Live Listen simply turns your iPhone into a “discreet microphone” that uses Bluetooth to send sound directly from the source to an MFi-certified hearing aid or directly to your AirPods. There are really many usage functions, so let's take a look at how to activate Live Listening.

In case you own AirPody, the procedure is a little different. First, you need to add the option to the control center Hearing. We do this simply by going to Settings -> Control Center -> Customize Controls. Here we then go down below and with the help of a plus we will add an option Hearing to the control center. If you want to activate the Live Listen feature with AirPods, just use the gesture to they opened the control center, tapped the icon crib and here they activated or deactivated the function. This shortcut can of course also be used for other hearing aids with MFi certification, not only for AirPods.
