A:Answer I have the Samsung 32" Smart TV with Bluetooth audio. I wear Phonak Hearing Aids that have a bluetooth receiver. Seeing your question, I decided to try pairing and connecting my devices. It took patience and about 30-minutes, but I did get them paired and connected. They paired immediately. It was the connecting that took awhile. I know my receiver, so I was willing to try over and over until the connection was made. When the connection was made, the sound came through my hearing aids and lowered on the TV. The sound, however, did not go off on the TV as happens when earphones are connected.
