Modern hearing aids do much more than amplify sound—they also connect to your favourite devices, offering seamless streaming, hands-free calls, and better control of your hearing experience. Whether you want to stream audio from your TV, take a phone call on your iPhone, or adjust settings via your smartwatch, today’s technology makes it possible.
In this guide, you’ll discover how to connect hearing aids to different devices and what to do when you're having difficulty with connectivity.
Connecting your hearing aids to an iPhone can unlock a range of useful features— from streaming music to using your phone as a remote control. Most iPhones are compatible with Made for iPhone (MFi) hearing aids.
Step-by-step:
Once connected, you’ll be able to adjust volume, switch programmes, and stream audio directly.
If you use an Android device, check that your hearing aids support Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA) technology. This allows direct streaming of calls, music and media.
How to connect:
Some features may require installing a companion app provided by your hearing aid manufacturer or Amplifon.
Binaural direct streaming allows sound to be transmitted to both hearing aids at the same time, delivering a more natural and balanced listening experience. This technology is especially useful when streaming phone calls, music or television, as it improves speech clarity and spatial awareness. Most modern Bluetooth hearing aids support this feature when connected to compatible devices, such as iPhones or selected Android phones.
For users with only one hearing aid, monaural streaming allows audio from stereo sources to be delivered directly to the single device, ensuring they don’t miss out on connectivity features.

It’s possible to connect your hearing aids to your car’s audio system using your smartphone as a bridge. First, connect your phone to the car via Bluetooth, then stream audio—such as GPS directions, phone calls or music — from your phone to your hearing aids. This setup enables you to hear clearly while driving without taking your hands off the wheel. Some advanced hearing aids may also support direct streaming from car systems that are compatible with Bluetooth LE Audio or similar standards.
