Live listen with Phonak hearing aids
Does anyone know if Phonak hearing aids are compatible with Live Listen? I know they weren’t in the past but thought maybe they are now.
Hi Angela-B,
welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!
Re: "Live listen with Phonak hearing aids"
As we do not know which Phonak hearing aid model you have, or which iPhone model you have, and which iOS version is installed on it, it is not easy to research an answer for you:
Seems your Phonak Hearing Aids are not listed in Apple's "Made for iPhone" (MFi) compatible Hearing Aids List. Eg: List of Made for iPhone hearing devices - Apple Support
You can use Live Listen with an iOS device that works with MFi hearing Aids.
Apple support do have an article online for MFi compatible hearing aids:
Use Live Listen with Made for iPhone hearing aids - Apple Support
and also:
Use iPhone as a remote microphone with Live Listen - Apple Support
It may be easiest for you to enter your device information directly on to Phonak's support webpage, in order to check which iPhone features are compatible with your iPhone model and hearing aids. You may see whether "Live Listen" is mentioned or not.
Here is a link to Phonak support webpage for checking compatibility:

All the best :-)
