I have rexton reaches. If I want to hear my desktop computer through my hearing aids what kind of bluetooth dongle do I need? Do I just need one with for it to work? Is there anything else I need to look for? Also I am a little unclear how I would connect to the hearing aid. would it be through a program on my computer of on the rexton app?

is there go to product?

will the dongle work for the Rexton reaches and the Jabra enhance pro 30’s?

I got this to use on my desktop computer to provide Bluetooth connectivity for my KS10 hearing aids. It works very well.

It apparently supports Bluetooth LE. According to my Device Manager it is running

“on TP-Link Bluetooth 5.4 USB Adapter” so updating the driver must have enabled Bluetooth 5.4.

TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter 5.3 Dongle for PC, Laptop, PS5/PS4/Xbox - USA

US $10.18

  • Bluetooth 5.3:

    Offers faster speeds, increased coverage, and enhanced data transfer with EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) and (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology.

  • Plug and Play:

    Works automatically with Windows 8.1, 10, and 11, as long as you have an internet connection for drivers to download automatically

/Bluetooth LE/Bluetooth Low Energy is not the same as . That dongle is for classic Bluetooth and not LE Audio.

Could they not have picked another name to avoid confusion? Or required a clear spec such as 5.xLE were the LE indicated LE Audio compatibility. To makes things worse not all LE Audio transmission is the same making interoperability and connectivity challenging for now.

I’m a newbie at but got the Oticon Easy LE Adapter, that is , and it works great for my desktop to Otican Intents.. I had to get a USB -A to USB-C adapter, but that was cheap and easy… I don’t know why it would not work with your HAs…

FlooGoo FMA120 support BLEA (Bluetooth ) and can connect to Rexton Reach.

Can Rexton Reach with new firmware support LE-Audio and still support the TV Transmitter 2.4 and Smart Mic?
I have read that new firmware for Rexton Reach HA is available at some Costo sites. Before I upgrade my HAs with the new firmware I need to know if the TV connector and Smart MIC can still be used with the HAs. Does anyone have any experience with this capability? Thanks

Bluetooth dongle with Auracast support - FlooGoo FMA120
We’ve been waiting for such a beast for a while. Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CN71FL92/ Manufacturer’s product page: https://www.flairmesh.com/Dongle/FMA120.html I emailed them asking for information and they replied. I’ll copy it verbatim. I don’t think there’s anything there that they want to keep private. My take is that Auracast is working assuming you have a phone that supports it (which is probably Samsung) but point-to-point LE Audio is a work in progress for hear…

As noted above, the Flairmesh FlooGoo is the one you want.

Rexton hasn’t updated the firmware yet that I know of, so I don’t think you will want to use the broadcast setting on the FlooGoo. Anyhow, just follow the instructions on the Flairmesh web site and you should be good to go. Just make sure you insert the USB dongle correctly, as it can be inserted upside down.

Has the Oticon LE Adpater been confirmed to work with non-Oticon aids?

No it has not. it only pairs to Oticon Intents I’ve heard rumors that it works with Philips 9050, but hven’t seen any verification.

@ButchW please take note.

Thanks for clearing up my over exuberant post.. I just assumed it just put out a generic signal, like the computer would if it had native LE Audio…
