Connecting IPhone to hearing aids

Exactly how did you set up those hearing aids? In my husband's experience, we found it was critical to start the set up process in iPhone accessibility settings first. The instructions below worked well for him. If they do not for you, then please do as razmee209 suggested and reach out to your hearing device company. Or contact the prescriber. Set up an appointment for help. Good luck!

1. On iPhone, go to Settings  > Bluetooth, then make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
2. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices.
3. Turn your hearing devices off and back on again.
4. If you’re unsure how to turn them off, refer to the instructions that came with them, or check with the audiologist who helped you set them up.
5. When their name appears below MFi Hearing Devices (this could take a minute), tap the name and respond to the pairing requests.
6. Pairing can take as long as 60 seconds—don’t try to stream audio or otherwise use the hearing devices until pairing is finished. When pairing is finished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a checkmark appears next to the hearing devices in the Devices list.

You need to pair your devices only once (and your audiologist might do it for you). After that, your hearing devices automatically reconnect to iPhone whenever they turn on.
