How can I get sound notifications on earbuds AND phone.

I mostly use my bluetooth earbuds for audiobooks and podcasts. Then I take them out. The problem is then don't hear the ring for incoming calls, or text messages. Is there a ways to make sound notifications ALWAYS come out of the phone, or both the phone and earbuds? I've searched online and found nothing about this issue. I find it hard to believe I'm the only one!

iPhone 5, iOS 10

No, you can't do what you want.


You can let Apple know it's something you'd like to see here:

Meanwhile, turn the headsets of when you're not using them. It will also help save the headphone battery life.
