Connect MFI hearing aids to Apple Watch

Hi Didaho,

You can connect your Apple Watch to your hearing aids, unfortunately you will likely require additional hardware from your hearing aid manufacturer to achieve this.

I have the Resound Enzo hearing aids and I can connect to my Apple Watch using the Resound PhoneClip. You pair the watch with the PhoneClip and then pair the PhoneClip with the hearing aids.

Hope this helps!

Recommend this to Apple:

I conclude the same. So, recommend the compatibility to Apple. That way they can most certainly consider looking into it. The more they hear of this, the more likely they will get with it, fix this compatibility concern.

To Give Feedback:

1. Go Here: Feedback - Apple Watch - Apple
2. Select: "Compatibility: got the "Feedback Type"
3. Proceed from there as necessary
