IOS 18 and phonak hearing aids bluetooth problem I am experiencing a problem with my iPhone with IOS 18.0 and my Phonak hearing aids. When Bluetooth pairs my Phonak hearing aids to my iPhone, during telephone calls, the Bluetooth connection starts and stops every few seconds, making hearing my telephone call very difficult. My audiologist says that Apple and Phonak are both aware of this problem. Does anyone know if Apple is going to put out a fix for this problem any time soon?

Bluetooth Hearing aid signal drops in IOS 16 The Bluetooth connection was fine until I updated to IOS 16. Now, the signal is lost between my hearing aids and my phone anytime the phone plays any other sounds. The only way to get it back is to restart my hearing aids and open settings to hearing devices before it will re connect. I keep hoping that an update will be released to address this, but so far not so much.

Since recent iPhone update Bluetooth connection to hearing aid keeps disconnecting. I wear hearing aids so being connected to iPhone and iPad via Bluetooth is important to me. I had no issue until the last update. Since then I spends hours trying to connect by following available instructions and iPhone May connect but iPad doesn’t, it keeps disconnecting so has to be done on a daily basis. have to be reconnected to Bluetooth daily. What do I need to do?
