I now find that no hearing-aid app is available to interface with AirPods and the new Live Listen iPhone interface Several apps do a terrific job but only work with iPhone hard wired ear buds. Thoughts/advice anyone?

@mckinney3 You say there is no hearing aid app that will work with AirPods. One thought that comes to mind is that the AirPods would be used instead of hearing aids. I could understand why a hearing aid app would not support AirPods. Regardless, we would think that the connection mechanism, BlueTooth, is a standard so it should not matter. Each hearing aid manufacturer has used proprietary communications between their hearing aids and the auxiliary device that communicates with them. I am hoping that the new, upcoming Bluetooth standard will change this. During the last virtual HLAA convention, there was a workshop that talked about the new BT standard. We should start to see products with the new standard coming in the first quarter of 2022. I'll wait for the new standard to be adopted by the hearing aid manufacturers before I buy a new hearing aid.
