Using 2-Way Audio

Check 2-Way Audio compatibility and learn how to get set up on your iPhone or iPad.

With our Evolv AI hearing aids, the hearing aid microphones can pick up and stream voice directly back to your iPhone or iPad, allowing you to seamlessly talk hands-free. Now, you can also take and end calls directly from your Evolv AI hearing aids, rather than your Apple device.

Compatible with iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and later, as well as iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation), iPad Air (4th generation), and iPad mini (6th generation).

Apple Device Setup

2-Way Audio is solely controlled via Apple native controls. Native controls can be accessed via a triple-click or from Control Center. 2-Way Audio is labeled “Mic Input”.

Using 2-Way Audio

2-Way Audio can be used for phone calls as well as with other apps such as FaceTime, Teams, and Zoom. When a phone call comes in, answer the call on iPhone, iPad, or directly from your Evolv AI hearing aids.

2-Way Audio will stream based on the Mic Input option that was selected from Control Center. For the best streaming experience, iPhone or iPad should be within approximately 10 feet (3 meters) of the user.
