How to enable hands-free phone calls

Our most recent hearing aids can make and receive hands-free calls when paired directly with an iPhone or iPad. To have hands-free calls via other devices, or with older Oticon hearing aids, you need to use an Oticon ConnectClip accessory, which temporarily makes your hearing aids into a wireless stereo headset.

See our compatibility guide for more information

Making and answering hands-free phone calls

Once paired with your phone or ConnectClip, you simply use your device in the normal way to make or receive a call. The call will be automatically routed to your hearing aids. To answer incoming calls to your iPhone or iPad, you can also briefly press the button on your hearing aids.
