1. A system comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
determine that an audio streaming session is to be initiated in which an audio signal is streamed to a hearing device;
provide, based on the determining that the audio streaming session is to be initiated, an option for a user to select an ambient sound attenuation setting for use by the hearing device during the audio streaming session;
detect a selection by the user of the option;
direct, based on the user selecting the option, the hearing device to initiate the audio streaming session and attenuate, in accordance with the ambient sound attenuation setting, ambient sound during the audio session;
provide an additional option for the user to select an additional ambient sound attenuation setting for use by the hearing device during the audio streaming session;
detect a selection by the user of the additional option; and
direct, based on the user selecting the additional option, the hearing device to attenuate the ambient sound during the audio streaming session in accordance with the additional ambient sound attenuation setting instead of the ambient sound attenuation setting.
