Hearing aids that don’t auto connect to whatever my neighbors are playing on Bluetooth. Also hearing aids with a Bluetooth block list

Seriously I’m fucking losing my mind over this. 3 times in under 10 minutes last night my hearing aids stopped playing the tv I was listening to to play the Bluetooth that my neighbors or their kids were listening to. Suddenly mid conversation with my wife about it, bam, music.

If you live in the US that sounds like something the FDA should be notified about. It's probably not legal to sell a hearing aid that can so easily be hijacked by another party, or if it is, it really shouldn't be. Either way, FDA regulates hearing aids so they are the ones to complain to.

The problem is inherent to Bluetooth, The only way to make it not be like this would be to make things dramatically more difficult to connect to things over Bluetooth.

Not at all, those ones are permanently in pairing mode with no interaction required and instead it should require manual pairing
