Guide on pairing hearing aids with your smartwatch

While hearing aids and smartwatches with Bluetooth are usually compatible, there are several factors to consider when attempting to pair them. For example, smartwatches need to support specific features for seamless integration. If a smartwatch includes an A2DP profile, it allows the hearing aid wearer to listen to music, while if a smartwatch with an HFP profile, it facilitates making phone calls through the hearing aid. In these instances, users can conveniently adjust their hearing aids directly from their smartwatch.

With your Apple Watch

  1. On your Apple Watch, open Settings, then go to Bluetooth.
  2. Reboot the hearing aids and bring them closer to the watch.
  3. Click on the name of the device to connect them to your Apple Watch.
  4. Once it appears connected, you can start using all the functions of the watch, such as making phone calls or listening to music with the sound coming directly into the hearing aids.

With your Android device
