Use iPhone as a remote microphone with Live Listen
You can stream sound from the microphone on iPhone to your Made For iPhone (MFi) hearing devices or AirPods. This can help you hear better in some situations—for example, when having a conversation in a noisy environment.
If you’re using AirPods, place them in your ears.
If your AirPods don’t automatically connect to iPhone, tap
in Control Center or on the Lock Screen, then choose your AirPods.
Turn Live Listen on or off with one of the following methods:
Open Control Center, tap
, tap your hearing device or AirPods, then tap Live Listen.
(If you don’t see
, add it to Control Center—go to Settings
> Control Center, then choose Hearing.)
Triple-click the side button (on an iPhone with Face ID) or triple-click the Home button (on other iPhone models), tap Hearing Devices, then tap Live Listen.
Position iPhone near the sound source.
