Here is what I heard back from Resound. Let me know if any of this helps you.


Good day Lawrence,

Thank you for contacting ReSound.

 

I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your new phone. Apple has just released the new iPhone 12 so we can now begin testing for compatibility with ReSound hearing aids as well as our apps. As the iPhone 12 is a newer device and not yet officially compatible, I do not have a lot to go on yet.

 

You can try a reset of your network settings as this can improve and often resolve many connectivity and streaming issues. If this does not alleviate the issue, I encourage you to contact Apple Accessibility at 877-204-3930

 

Here are the steps to reset network settings:

 

Please note: Resetting the network settings may cause the mobile device to forget saved Wi-Fi passwords. * No content or data will be lost.

 

  

  • On the phone, go to Settings - Accessibility – Hearing devices
  • Tap on the name/model of hearing aids - tap "forget this device" on the bottom of the next screen and confirm by taping "forget" again 
  • Open the hearing aid battery doors. If the hearing aids are rechargeable, place them in the charger now 
  • Tap Accessibility in the upper left corner – tap Settings in the upper left corner – General - Reset - Reset Network Settings. You will be prompted for the pass code if the phone is pass code protected. Confirm that you would like to reset network settings by clicking on the red writing in the pop-up box. The mobile device will now reset and restart.

 

  • Once the mobile device has restarted go to: Settings – Accessibility - Hearing Devices
  • Close the hearing aid battery doors or remove them from the charger 
  • Tap on the name/GN/model of hearing aids when they appear
  • Accept all pairing requests

 

If you take advantage of one of the ReSound apps, you will need to completely close the app out by swiping it away and then relaunch it to allow it to import the information from the fresh pairing.

I just purchased the 12 Pro Max, left Resound HA keeps dropping out. Although, it only happens when the phone is within 4-5 feet of my HA’s. If I leave it on my desk and walk away it stays connected with no issues. I realize this is not good for phone calls, but when streaming music I can set the phone on a shelf about 6-10 feet away and it works great. It made me wonder if it was something like the iPhone 5’s when the antenna was along the bezel and caused signal issues. Hoping they get it fixed, without it, I can’t take phone calls.

Same story all over.. We were too quick with the iPhone12. The app developers need to catchup, and it is not unusual that there are bugs.. unfortunately were too comfortable and who knew just because it was a new piece of hardware the iOS which had been fine would be negatively impacted. So... we wait I guess.

I purchased a new Iphone 12 pro. I was able to transfer all my apps, including Resound Smart 3D. My problem is the phone will not pair to the hearing aids, it can't find them. The phone I had 7S worked fine but now the hearing aides will not work with the Iphone 12. Now I can't hear the phone ring, nor the persons voice if I answer. Not good please fix this Bluetooth problem soon.

The last week I have had to disconnect my device on my car with my iPhone 12. Within 5mins of driving it would constantly drop from car to speaker to phone.

Then I used my ear pods and it did the same again. I deleted device reconnected it didn’t make a difference. Tried turning my phone off and that didn’t make a difference either. iPhone 12 must have issues with connection with Bluetooth.

Does anyone else experience the same or similar?
