iPhone 12 w/ iOS 14.1 poor hearing aid connectivity

Ever since upgrading from my iPhone 11 Max to my iPhone 12 Max, my ReSound LiNX Quattro hearing aids are having connection and quality issues. I'm experiencing a lot of static and in general a touchy connection where one or both ears will cut sound. Often times just turning my head sometimes cuts out sound from one ear. It seems the iPhone needs to be VERY close to work as well, the distance (like laying on my desk) causes increased static and stability issues. Anyone else having a similar issue?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Updating from my last post, and agreeing with above poster, issue is 98% gone, I still get a disconnection in one ear about once a day rather than once every 10 minutes now

Good deal! IOS 14.2.1 does appear to fix the hearing aid static problem with Bluetooth on my iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Apple released IOS 14.2.1 yesterday. Has your wife installed this update?

It is fixed. Just install the latest iPhone software, 14.2.1

Cheers,

Yeah I've been running 14.3 beta for about a week and just had my first instance of static since the upgrade :-( I'll re-report it to Apple.

Yes, just update your iPhone to latest version

It is just not the iPhone 12. I've been having issues with static on my iPhone 11 after upgrading to iOS 14. Hoping iOS 14.3 would have resolved. Nope!

I see there's an iOS 14.4 beta out - has anyone tried that to see if it fixes the problem finally?
