Android’s latest accessibility updates finally bring Fast Pair to Bluetooth LE Audio-enabled hearing aids, turning what used to be a chore into a single-tap connection.
The update is first coming to Demant hearing aids, and Starkey will be supported in early 2026. Once you pair your device, you get the same fast setup as with Fast Pair earbuds: Just tap once to connect. Android Authority uncovered this feature earlier this year, and it’s nice to finally see it going live for users. For people who use hearing aids all day, this removes a barrier that shouldn’t have existed in the first place.
Android’s new accessibility updates feel more like a change in approach than just a list of new features. And with more Gemini-powered upgrades coming soon, this is clearly just the start.
