I've been partially deaf my whole life, and decided to get hearing aids.
Decided to go for the best of the best at the time, €4k for the pair, because they were Bluetooth compatible
Test drove them for a month for free, it takes that long to get used to them after a lifetime of hearing problems. Then bit the bullet and paid for them.
A month later I asked the audiologist how to connect my Android phone because it would be useful for taking calls
He said it wasn't possible because Apple had patent-trolled Bluetooth connections to hearing aids and at the time, was blocking other phones from doing it.
Greedy Apple cunts can go fuck themselves
Why would they fuck themselves when they can fuck you instead?
Never have I ever bought a single thing from those mouldy cuntflaps
And yet they have still managed to fuck you up by preventing you from using your Bluetooth compatible hearing aids with your Android phone.
Pardon?
Another reason not to trust audio devices that can only connect through bluetooth, bluetooth is WAYYYY too easy for capitalism to break compatibility with in a way that was impossible when devices were expected to have 3.5mm audio jacks.
