Hi. When I linked my hearing aids to my iPad, the speaker in the iPad muted, so that people with me didn’t hear what I was listening to. Now, the speaker doesn’t mute and I can’t listen to Zoom, YouTube etc without bothering everyone with me. I don’t know what has changed, but what do I have to do to mute the iPad speaker when I’m streaming direct to me hearing aids?
iPad, iPadOS 16

Wondering if updating your iPad to the newest compatible iPad OS version may help: Eg: You could check in Settings > General > Software updates
If an update is available, it is wise to back up your iPad before updating.
If no updates are available: You could try restarting your iPad (deletes temporary files, re-establishes connections, may update recent setting changes, and often restores order if something is not working as expected)
If needed: See how to: Restart your iPad - Apple Support

"Bridge" accessories for audio streaming
Some hearing aid manufacturers offer special "bridge" hearing aid accessories that receive audio through bluetooth from the iPhone and retransmit that audio using proprietary wireless audio-streaming technologies built in to some hearing aids. Check with your audiologist or hearing aid manufacturer for more information.
