How to pair RC-A remote control with your hearing aids
Connecting your hearing aids to a remote control allows you to adjust the volume and program on your hearing aids and other devices.
Before you start
Before you can use your remote control with your hearing aids, the devices need to be paired.
You can choose to pair the remote control one hearing aid at a time or with two hearing aids at the same time. If you pair your hearing aids one at a time, you’ll need to repeat the pairing process for the second hearing aid.
The remote control can operate up to two hearing aids at a time. After you have paired two hearing aids to the remote control, both will be adjusted at the same time.
How to pair hearing aids with RC-A remote control
Check the batteries in your remote control.
Press any button to check that the status indicator light illuminates.
If the batteries are running low, the status light will blink rapidly whenever a button is pressed. In this case, replace the batteries.
Restart your hearing aids to activate pairing mode.
Turn your hearing aids off and then on again.
- For hearing aids with disposable batteries, open the battery drawers and then close them
- For rechargeable hearing aids, turn them off by pressing the lower button of each hearing aid for three seconds. Then turn them on again by pressing the lower button of each hearing aid for two seconds. Alternatively, put them in the charger and then take them out again.
