Detect your hearing aids

Your iPhone should detect your hearing aids and display their names under MFI HEARING DEVICES.
Begin pairing
Go to > Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices > MFI HEARING DEVICES.
Tap the names of your hearing aids.
Tap Pair when you get a pairing request on the screen
If you have two hearing devices, you'll need to confirm two pairing requests.
Pairing can take up to a minute.
Pairing is complete when you see each hearing aid listed under MFI HEARING DEVICES.
When you turn off a device
When you turn off your hearing aids or your iPhone, they will no longer be connected. They will automatically reconnect when you turn on your hearing aids.
Pairing with more than one Apple device
You can pair your hearing aids with more than one Apple device. Your hearing aids should switch to the device you are using, such as when you receive a call on your iPhone.
If you make changes to your hearing device settings on one device, they will be sent to your other devices.
Clearing a pairing
Sometimes, an old device may still be paired and you may wish to delete it. In other cases, clearing an old pairing from your iPhone and re-pairing can solve connection problems.
