Hi Blueboy-162

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.


Re: IS THIS A SOFTWARE GLITCH WITH THE PHONE?


Seems iPhone 6s can not install the most recent iOS version iOS 16 to keep everything up-to-date, and the Hearing Aids firmware compatible.


iPhone 6s is still listed as compatible with Made for iPhone Hearing Aids.

You might want to check whether your particular hearing aids are listed:

Made for iPhone compatible hearing devices - Apple Support.


If needed:

Apple has an Accessibility Support Website:

All the best :-)
