Tips & Troubleshooting
- If pairing fails, unpair or “forget” the hearing aids from your device’s Bluetooth menu, then repeat the pairing process.
- Ensure no other devices are actively connected (Bluetooth off on nearby devices).
- For media not streaming: check app permissions, volume level, and confirm the hearing aids are recognized in your device’s sound settings.
- Rename paired devices (in Bluetooth settings) to distinguish left/right aids and make future pairing easier.
- If needed, visit the manufacturer's support pages linked above for step by step videos or PDF guides.
