Bluetooth connection issues Oticon hearing aids

i recently upgraded my iPhone to iOS 16.4 and my Oticon hearing aids won’t stay connected to my phone. I went to my audiologist and had my hearing aid firmware updated so it’s not that.

My mom is getting very upset trying to use her new Oticon hearing aids. Like the rest of the people who have posted, one hearing aid is not connecting correctly. She is older and not use to technology. The Bluetooth is supposed make things easier. However if you have to reset daily the connection it is not. Apple & Oticon need to fix this problem. It is March 2024, when older model were working fine for other people what did the company mess around with the program. Seniors are not tech savvy. Her kids just wanted mom to hear better not be upset. I am asking the parties involved to do the right thing. Correct this software issue. Words from concerned daughter.

Joe - this seems to be an ongoing issue between iOS and oticon. I’m “elderly” (if over 80 makes you so) and very dependent upon my hearing aids to listen to podcasts, Audible, and news via my iPhone.


I consider myself pretty tech savvy as a retired engineer and can usually intuit my way thru software setup and electromechanical systems but this lack of compatibility between Oticon and iPhone really has me stumped as well.


The Oticon hearing aids tend to hop around without an apparent destination- I can be listening on my iPhone - loose the audio and then find that the Oticons have paired with my iPad without reason leaving me unable to re-pair with my iPhone which what I use to listen to my audio sources.


Elderly - or not - very frustrating indeed.


iOS and Oticon need to stop pointing fingers, get in a room and resolve these issues which have been ongoing for years now.
