In this video, we explain how to pair your Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids with your Fire TV streaming media player for a private listening experience.Note that select hearing aids are currently supported with more to come.For an optimal experience, you should be connected to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network.

To set it up, go to the *Main Menu* bar. Go to *Settings* and navigate to *Accessibility*. Scroll down the list and select *Audio Description* and then toggle *“Prime Video– On/Off.”* Note that Audio Description is also available on a growing set of services such as Netflix and Disney+.
