Use hearing devices with iPod touch
You can use Made for iPhone (MFi) hearing aids or sound processors with iPod touch and adjust their settings.
Pair a hearing device with iPod touch
If your hearing devices aren’t listed in Settings > General > Accessibility > MFi Hearing Devices, you need to pair them with iPod touch.
Open the battery door on each hearing device.
On iPod touch, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > MFi Hearing Devices.
Close the battery doors on your hearing devices.
When their names appear in the list of devices (this could take a minute), tap the names and respond to the pairing requests.
Pairing can take as long as 60 seconds—don’t try to stream audio or otherwise use the hearing devices until pairing is finished. When pairing is finished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a checkmark appears next to the hearing devices in the Devices list.
You need to pair your devices only once (and your audiologist might do it for you). After that, your hearing devices automatically reconnect to iPod touch whenever they turn on.
Adjust the settings and view the status of your hearing devices
In Settings: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > MFi Hearing Devices.
Use accessibility shortcuts: See Use accessibility shortcuts on iPod touch.
On the Lock screen: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > MFi Hearing Devices, then turn on Control on Lock Screen. From the Lock screen, you can do the following:
Check battery status.
Adjust ambient microphone volume and equalization.
Choose which hearing aids (left, right, or both) receive streaming audio.
Control Live Listen.
Use your hearing devices with more than one iOS device
If you pair your hearing devices with more than one iOS device (both iPhone and iPod touch, for example), the connection for your hearing devices automatically switches from one to the other when you do something that generates audio on the other device, or when you receive a phone call on iPhone. Changes you make to hearing device settings on one device are automatically sent to your other iOS devices.
Sign in to iCloud using the same Apple ID on all the devices.
Connect all the devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
Turn on Hearing Aid Compatibility
Hearing Aid Compatibility may reduce interference and improve audio quality with some hearing aid models.
Go to Settings > General > Accessibility.
Turn on Hearing Aid Compatibility.
