Hi maricio, I'm presently working on a book that discusses challenges like this. It's complex because there are so many types of hearing aids and technologies one might choose. To give you an example of what is working for me after some upgrades to my hearing aid technology a couple of years ago, you might like to take a look at these two posts on my blog. Now Hear This! Musings of a Blind Hearing Aid wearer <http://mosen.org/index.php/now-hear-this-musings-of-a-blind-hearing-aid-wearer/> and a follow-up post: Now Hear This Even Better. A Follow-up <http://mosen.org/index.php/now-hear-this-even-better-a-follow-up/> My general comment would be that Bluetooth systems have a lot of promise, but for users who need responsiveness such as when working with a screen reader, one has to be quite careful that the combination chosen doesn't include unacceptable latency.
