[Shop-talk] Blue tooth guru or hearing aid experts

[john]

I recently replaced my 10 year old non-working hearing airs for some new whizz 
bang ones. I’ve reduced my “HUH?” responses by at least 40 percent.  The rest 
my wife attributes to me being hard of listening instead of hard of hearing.   
ANYWAY
The new units are blue tooth compatible.  My Sony flat screen is also blue 
tooth compatible and I tried to pair the two so I can hear the tv through my 
hearing airs …Cool, right??
The TV sees the hearing aids under it's list of blue tooth devices    but they won’t pair up with some cryptic sony code $#^%& or something similiar.  I checked the specs and both accept the same blue tooth ‘protocol’ (I don’t know the right word)  all the letters confuse me.  But, they both use A2DP… but they won’t pair.
Another similar spec is the blue tooth version   one is 4.2 the other is 4.2.2.  Shouldn’t the newer one grandfather the older ??
 
Any enlightenment will be appreciated… and guidance is needed severely.   forum content... I watch shop videos on YouTube a lot.
