TracFone & Hearing Aid bluetooth pairing

SandGirl · ‎03-09-2010

Anyone have a Tracfone and able to pair their hearing aids?
I just got new Jabra hearing aids from Costco and I only upgraded for the bluetooth ability. But, it doesn't work! I have last years model of Moto G from Tracfone.

The audiologist said I may need to upgrade my phone, VERY frustrating as I just shelled out money for the dang hearing aids!! This technology stuff gets expensive, you have to have the "latest & greatest" or things stop working! Who can afford to upgrade every year!

Sorry for my frustration So, I'm wondering if you have hearing aids & use Tracfone, which phone do you have that will work with pairing bluetooth with hearing aids?

TIA for your help & time.

I'd try giving TRACFONE a call. There is a "possibility" they can make the connection for you. (Although...I can barely understand those folks.)

I googled "tracfone model compatible with hearing aids" and it gave me a link to tracfone wireless site with lists of compatible phones (there are many).

I guess there are many models of "Moto G" phones so you would have to be more specific on your model, i.e., Moto G Stylus 5G 2024, Moto G Play 2023, etc.

What I found interesting is tracfone sells apple iphone se 3rd generation for 189 which is compatible with hearing aids.

Just for curiosity, I checked to see if my iphone 13 is compatible with hearing aids by going to settings - accessibility - and under hearing there is hearing devices.

I have tracfone Samsung Galaxy A13 5G , Model name SM-S136DL. Audiologist paired my phone with hearing aids, using the hearing aid brand name app. Good Luck!

Thank you! Did you get your phone from one of the shopping channels? I may have to look at changing phones, hopefully I can get one decently priced.

Got my phone from either QVC or HSN. Sorry cannot remember which. You probably already did this, but check the app store for the name of your hearing aid.

I have the 2023 moto g power. Under settings>accessibility>hearing aids, it shows I have none connected. When I clicked on hearing aids, another screen popped up. When I clicked on it, it found the other items in the house that have Bluetooth turned on. So I assume my phone would connect to hearing aids just fine.

@Ainhisg Thank you. I tried this and mine doesn't have "hearing aids" so I guess mine isn't compatiable. I wish I had known all this before buying a new phone.

If it's within 30 days of purchase, you can return your current phone. The moto g power is on a Black Friday sale right now on the Q for less than $100.
