Hi, I have an Oticon Real 1 miniRITE R and I am looking for a 8 inch tablet for streaming audio to my hearing aids.

The Samsung tab a7 light that I have does not do this. If anybody could sugest a tablet that works well I would be happy.

Thank you

If your hearing aids are equipped with MFI (the Apple version of low-energy Bluetooth) then an Apple mini iPad will connect directly to your hearing aids for streaming music without needing any intermediate device.

I use 3 tablets, a $1200 Ipad Pro, a $1200 MS Surface Pro, And a $200 Umidigi 8" Android tablet. The Umidigi does everything the big boys do, some things even better. Bluetooth connection is perfect.

Edit - my mistake, the terrific Umidigi tablet is 10" not 8" and the current price is $259

Check out the iPad mini. I bought one a few weeks ago to replace a Kindle Fire – an awful tablet that did me the favor of dying.

I did some searching and comparing. It gets rave reviews – astonishing how many.

And I think it’s terrific. Have not done a ton of streaming on it but what I’ve done has been seamless. (Note: if you will use it for any GPS/Nav apps, you’ll have to get the version that allows cellular in addition to WiFi – tho’ I don’t think you actually have to activate your cell service. Haven’t played with that yet.)

I think it’s worth looking at tablets from other manufacturers, such as apple, lenovo or huawei. They have functionality for transmitting audio to hearing aids.
I hope you can find the right tablet to suit all your needs
Good luck in finding, Pata
