iPhone 12 Pro Max Bluetooth Cutting In and Out When in Pocket! Really!

Crazy, but true. Whenever I put my iPhone in my pocket, left or right, the Bluetooth cuts out. I wear Oticon hearing aids and originally thought it was my hearing aids. They worked great until I put my phone in my pocket and then they would cut in and out. I even went back to my audiologist and they confirmed the hearing aids were working perfectly and it was a Bluetooth issue. Very bizarre. Well I just bought a pair of Air Pod Pros and the same thing happens! If my phone is a few feet away or 25 feet away, they work perfect. No issues. But when I put my phone in my pocket, they start to connect and disconnect over and over. Beyond frustrating. Makes no sense. But no matter what, they work fine until I put the phone in my pocket. I need my hearing aids and I need to be able to put my phone in my pocket! I have reset the phone, reset the Bluetooth, reset all network settings, restarted the phone several times, and “forgot” my hearing aids and airpod pros and reconnected them, but the same thing happens over and over. I also took off my Apple Watch 5 and disconnected it. No change. It keeps cutting out. Please help! I am lost as to they this is happening and need a solution. Thank you!!!!
