Pairing your hearing aids with an Apple Watch unlocks a range of features that can improve your hearing experience and add convenience. Your Apple Watch can serve as a remote control for your hearing aids, letting you easily adjust the volume, change audio streaming apps — such as switching from a podcast to music — and much more. You can also set up vibrating alerts for things like:

• Incoming phone calls and text messages.
• Medication reminders and emergencies.
• GPS turn-by-turn navigation.

To connect your hearing aids and enable Apple Watch integration:

1. Pair your hearing aids with your iPhone.

• Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

• Navigate to Accessibility > Hearing Devices and follow the pairing instructions. Alternatively, use the Bluetooth settings if specified in your hearing aid manual.

2. Sync hearing aid controls to your Apple Watch.

• Once paired with your iPhone, your Apple Watch can receive notifications and offer controls through supported apps or system integration.

Note: Apple Watches generally do not connect directly to hearing aids via Bluetooth. Always check your hearing aid manual or visit the Apple Support website for help and troubleshooting.
