This is the best summary I could come up with:
Windows 11 will soon let some users with hearing aids take calls, listen to music, and stream audio from their PCs, Microsoft announced on Wednesday.
The recently rolled out Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25977 now supports hearing aids equipped with Bluetooth LE Audio technology, Microsoft revealed.
The feature is currently only available on select Windows devices with Bluetooth LE Audio support, though Microsoft says more PCs will offer it in the future.
The tech giant also says it will add more capabilities for hearing aids over time, such as the ability to control audio presets within Windows.
The company announced that users will now receive notifications when an app attempts to access their location or Wi-Fi information.
It’s likely even more big players will enter the market after retailers started selling hearing aids over the counter last year.
