Fix for no notification or reminder sounds on iPhone Pro Max when phone is locked? Medical Necessity.

I have been struggling with this issue since the iOS 16 update namely where my iPhone won't play any sounds associated with any reminders or alarms when my iPhone is locked. My iPhone is linked to my Apple Watch & 'mirror iPhone' is selected but any alarm or reminder I set just goes to banner notification only when my phone is sleeping/screen locked so there's no sound played, despite settings. I rely on these Alarms and Reminders being played on both watch and iPhone for my medical condition so not having them is incredibly frustrating & I'm starting to have significant negative impacts.
