How Do I Stop Every Single Sound Playing in My Hearing Aids?

So you want to hear phone calls, but you don't want the aids to go dull every time someone sends you a text? You're in the right place.

I'm an iPhone person, so I'll start there. Did I mention how much easier iPhones are for hearing aid users..?

IPHONE

Settings

Accessibility

Hearing Devices

Where it says "Play System Sounds", switch the toggle button off (it should go grey)

ANDROID*

For Samsung and most of Android devices:

1. Go to: Settings → Connections  

2. Select Bluetooth 

3. Find your hearing aids in the list of paired devices

   1. Blue name → Actively connected and streaming audio

   2. Gray/white name → Paired but not streaming audio

4.  To stop streaming (e.g., calls or music), tap on your hearing aids' name. The color will change, indicating streaming is off while keeping them paired.
