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

Just got an iPhone 12 and am also having hearing aid issues. Connection is not an issue but the right one has a lot of interference on phone calls, enough that I have to remove it when on the phone. Left is OK. I have Oticon miniRite and did not have an issue with my iPhone 8. Had not upgraded to iOS 14 on the 8 so don't know if it is a phone issue or iOS issue.

I am not hopeful that even 14.5 is going to help...I have been waiting for a long time and have upgraded three times to the iOS versions that Apple says will "fix" the problem...

Hi there. Slight problem, I have registered, downloaded profile but it says my software is up to date (14.4). No 14.5 Beta available?

You have to download the developer profile not the public profile

I have the iPhone 12 Max and have had no issues with them pairing with my Signia hearing aids by Sivantos. Just in case it’s helpful :)

I don't seem to get the option, just a circular reference that goes nowhere. The iOS 14 Beta Software profile is currently loaded.

If you download the beta developer profile install and reboot then check for software updates it will take you to IOS 14.5 install it fixed both my phones
