If you have Made for iPhone hearing aids (compatible with iPad 4th generation
and later, iPad Air and later, iPad Pro, and iPad mini), you can use iPad to adjust
their settings, stream audio, or use iPad as a remote mic.
Pair with iPad.
If your hearing aids aren’t listed in Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, you need to pair them with iPad. To start, open the battery door on each
hearing aid. Next, on iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth
is turned on. Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids. Close
the battery doors on your hearing aids and wait until their name appears in the
list of devices (this could take a minute). When the name appears, tap it and
respond to the pairing request.
When pairing is finished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a
checkmark appears next to the hearing aids in the Devices list. Pairing can take
as long as 60 seconds—don’t try to stream audio or otherwise use the hearing
aids until pairing is finished.
You should only need to pair once (and your audiologist might do it for you).
After that, each time you turn your hearing aids back on, they reconnect to iPad.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status.
Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids, or choose Hearing Aids
from the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut. Hearing aid settings
appear only after you pair your hearing aids with iPad.
For shortcut access from the Lock screen, go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > Hearing Aids, then turn on Control on Lock Screen. Use the
settings to:
Check hearing aid battery status.
Adjust ambient microphone volume and equalization.
Choose which hearing aids (left, right, or both) receive streaming audio.
Control Live Listen.
Stream audio to your hearing aids.
Stream audio from Siri, Music, Videos, and more by choosing your hearing aids
from the AirPlay menu .
Use iPad as a remote microphone.
You can use Live Listen to stream sound from the microphone in iPad to your
hearing aids. This can help you hear better in some situations by positioning
iPad nearer the sound source. Triple-click the Home button, choose Hearing
Aids, then tap Start Live Listen.
Use your hearing aids with more than one iOS device.
If you pair your hearing aids with more than one iOS device (both an iPhone and
iPad, for example), the connection for your hearing aids automatically switches
from one to the other when you do something that generates audio on the other
device, or when you receive a phone call on iPhone. Changes you make to
hearing aid settings on one device are automatically sent to your other iOS
devices. To take advantage of this, all of the devices must be on the same Wi-Fi
network and signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID.
