Does anybody know if it's possible to wirelessly connect detector sound output to compatible hearing aids, thereby eliminating the need for headphones. I've spoken to Minelab a couple of times but their standard answer is we'll get back to you on that.

Not necessary. You can set up a wireless system with earbuds and booster or amplifier, which has the same effect as a hearing aid.

My H aid will connect wirelessly to my phone but I have not tried getting it to connect to my tecta.
I will check it tomorrow. My h aids cost me 8 grand so I reckon it is easier and cheaper to use  HPs and the audio quality is way better with HPs. and ear buds.

I use a Digitech (Jaycar) AA2104 wireless bluetooth transmitter which has a 3.5mm plug to pair with my Oticon hearing aids.

Not only can I plug this device into my detector, but any audio output device, i.e TV, music while working in the shed, listening to footy commentary on radio whilst at the footy, etc.
You can still hear around you and have normal conversations.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Phil

Flyrock, does your AA2104 have a lag time. Most Bluetooth devices do.

There is a tiny bit watching Jocko belt the ball, watching the tennis (getting close to 200km/hr!!), but nothing noticeable when using the SDC with a slow swing.
