I frequently wear a pair of Bluetooth headphones paired to a computer. If I want to listen to something on my phone I have to re-pair the device to my phone.

Is it possible, through software or hardware, to have both my phone and computer connected in such a way that I can get audio output from either device to my headset simultaneously.

I have done this successfully in the past with PulseAudio. It also let me do all the playback controls from my computer, and adjust the volume of the phone separately from apps on the computer
