Managing paired devices
To listen to the sound coming from EduMic, your hearing aids should be switched to their EduMic program. This can happen automatically or manually.
Automatic hearing aid program change
EduMic can store up to 10 sets of hearing aids. When the EduMic begins actively sending sound, these sets of hearing aids will automatically change to their EduMic program and receive sound from the EduMic if they are within 20 metres.
If you mute EduMic, these hearing aids will automatically switch back to an ordinary listening program.
Manual hearing aid program change
When more than 10 sets of hearing aids are paired with EduMic, some of the hearing aids will need to be manually changed to their EduMic program.

How to clear pairings from EduMic
You can make EduMic forget all of the hearing aids it is paired with.
This is useful when the pairings are no longer needed. Once cleared, the first 10 hearing aids that are paired will enjoy access to the automatic hearing aid program change functionality.
To clear pairings
Ensure EduMic is turned on.
Press and hold down the button for 12 seconds until the status indicator turn red. All pairings with hearing aids are now cleared from EduMic.
