Best Bluetooth Hearing Aids
What are Bluetooth hearing aids?
If you want to stream phone calls, music, and TV audio directly to your hearing aids without headphones or extra kit, Bluetooth hearing aids can do exactly that.
Most modern hearing aids from the leading brands now include Bluetooth as standard, and for many people, it genuinely changes the way they use their hearing aids day to day.
The question is not really "what is Bluetooth?" It is whether the features are worth paying for, given how you actually live. If you regularly use your phone, watch television, or take video calls, the answer is usually yes.
If you mainly need clearer hearing for face-to-face conversation and rarely stream audio, a non-Bluetooth model might suit you just as well at a lower price.
Our HCPC-registered audiologists can help you work out which applies to you, at a free hearing test in one of our 93+ clinics or during a free home visit.
Who should consider Bluetooth hearing aids?
Bluetooth hearing aids are particularly beneficial if you:
- Make regular phone calls and want hands-free convenience
- Watch television and struggle to hear dialogue clearly
- Listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks on your smartphone
- Attend video calls for work or keep in touch with family
- Use GPS navigation whilst driving
- Want discreet control of your hearing aids without touching them
- Lead an active lifestyle with varied listening environments
If you rarely use smartphones, don't stream media, and primarily need amplification for face-to-face conversations, you might not need to pay extra for Bluetooth hearing aid technology.
One of our audiologists can help you decide whether Bluetooth features justify the investment for your specific situation, at a free hearing test with no obligation to buy anything.
Quick benefits of Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids
These are some of the main advantages of using Bluetooth hearing aids, including improved sound quality, convenience, and enhanced user experience.
Watching TV
You can stream TV audio directly to your hearing aids via Bluetooth.
Chatting on the phone
Enjoy stress-free phone calls with direct audio streamed to your hearing aids with Bluetooth.
Listening to music
Stream your favourite music directly to your hearing aids without the need for headphones.
Bluetooth hearing aids, how do they work?
In short, they are wireless communication systems between devices. Bluetooth hearing aids transmit radio waves through high-frequency channels to connect to another source.
They are paired with each other to communicate data safely by changing frequency continuously, thousands of times per second.
Bluetooth technology has its roots in research begun by Ericsson in the early 1990s.
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), the body that governs the standard, was formally established in 1998, with the goal of creating a universal wireless connection between devices.
Today, over 33,000 companies are members of the SIG, and Bluetooth is built into virtually every smartphone, tablet, and laptop sold worldwide.
Bluetooth hearing aids keep you connected
Hearing aids with Bluetooth connectivity enhance your everyday life and keep you connected to both iOS and Android phones, as well as other wireless devices.
You can also connect Bluetooth hearing aids to TV systems and other devices in your own home.
Historically, hearing aids held limitations for hearing aid wearers in regard to accessing audio devices like mobile phones. You can imagine this was quite frustrating.
For example, if they wanted to jog and listen to music at the same time, they would have to remove their hearing aids and switch to headphones.
Bluetooth hearing aids have come a long way, and modern hearing aids are so much better, accommodating both connections to audio devices and streaming sound straight to your hearing aids.
There are different types of Bluetooth hearing aids
Are Bluetooth hearing aids right for me?
Bluetooth hearing aid features
Are Bluetooth hearing aids worth it?
Here, we explore the various features of Bluetooth hearing aids, such as connectivity options, streaming capabilities, and compatibility with different devices. Hopefully, this section should answer the question: "Do I really need Bluetooth hearing aid technology?"
Today's Bluetooth hearing aids cater to all types and levels of hearing loss from mild to severe. They are extremely convenient for those who use Bluetooth-enabled devices like tablets, iPads, TVs, and smartphones.
Using such Bluetooth technology will allow your hearing aids to enhance your everyday life, making it easier while giving you more control and more freedom.
But will you use the technology? Bluetooth hearing aids connect you to your friends, loved ones, and the world seamlessly. However, if you do not use Bluetooth devices and have a standard smartphone, you may not get the most out of Bluetooth hearing aids.
Not sure where to start? A free home visit from one of our audiologists is a low-pressure way to talk through your options. There is no obligation to buy anything, and the hearing test itself is free.
Your audiologist will go through what you want from your hearing aids, what your hearing loss needs, and also what would enhance your current lifestyle.
It is also important that you discuss what Bluetooth-enabled devices you already have that you'd like to connect with your hearing aids, and whether the technology is compatible.
The smart technology of Bluetooth hearing aids
Historically, the concept of Bluetooth hearing aids described only the devices that have a direct connection to a mobile phone to enable audio streaming. In short, when the industry spoke about Bluetooth hearing aids, they were referring to Made for iPhone hearing aids (also known as MFI).
The Made for iPhone hearing aids came onto the market with Resound’s LiNX platform in 2014 – their first iPhone device. This was then quickly mirrored by Starkey’s Halo hearing aids, and now the industry has seen a sea of change with manufacturers adding to their Bluetooth hearing aid ranges.
What if my hearing aids can't connect?
If your hearing aids don't incorporate direct streaming, don't worry, there are plenty of hearing aid streamers on the market that connect you.
Pretty much all the hearing aid manufacturers have Bluetooth-compatible hearing aid streamers. It ensures fast, low-energy, and reliable wireless audio streaming directly to your hearing aids.
What are Bluetooth hearing aid streamers? Streamers are effectively the 'go-between' between your hearing aids and your electronic device.
How Bluetooth hearing aids improve daily life
Real-world scenarios
Beyond the technical specifications
Here's what Bluetooth hearing aids actually mean for your everyday experiences:
At the supermarket checkout:
Your phone rings whilst you're packing shopping, answer it with a tap on your hearing aid rather than fumbling for your mobile.
During family video calls:
Stream your grandchildren's voices directly into both hearing aids with crystal-clear quality, without asking them to repeat themselves.
On your walk:
Listen to your favourite podcast whilst remaining aware of traffic and cyclists approaching from behind.
Cooking dinner:
Follow along with a recipe video streaming to your Bluetooth hearing aids whilst keeping your hands free for chopping and stirring.
At the cinema:
Connect to venues with Auracast technology (coming soon) to hear films at your preferred volume without disturbing others.
In the car:
Navigate using GPS directions streamed directly to your Bluetooth hearing aids without missing crucial turning instructions. These aren't just nice-to-have features; they're genuine quality-of-life improvements that help you stay connected and independent.
Bluetooth Hearing Aids For Any Phone
Made for Any Phone Hearing Aids
Made for any Phone Bluetooth hearing aids offer universal compatibility with any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone or device, without needing a separate streamer.
This includes both iPhones and Android devices, as well as laptops, tablets, and other Bluetooth-enabled electronics. Within the UK, this capability is available across the Phonak and Unitron ranges.
Offering you the flexibility of having connectivity to any smartphone or mobile phone, whether it's an iPhone or an Android, with Bluetooth capabilities.
This is for audio and call streaming (and pretty much any electronic device with Bluetooth).
MFA hearing aids offer advanced sound processing, improved speech clarity, noise reduction, adaptive features, and enhanced comfort.
Providing users with a customised hearing experience for better overall listening in various environments.
Bluetooth Hearing Aids iPhone
Made for iPhone Hearing Aids
Bluetooth hearing aids for iPhones are also acknowledged as both MFI and Made for iPhone hearing aids, which basically means a technology that can be paired with iPhones, iPads, and iPods.
It is an Apple-specific licensed product that includes a variety of devices to connect and integrate.
You might want to consider a rechargeable option if you are buying Bluetooth hearing aids compatible with an iPhone.
This means you are able to take full advantage of the direct Bluetooth hearing aids streaming capabilities.
They enhance sound quality, offer seamless connectivity, allow personalised settings, support phone calls and media streaming, improve communication, and provide convenience through app controls for better hearing experiences.
Bluetooth Hearing Aids Android
Made for Android Hearing Aids
Before Android 10, Android developers were having a bit of a problem. They hadn't invested enough time to research, develop, and launch hearing aid integration.
Android displayed similar features to those of the Made for iPhone hearing aids, but had always needed a streamer, whilst Apple was a direct connection. All that has changed.
Over the last few years, Google has been dedicated to making Bluetooth hearing aids for Android phones more accessible to people with hearing loss.
The company launched an app called Sound Amplifier, turning your Android smartphone into a hearing aid.
They provide seamless connectivity, direct streaming of calls and media, customisable sound settings, enhanced speech clarity, noise reduction, and easy control through compatible apps for a tailored listening experience.
Top-Rated Bluetooth Hearing Aids in the UK
Are Bluetooth hearing aids any good?
Bluetooth development has been a challenge
Even though hearing aid manufacturers saw huge potential and benefits to Bluetooth hearing aid technology over the years, the development hasn’t been plain sailing.
Originally, the transferred audio wasn’t of great quality and relied on huge amounts of power. Due to this, most brands opted to design streamers to bridge the gap between connectivity and sound quality – a middleman of sorts.
Ultimately, this work led to the first-ever Made for iPhone hearing aids with a direct connection, allowing wearers to access the world through their hearing aids using mobile phone features and apps.
All hearing aid manufacturers now have Made for iPhone Bluetooth hearing aid models on offer, but it is worthwhile knowing that you may need a connective device – a streamer - for some models for hearing aid mobile phone compatibility.
What do we think of Bluetooth hearing aids?
Are there advantages to Bluetooth hearing aids? Most consumers and audiologists would say they were better, even though the Bluetooth hearing aid connectivity doesn’t ensure better-performing hearing aids.
One of the main benefits of Bluetooth hearing aids is their ability to connect to a wide range of devices, including phones, TVs, and music players.
This allows users to stream audio directly to their hearing aids, which can be especially useful for people who have difficulty hearing in noisy environments or who have difficulty understanding speech.
Another benefit of Bluetooth hearing aids is their ability to be controlled remotely. Many Bluetooth hearing aids come with a remote control or app that allows users to adjust the volume, switch between listening programs, and control other features.
This can be especially convenient for people who have difficulty manipulating small buttons or who have dexterity issues.
Bluetooth hearing aids also offer several other benefits. For example, many models come with noise reduction and feedback reduction technologies, which can help to improve the overall listening experience.
They may also come with directional microphones, which can help to improve speech understanding in noisy environments.
Telecoil and Bluetooth
Most people have heard of Bluetooth, but there's another clever bit of technology quietly built into many hearing aids called a telecoil, or T-coil for short. It's a tiny copper coil that picks up magnetic signals from compatible phones, hearing loops, and the kind of public sound systems you'll find in places like theatres, churches, and train stations.
Where Bluetooth keeps you connected to your own devices at home or out and about, the T-coil comes into its own when you're in a public space fitted with a loop system — cutting through the background noise so you can hear what's actually being said.
Together, the two technologies complement each other rather than compete: Bluetooth is ideal for streaming from your personal devices at home or on the go, while the T-coil kicks in when you're out in public spaces equipped with a loop system, cutting out background noise and delivering sound directly and clearly.
Many modern hearing aids include both, meaning you get the best of both worlds without needing to think too much about which one is doing the work.
Common Bluetooth Hearing Aid Connection Issues
(and how to solve them)
Bluetooth hearing aid technology has improved dramatically
However, you might occasionally encounter these situations:
- Connection drops during phone calls: Usually resolved by ensuring your smartphone is within recommended range (typically 3-10 metres depending on the model) and isn't obstructed by walls or your body
- Audio delay when watching TV: Some Bluetooth hearing aids have a slight lag between video and audio. TV streamers specifically designed for hearing aids eliminate this issue
- Difficulty pairing with new devices: Most Bluetooth hearing aids can only pair with a limited number of devices (typically 8-10). You may need to "forget" unused devices to add new ones
- Battery drains quickly with Bluetooth: Streaming audio uses significantly more power than regular hearing aid use. If you stream for several hours daily, consider models with longer battery life or keep a portable charger handy
- One hearing aid connects, but the other doesn't: This usually indicates the hearing aids need re-pairing with each other first, then with your device. Your audiologist can walk you through this process
Your audiologist can troubleshoot these issues during follow-up appointments, and most modern Bluetooth hearing aids include detailed pairing instructions in their accompanying apps.
Did you know that we offer free home visits?
Wherever you live, we have between 2 and 3 audiologists in your area who can support your hearing healthcare locally. You can book an appointment to see them in one of our clinics or in the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you.
Bluetooth Industry Terms for Hearing Aids
Made for iPhone hearing aids (MFI)
These connect directly to iPhones without an additional streamer for streaming calls and audio.
MFI hearing aid devices don’t always connect to Android phones and might need a streamer to be successful.
Made for Android hearing aids or Made for Any Phone (MFA)
These, in the past, still needed an additional streamer, but since Android 10, the future of direct connection has become brighter.
These now connect to any mobile phone with Bluetooth capabilities and pretty much any Bluetooth device.
Bluetooth hearing aid streamers
It is important to bear in mind that whilst some Bluetooth hearing aids are Made for iPhones, they may still need a streamer to benefit from the wireless technology.
This would be an additional cost that is usually between £200 to £500, depending on the brand and device needed.
Your audiologist will discuss all the options available to you. If a streamer is needed, you can also purchase one directly from them.
Bluetooth-compatible hearing aids
These are not directly connected and need a streamer to connect to a mobile phone and to stream audio (using an app).
They do connect to Android devices the same way once you have said streamer in place.
Bluetooth Hearing Aids Costs
How much are Bluetooth hearing aids in the UK?
With the introduction of Bluetooth 4.0, this innovation, as well as the rise of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, means Bluetooth hearing aids are now widely available.
They have become rather mainstream and, therefore, result in many Bluetooth hearing aid prices being no more expensive than those that don't have this technology.
Bluetooth hearing aids are now available across all technology levels. Prices start from around £795 per aid for entry-level models, rising to £1,995 per aid for the most advanced options.
All prices include your hearing test, fitting, and aftercare for life. In most cases, our prices are around 40% less than the high street. You might have visited a high street hearing aid retailer and been quoted a high price for hearing aids.

Advantages of Bluetooth hearing aids
Bluetooth hearing aid benefits
Even if you need an additional hearing aid streamer to benefit from wireless connectivity and functions, Bluetooth hearing aids offer a plethora of advantages to hearing aid wearers. Here are the top four benefits, as highlighted by our audiologists.
1. Bluetooth hearing aids give you better control
You can control sound more easily with Bluetooth hearing aids, as sound can be adjusted remotely through your smartphone or using a streamer. This means you will have full control and management of your hearing aids at your fingertips.
This is a huge benefit to those who wear discreet hearing aids and cannot gain access to any external controls to make adjustments.
2. You get a more tailored listening experience with Bluetooth hearing aids
You can stream sound directly to both hearing aids with Bluetooth hearing aids. For example, when you are on the phone, you can stream sound into just one hearing aid device so you can continue to hear your surrounding sounds.
Alternatively, you can stream music into both hearing aids, as you would with headphones. This benefits you because you will always have a natural and realistic listening experience.
3. There is better localisation with Bluetooth hearing aids
Because Bluetooth hearing aids work in sync using binaural hearing technology, they mimic the natural localisation of both your own ears. This benefits you because it makes it easier to know where the sound is coming from.
Hearing aids without Bluetooth usually process sound separately, which can sometimes make figuring out the direction of sound more challenging.
4. Bluetooth hearing aids allow for multiple connectivity
Hearing aid streamers can often be connected to several Bluetooth-enabled devices, which makes it a lot easier to switch between them and the sounds you want to be streamed into your hearing aids.
What to ask your audiologist regarding Bluetooth hearing aids
Before you consider purchasing your Bluetooth hearing aids, reflect on your needs and priorities, as well as discuss your queries, anxieties, and expectations with your audiologist.
At the end of the day, you mustn't be paying for what you ultimately don't need.
Here is our consumer tick list for those who are thinking about upgrading or purchasing Bluetooth hearing aids, and some questions you might want to ask your audiologist:
- iPhone Streaming: Do the hearing aids stream audio from iOS devices?
- Android Streaming: Do the hearing aids stream audio from Android phones?
- Laptop Streaming: Do the hearing aids stream audio from laptops and other Bluetooth hearing aid devices?
- Accessories: Do I need to purchase accessories to stream audio from various devices or to have hands-free calls with these hearing aids?
- Connectivity: Do the hearing aids provide reliable connectivity with numerous devices, and is it easy to install? How many Bluetooth devices can you connect to at the same time?

Whilst Intent uses a more natural open sound portrayed in 360 degrees that mirrors the way our brain naturally hears (this is where the AI comes in), Lumity focuses more on speech to reduce the effect of background noise. Neither approach is better: it depends on your lifestyle and listening preferences.

"Bluetooth is one of the most asked-about features we hear about from people considering private hearing aids for the first time. The honest answer is that it makes a real difference to some people's daily lives and very little difference to others. The key is working out which camp you're in before you pay for the technology. That is exactly what a hearing test and a proper conversation with your audiologist is for."
Paul Harrison, Audiology, Hearing Aid UK

Summary
Bluetooth hearing aids do more than just help you hear; they keep you connected to the world around you. By linking wirelessly to your smartphone, TV, and other everyday devices, they let you stream audio, answer calls, and quietly adjust your settings without anyone noticing.
There are a few different types to know about: Made for iPhone, Made for Android, and Made for Any Phone. Some older models need a small extra device called a streamer to get the most out of the connection, but many of today's hearing aids connect directly and even support hands-free calling straight out of the box.
If you regularly use your phone, enjoy watching TV, or like to listen to music on the go, Bluetooth hearing aids can genuinely make those everyday moments easier and more enjoyable. Prices start from around £795 per aid, and brands like Phonak, Signia, and Oticon consistently top the list when it comes to performance and reliability.
That said, Bluetooth isn't for everyone, and that's completely fine. If you're not particularly tech-driven and mostly just need clearer hearing day-to-day, you may not need to pay extra for features you won't use. It's always worth having a conversation with your audiologist to work out what's actually right for you.
