Pairing and connecting Signia hearing aids – A step-by-step guide

Signia hearing aids are designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, TVs, and wireless accessories. Whether you’re new to wireless hearing aids or upgrading to a new phone or television, understanding how to pair your Signia devices is essential for getting the most out of your hearing experience.

This page walks you through the most common pairing and connectivity scenarios — from iPhone and Android setup to activating pairing mode and connecting to your TV.

How to pair Signia hearing aids

Pairing your Signia hearing aids for the first time is a simple process, especially when using Bluetooth-enabled models. Most modern Signia devices, including those from the AX and IX platforms, support direct streaming and remote control through the Signia App.

To pair your hearing aids:

Make sure your hearing aids are fully charged and turned off.
On your device (phone or tablet), activate Bluetooth and open the Bluetooth settings.
Turn your hearing aids back on. This puts them automatically into pairing mode for about 3 minutes.
Look for your hearing aids to appear in the list of available devices. Select them to complete pairing.

Once paired, you can use the Signia App to adjust volume, change programs, and manage features like directional microphones or battery status.

For model-specific guidance, we recommend checking your device’s user manual or contacting your hearing care provider.

How to put Signia hearing aids in pairing mode

Signia hearing aids typically enter pairing mode automatically when they are restarted (turned off and on again). Here’s how to do it correctly:

For rechargeable models: Place the hearing aids in the charger and remove them after a few seconds. This restarts them and activates pairing mode.
For battery-powered models: Open and close the battery compartment to restart the device.

Once restarted, the hearing aids remain in pairing mode for a limited window—usually around three minutes. During this time, you should complete the connection on your external device (e.g. smartphone or streamer).

If pairing mode does not activate, try restarting both your hearing aids and the device you’re pairing with.

How to pair Signia hearing aids to iPhone

iPhones offer seamless integration with many Signia hearing aids via Made for iPhone (MFi) technology. Here’s how to pair them:

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices on your iPhone.
Turn Bluetooth on if it isn’t already.
Restart your hearing aids (see section above on pairing mode).
Your iPhone should detect your hearing aids under “MFi Hearing Devices.”
Tap on the name of your hearing aids and confirm pairing.

Once connected, your iPhone can stream calls, music, and other audio directly to your hearing aids. You can also manage settings through the Signia App for iOS.

Note: The pairing process may vary slightly depending on the iOS version and the model of your hearing aids.

How to pair Signia hearing aids to Android

Many Signia hearing aids are compatible with Android phones through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and the ASHA(Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids) protocol.

To pair with Android:

Go to your phone’s Bluetooth settings.
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled.
Restart your hearing aids to activate pairing mode.
Select your hearing aids when they appear in the list of available devices.

Once connected, you can stream audio from supported Android phones directly to your hearing aids and control settings through the Signia App for Android.

Compatibility depends on the Android version and the phone manufacturer. Check Signia’s official compatibility list or consult your hearing care provider if pairing fails.

How to pair Signia hearing aids to TV

To pair your Signia hearing aids to a TV, you’ll need the Signia StreamLine TV accessory, which connects your hearing aids wirelessly to your television for direct audio streaming.

Here’s how to set it up:

Connect the StreamLine TV device to your TV using the included cables (optical, RCA, or 3.5mm jack).
Plug the StreamLine TV into a power outlet and turn it on.
Place your hearing aids near the device. They will automatically pair once they detect the StreamLine TV signal.
Once paired, streaming begins automatically when the TV is on and the device is in range.

You can adjust volume and balance using the Signia App. This setup is ideal for enjoying clear TV sound without disturbing others in the room.
