Yes. Phonak hearing aids use Standard when connecting to the iPhone 11. Phonak does not use Bluetooth LE so it is not MFi compatible. All iPhone pairing with Phonak hearing aids is via the Bluetooth Settings.

I think my phone is an 11, and it's been working with my Phonak hearing aids since last spring. BUT, lately, it loses the connection to Phone calls a LOT, just in the past couple of weeks, even when it's working pretty well with music or other audio playback from the iPhone. This forces me to get out the phone and try to turn on the speaker on the phone (I've never been able to hold the phone up to my ear, it always touches me and takes that as an input and screws up the call one way or another) and turn it up, but in the process it may reconnect to my hearing aids and then just as I think it's okay, it loses that again, and goes back to playback as if I was holding the phone up to my ear and I have to try to figure out how to turn on the speaker again, and so on.
