Enable Bluetooth
Open Settings on your Android phone, go to Bluetooth, and switch it on. - 2
Put your hearing aids in pairing mode
How you do this depends on the model.- Rechargeable hearing aids: place them in the charger, then remove them.
- Battery-powered hearing aids: open and close the battery doors.
Pairing mode lasts only a couple of minutes. If your phone does not see the devices in time, repeat the action.

Open the Bluetooth menu
Stay in the Bluetooth menu and wait a few seconds while your phone searches for nearby devices. Some Android phones expose a separate Hearing enhancements or Connected devices setting that you may need to tap into. - 4
Select your hearing aids
When your hearing aids appear, tap them and confirm with Pair or OK. For a binaural set, you will be prompted to pair the second device the same way. - 5
Confirm the connection
Once paired, the hearing aids should show as Connected in your Bluetooth device list. Play a short video or take a test call to confirm sound is routing through the hearing aids.
Different Android phones (Samsung, Pixel, Motorola, and others) expose Bluetooth and accessibility menus in slightly different places. If a step looks different on your phone, look for the closest match in your Settings or Connected Devices section.
