Connecting to modern life
Our hearing aids play a vital role in helping us feel connected to one another, but did you know that many of these aids have the power to help us even further, and connect us to the modern world?
With a range of options designed to enhance your everyday activities and add convenience to your life, you'll be amazed at what's possible, so here’s our handy guide to connections and wireless accessories!
Pairing your hearing aids to your smartphone
Are you tired of adjusting your hearing aids using fiddly buttons? With many of our hearing aids, including Oticon hearing aids, that's a thing of the past. Most of our hearing aids can link directly to a companion app, such as the Oticon ON app, so you can not only control your hearing aids from your screen, but you can stream sounds directly from your phone to your hearing aids!
It's easy to pair your hearing aids with your smartphone – for Oticon hearing aids follow the step-by-step instructions below.
For information about other manufacturers, please speak to your audiologist.
Using a landline phone with your hearing aids
Do you sometimes struggle to hear conversations whilst on the phone with your hearing aids? These days many hearing aids are compatible with phone adapters to allow you to wirelessly stream the sound from your landline straight into your hearing aid for comfortable conversations.
Phone Adapters are available to purchase from a majority of hearing aid manufacturers, including Oticon - to check if your phone is compatible and learn how to set it up, click below

Wireless microphone and headset in one
Whilst many smartphones can connect to your hearing aids directly, some aren’t compatible. With Oticon hearing aids and ConnectClip, you can make hands-free phone calls and stream music from your smartphone. Learn more about how to use the ConnectClip below.

Connect your hearing aids to the TV
You can enjoy watching TV at your preferred volume, with the help of a TV adapter. This will stream sound directly from the TV to your hearing aids, whilst the rest of the family can keep the volume at a level that suits them. These are available from Oticon and all other major hearing aid manufacturers.
Control your hearing aids with a smartphone app
A lot of modern hearing aids come with free companion apps so you can take control of your hearing aids in the palm of your hand. For those wearing Oticon aids, you can download Oticon's free hearing aid app, Oticon ON. Within the app you can adjust the volume, switch programmes, check your battery, and much more. Plus, you can link your hearing aids to internet-connected devices and services that you choose – such as email, calendars, and much more. Learn more about Oticon ON below.

Track your Oticon hearing aid use with the HearingFitness app
Just like an exercise app, HearingFitness tracks your hearing aid use and provides insights you can use to improve your health behaviours. Give your brain a workout and take control of your hearing health with HearingFitness. Learn more about it below.
Please note: Compatibility with apps and wireless accessories is dependent on your hearing aid and smartphone. For more information about what is compatible with your aids, please speak to your audiologist.
