I meant that it is properly implemented in an official firmware

I would love to be able to connect my hearing aids to my Kobo to listen to my audiobooks instead of having to switch to my headphones via Bluetooth. It seems that most manufacturers ignore hearing aids when considering connectable Bluetooth devices.

There are hearing aids that are Bluetooth compatible.

To me, the OPs original message reads as if their hearing aids are Bluetooth compatible but their Kobo ereader does not see them as a connectable device.

Right On! My hearing aids connect to my phone no problem, but not to my Kobo.

Not the same BT. Horrible standard and most devices only implement part of it.

Hi everyone!
I have the following problem: I own a Kobo Glo N613, which I connected to my computer, and without asking, it started updating. Unfortunately, it didn’t survive this update. I received an SD card image here on the forum, which I wrote to a new SD card. That brought the device back to life. I was happy, but it didn’t last long. I was no longer able to complete the setup process.

I tried connecting to Wi-Fi, but it won’t connect. It does see the network—if I enter the wrong password, it notices—but when I enter the correct details, it just returns me to the date and time settings screen. The other setup method is via cable, but in that case, everything starts over again: it immediately updates and the device breaks once more.

What could be the solution? Where should I start?

Why would the device update when you connect over USB? Updates are usually delivered over Wi-Fi, which you've already said doesn't work.

It might have started to update while plugged in via USB if an update file was found and the device did not have enough power for the update when not attached.
