2. On the Apple device, tap on the Settings icon > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Devices.

38).
5. Tap on the name to connect the left and/or right hearing aid to the Apple device.

your name and the text will display in blue (Figure 40).

NOTE- When updating the version of iOS, the hearing aids may lose connection, requiring the
user to un-pair and re-pair the hearing aids to the Apple device. Instructions are available in
the troubleshooting section 10.6.
10.3 Reconnecting to an Apple Device
When the patient places their hearing aids in the Charger at night, it will turn them off which will
disconnect them from the Apple device. To re-establish the connection, the patient needs to turn the
hearing aids on or remove them from a plugged in Charger. Once on, the hearing aids will automatically
connect to the Apple device as long as they are in range of each other (20 feet).
