Made for iPhone hearing aids
If you have Made for iPhone hearing aids, you can use iPhone to adjust their settings,
stream audio, or use iPhone as a remote mic.
Pair with iPhone. If your hearing aids aren’t listed in Settings > General > Accessibility >
Hearing Aids, you need to pair them with iPhone. To start, open the battery door on each
hearing aid. Next, on iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then 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 iPhone.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Hearing Aids, or choose Hearing Aids from the Accessibility Shortcut. See
