implement a blueZ stack which supports the asha-protocoll (audio streaming for hearing aids)
I can see my aids on Bluetooth via BLE (Bluetooth low energy)
I can connect to them… and stay connected ^^
BUT
i dont see any audio channel dedicated to that and i cant create a suitable one.
Plz gib me some tippz what to load and the comand lines for it maybe.
Im on the newest Linux Mint.
Try a newer distro, in case the bluetooth stack on Mint from 2024 is too old. Maybe the latest ubuntu, and see if that works (try the live cd, no need to install). If not, try Fedora, which is different enough to possibly implement things a bit differently. If that doesn’t work either, you’re probably out of luck. The asha protocol has bugs on linux. Basically, Linux is great for common hardware, not so good for uncommon one.
it never occurred to me that i can use my hearing aids on my computers!
thanks for making me aware!!!
Did you already find this?
I followed step by step and a litle help by ai…
But still no New sink for hearing aids.
For what it is worth, my Bluetooth hearing aids just work on Ubuntu. Have not tried BLE.
There is a PipeWire module for ASHA. It looks like it has issues with a lot of devices though.
