Can I use both hearing aids and AirPods?

Last updated on Nov 06, 2025

Many people wonder if they can use AirPods with their hearing aids. Generally, it's not recommended to wear both simultaneously as this can cause feedback, discomfort, and potentially damage your hearing. However, some modern hearing aids can stream audio directly from your phone (similar to how AirPods work) through Bluetooth connectivity. This gives you the best of both worlds - your calibrated hearing amplification plus high-quality audio streaming. Discuss with your hearing care professional about the streaming capabilities of your specific hearing aids.
