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.
