Abstract: The invention relates to an audio assist system, comprising a hearing aid, an external handheld device and an audio system comprising a Bluetooth audio transmitter, wherein the hearing aid comprises a Bluetooth receiver. The hearing aid and the external handheld device are temporarily connected via a wireless data link, and both the audio system and the external handheld device each comprise an infrared receiver and/or transmitter for establishing an at least unidirectional IR link between the external handheld device and the audio system. The external handheld device is adapted to transmit an automatic Bluetooth pairing trigger signal to the hearing aid via the wireless data link, when the external handheld device receives and/or transmits an IR signal via the IR link from or to the audio system, respectively, and the hearing aid is configured to perform Bluetooth pairing with the Bluetooth audio transmitter in response to receiving the automatic Bluetooth pairing trigger signal from said external handheld device.
