There is some exciting news for those of you who own Samsung Galaxy S23 devices!
ReSound Nexia hearing aids are now fully compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S23, as it’s the first smartphone on the market that’s Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Audio and Auracast™ broadcast audio compatible.
This means that if you wear ReSound Nexia hearing aids and have a Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphone, with the updated Android® 14 Operating System (OS) you will now have access to Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast broadcast audio, using the new Samsung Galaxy S23’s Broadcast Assistant. It also means you’ll be able to take advantage of the new hands-free calling feature.
Check out our tech tip to learn how to access the new Auracast Broadcast Assistant on the Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphone.
Bluetooth LE Audio is the new standard in connectivity, with many advantages over Classic Bluetooth. It offers higher sound quality with significantly lower battery consumption, while Auracast broadcast audio will transform audio experiences in private and public places.

When will my Nexias be able to connect with a Windows 11 laptop with Bluetooth LE (from a USB dongle)? Currently when I try to “Pair new wireless accessory” the only option is your TV streamer.
Hi Lewis. Thank you for reaching out to us. Our newest Nexia hearing aids are Bluetooth Low Energy Audio (LE Audio) compatible. That technology should become available on more and more devices in the future. We recommend checking with the manufacturer of your PC or with Microsoft support for more information and to see if your computer may have that compatibility.
Otherwise, there are a couple of accessories that would allow you to connect your hearing aids to computers that do not have Bluetooth LE Audio compatibility. One is the Phone Clip+ which connects wirelessly via Bluetooth. It then wirelessly connects to the hearing aids as well. Learn more on the Phone Clip+ here: https://www.resound.com/en-us/hearing-aids/accessories/phone-hearing-aid. The other is called the Multi Mic. The Multi Mic could connect with a wired connection via the computer’s headphone jack. It then also connects wirelessly to the hearing aids. Read more about the Multi Mic here: https://www.resound.com/en-us/hearing-aids/accessories/multi-mic.
We encourage discussing these with your hearing care professional, as they’ll be able to provide you with one if you are interested and assist you with any questions you may have. Thank you so much!
I have Windows 11 on a 3 year old ASUS laptop, but addes a tp-link dongle that is LE Audio. I thought that would solve it. On a reddit blog a resound owner suggested this dongle: https://www.amazon.com/Moerlab-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Headphone-Unlimited/dp/B0CHVPM2T4 I may try it and will let you know if it works.
