iPhone 12 w/ iOS 14.1 poor hearing aid connectivity

No it’s not and issue after 14.2 update and we’ve now onto 14.3 update and still no issues ....folks update your phone

Did you upgrade to latest version? Seemed to help others, I returned my phone, I had Phonak too

If your on the beta software the 14.5 update fixes the problem did for me

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 have the new Resound One 9 hearing aids with new iPhone 12 Pro and ios 14.2. The static occurs occasionally when using the iPhone, as well as the TV Streamer or MultiMic, which are activated via the iPhone. It goes back and forth between right and left ears and is very loud and horrible.

This issue seems to be running across more than one brand of hearing aids so is likely an iPhone and or ios issue.

I have Oticon and Phonak

the phonak are new on trial

got iPhone 12 pro

static w both hearing aides

I’m thinking it’s the extra battery in it for the mag charging

do I return? 🤔

returning the phonak

I have the same issue with the iPhone 12 Pro (just upgraded ? from 8 plus) and Oticon Open. Spoke with tech support at Apple. He stated that he had not heard of this problem before. I referred him to this website since others were experiencing the same problem across many hearing aid brands. We tried resetting the network and updating to 14.2 (from 14.1). No change. His final solution was that I bring in this brand new phone to Best Buy and have them see if there was a problem with the phone. Is this the best that Apple can do?

Yes I spoke with the Accessibility Dept. I was told they are aware of the problem but couldn’t give me a timeline! I have only a few days to return my iPhone 12 and will have to pay a restock fee! I don’t want to do that but I also don’t want to wait months for a fix! Hopefully it will be soon! A lot of people have this problem so it should be a priority!

I’m having the same problem, loud static in one hearing aid but it’s intermittent. It’ll fluctuate from left to right. When “Play System Sounds” is turned on I’ll get static every time a text comes through.

I called Apple several days ago, reported the problem, and they sent a new replacement. Same problem :(

I had a iPhone XR, never had a issue, tried my wife’s iPhone 11, no problem. It’s definitely a problem with the iPhone 12.

I'm curious what Apple will do to correct the problem.

Tim,

I've been having the same issues with my Signa hearing aides and IOS14.2. The right one is a total wash when the phone rings. I visited my Audiologist yesterday and she did install the latest firmware but that didn't do anything for the streaming from my iPhone. What I do know is Apple has released IOS14.3 on their Beta users site and I'm downloading it now. I'll let you know if it helps.

iPhone 11 PLUS

IOS 14.2

I have 14.3 on my iPhone 12 mini and my iPhone 7. I get static on both. I also had my hearing aids switch back and forth on the 7.

I really want to get an iPhone 12 Max but can’t justify having a device that does not support accessibility.

Spent over 45 minutes with Apple I have an appointment tomorrow with my audiologist. This is an Apple problem not a hearing aide issue.

Same here, after turning off system sounds it appeared to be working but the static has returned however far less frequently on my Oticon Mini’s.
