Enable and Use Apple Live Listen Feature on iPhone

Did you know your AirPods can double as a hearing aid? With the latest iOS update, your iPhone can transform into a hearing aid using the “Live Listen” feature.

This guide will teach you how to turn on “Live Listen” on your AirPods and use your iPhone to amplify sounds.

What is Live Listen?

Live Listen is a feature that turns your iPhone into a remote microphone, and allows you to hear sounds directly through your AirPods or compatible Beats headphones.

For example, you can place your iPhone on a table during a conversation, activate Live Listen, and hear the discussion even if you’re outside the room.

Enable Live Listen feature in iOS 17

Devices Supporting Live Listen

This feature is compatible with several Apple devices and requires iOS or iPadOS 14.3 or later. The compatible devices include:

  • AirPods (all variants)
  • AirPods Pro
  • AirPods Max
  • Powerbeats Pro
  • Beats Fit Pro
  • Beats Studio Pro

How to Turn On Live Listen

Step 1: Connect your AirPods to your iOS device. Then, open the Settings app, scroll down, and tap “Control Center.”

Tap on Control center in settings app

Step 2: Scroll down to More Controls and tap the green plus symbol next to Hearing to add it to your Control Center (required for this feature).

Click on Add button to add Hearing on control cernter

Step 3: Swipe down from the top right of your display to open the Control Center, then tap and hold the “Hearing” icon.

Tap on Control center hearing option

Step 4: Tap on the Hearing button and select “Live Listen.”

Tap on Live Listen to enable Live Listen

Removing the Hearing Icon from the Control Center

Open the Settings app > tap Control Center > tap the red minus symbol next to Hearing to remove it from your Control Center > tap on the Remove button.

Remove Hearing Icon from Control Center

I hope you now understand the usefulness of this feature. Give it a try if you have any AirPods that support this feature with your device. However, please note that you cannot record any Live Listen conversations or use it beyond a 15m range due to Bluetooth limitations and privacy concerns.
