Can I pair multiple MFi hearing aids to iPhone 17?

Can I pair more than one set of MFi hearing aids to my iPhone 17?


I have two pairs of bluetooth MFi (made for iphone) hearing aids. (Daytime/nighttime). They are both the same brand (Signia), but different models. It is VERY tedious to "forget this device" for one set and then “pair” the other set every. single. day. Can there please be a way to remember both sets of hearing aids? Obviously, only one set can be in use at a time when paired to the iPhone, but I’d really love to not have to do the constant pairing/unpairing every day.

iPhone 17, iOS 26

I am not familiar with using two pairs of hearing aids, so this divergent thought might sound really dumb to you.


When you pair and connect a hearing device (one at a time) to your iPhone, you are making TWO logical connections.


One is to allow iPhone Audio, such as call Audio, to be sent directly to your Hearing Aids.


the Second is to allow your iPhone APP to CONTROL your Hearing Aids, such as change Volume levels or programs without having to push the buttons on the hearing device itself.


With or without those connections, Ambient/Environment sounds are still send to your ears.

If you are changing to a different set of hearing aids to go to sleep, do you really need either of those connections? What if you just left the daytime hearing Aids connected to your iPhone all the time?


Many users (especially Apple Watch users) set an automatic 'Sleep' focus at bedtime, and it is very similar to 'Do Not Disturb' focus in that no messages or calls will generally be forwarded through.

Am no expert, yet you deserve some reply, and your request has no response as yet:


Seems the process you are using is the correct method ... as you say, only one set of hearing-devices can be in use at a time.


Wondering whether it may be possible to connect one pair of hearing-aids as an "accessory" to check whether they remain available for choosing.
