Abstract
A computing device can detect an event associated with an alert sound, and responsive to detecting the event, identify the alert sound associated with the detected event. The alert sound includes one or more control tones that are configured to communicate occurrence of the event to a hearing aid device within audio range of the computing device. The computing device outputs the alert sound via a speaker of the computing device, such that a hearing aid device can detect the one or more control tones and, in response, the hearing aid device can generate and output an audible indication associated with the detected one or more control tones.
