Rexton hearing aids use Bluetooth Low Energy to connect with mobile devices and to support audio streaming.
On Apple devices, Rexton uses the Made for iPhone (MFi) protocol for direct streaming.
On Android devices, Rexton uses ASHA (Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids) if supported by the phone manufacturer.
Please note that not all Android phones support ASHA. Whether a device works with ASHA depends on how the manufacturer has implemented it.
To see which Android phones are compatible with ASHA and have been tested, please visit the Device Compatibility page.
Some Rexton hearing aids that have the appropriate firmware are compatible with LE Audio, which uses the LC3 codec for streaming.
LE Audio offers benefits such as improved sound quality and reduced battery consumption.
To find out whether your specific hearing aid model supports LE Audio and the LC3 codec, contact your hearing care professional or refer to your device's firmware version.
Rexton hearing aids may be discoverable by some third-party devices because they use Bluetooth Low Energy for app control, which these devices might detect. However, audio will not stream unless the device supports one of the specific protocols Rexton hearing aids use for audio transmission: MFi (Made for iPhone), ASHA (Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids), or LE Audio (only supported by some models).
Bluetooth-enabled Rexton hearing aids with the correct firmware may also pair with select Apple computers that support the MFi protocol. For more information on compatible macOS devices, check Apple’s support documentation.
If a third-party device supports the LE Audio protocol and can pair with Rexton hearing aids that run the appropriate firmware, streaming may work. This depends on both the hearing aid model and the capabilities of the device.
When your Rexton hearing aids are connected via Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices on an iPhone, you’ll see a variety of options to customize how they interact with your phone:
When you tap on your hearing aids (listed as "Connected"), additional settings appear:
Yes, you can have more than one iOS device paired to your Rexton hearing aids. If the devices share the same Apple ID, the pairing may even sync automatically through iCloud.
However, streaming can only happen from one device at a time.
To switch:
First, check that your hearing aids aren’t blocked by earwax or debris. This could stop streamed audio from coming through, even if the hearing aids amplify environmental sound normally.
If needed, follow the unpairing and repairing instructions provided earlier in the guide.
If the issue continues, reset the app:
If the app still can’t find your hearing aids, unpair and re-pair them in your phone’s Bluetooth menu (see pairing instructions above), then return to the app to retry setup.
Still not working? Uninstall and reinstall the app. After reinstalling, reopen it, accept permissions and terms, and go through the Bluetooth setup again.
If you've turned your phone's streaming volume to 100% and the audio still sounds low, start by making sure your hearing aid domes or tips are clean. Blocked output can affect both streaming and environmental sound.
If everything looks fine and sound is still too low, consult your hearing care professional. They can increase the default streaming gain in the hearing aid settings, so you won’t need to rely solely on your phone's volume. They can also fine-tune frequencies to improve streaming clarity.

Android – LE Audio streaming:
You can change the audio routing using your phone’s native settings:
Try using the Balance slider in the Rexton App while streaming. Move it toward Sharp to enhance treble, or Soft to reduce it. For more detailed sound adjustments, contact your hearing care provider.
If you’re streaming via LE Audio or Classic Bluetooth, system-level audio settings or EQ apps on your phone may also influence sound quality.
Yes, certain Rexton hearing aids allow you to answer or end calls by pressing a button or using a tapping gesture on the hearing aids. This depends on the phone and hearing aid compatibility.
On iPhones, the feature works with supported Rexton hearing aids and newer phone models.
On Android devices, this function is available when using hearing aids with compatible firmware and phones that support LE Audio.
If your hearing aids and phone support it, you’ll be able to manage calls directly without needing to touch your phone. If unsure, check with your hearing care professional for compatibility.
It depends on whether your hearing aids support HandsFree calling. If they do, your voice will be picked up by the hearing aid microphones, allowing you to keep your phone in your pocket during a call.
If HandsFree is not supported, the phone’s microphone will be used instead. In that case, it’s best to keep the phone in front of you and close to your mouth, similar to using speakerphone, so the other person can hear you clearly.
For details on whether this feature is available with your specific hearing aids and phone, check with your hearing care professional.
This may happen if your hearing aids are using HandsFree mode and picking up background sounds through their microphones. Here’s how to reduce it:
iPhone:
If HandsFree is active, you can disable Mic Input in the MFi menu. Triple-click the Side button to open it, tap on your hearing aids, and toggle Mic Input off. This routes your voice through the iPhone microphone instead, which better filters background noise.
You can also enable Voice Isolation during a call (iOS 15 or newer). Swipe down to open Control Center, tap the orange mic icon, and choose Voice Isolation to filter out surrounding noise.
Android:
If you're using a phone that supports LE Audio, switching back to the ASHA protocol may help. This moves voice pickup back to the phone’s mic. Keep the phone near your mouth like on speaker mode.
To disable LE Audio, go to Bluetooth Settings, tap the gear icon next to your hearing aids, and turn off the LE Audio option.
iPhone (general):
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices > Call Audio Routing
You can set either Call Audio or Media Audio to Never Hearing Devices. That type of sound won’t route to your hearing aids by default, but can still be selected manually during use.
Android (general):
Android doesn’t let you set a default, but you can switch the audio route during calls or media using the call screen or pull-down media control panel.
