Step-by-Step Fixes
Step 1:
Restart Both Devices
Turn OFF your hearing aid and your phone. Wait 10 seconds. Turn them back on. This resets the connection environment and often solves minor sync issues.
Step 2:
Forget and Re-Pair from Bluetooth Settings
Go to your phone’s Bluetooth menu. Tap your hearing aid and choose 'Forget This Device'. Then re-pair it like new using the manufacturer’s app or settings.
Step 3:
Update or Reinstall the Hearing Aid App
Outdated apps or corrupted settings can block pairing. Delete the app, reinstall the latest version, and follow pairing instructions again.
