    How to Pair Hearing Aids with iPhone

    Connect Made for iPhone (MFi) hearing aids over Bluetooth to stream calls, music, and notifications straight to your ears.

    1

    Turn on your hearing aids

    ~15s
    Open the battery doors or place the hearing aids in their charger, then take them out and put them in your ears. They need to be on and near the phone for pairing.
    2

    Open iPhone Accessibility settings

    ~15s
    Go to Settings, tap Accessibility, then scroll down and tap Hearing Devices. The phone will start searching for nearby hearing aids.
    3

    Wait for the hearing aids to appear

    ~15s
    Your hearing aid model (with your name, if your audiologist set it up) should appear on the screen. Tap it.
    4

    Confirm pairing on the iPhone

    ~15s
    A pairing request will pop up for each ear — tap Pair on both. This only happens the first time; after that, the hearing aids reconnect automatically.
    5

    Test a phone call

    ~15s
    Call someone and check that their voice plays clearly in the hearing aids. If the sound is too quiet or too loud, go back to Settings, Accessibility, Hearing Devices, and adjust the volume sliders.

    Made for iPhone (MFi) hearing aids connect directly to an iPhone over Bluetooth, so phone calls, music, and even GPS directions play right in your ears. Most major brands — including Phonak, Oticon, ReSound, and Starkey — now make MFi models.

    Once paired, you can also change hearing-aid settings from the phone's Accessibility menu: volume, program, and background-noise reduction. No extra app needed for most features.
