iOS 16.5 Update, Hearing aid connectivity issues

My Signia hearing aids model are the same as above and worked fine until Apple updated IOS. Three days ago my Well Being option disappeared. I had to delete and download my Signia App. It 16.5.1. The Well Being option appeared and seamed to work properly. Then I noticed that the Wear Time timer was flakey. Once it stopped at 3 min. Next time 34 min. It never incremented for the next 12 hrs. Occasionally the fitness portion added as activities occurred. Then it would not add activities anymore. It would not change any settings after 34 min. I did all of the recommendations that were give in this thread. My Bluetooth was never an issue. Only activity data and wear time were messed. Any suggestions?

This is the best solution to the hearing aid connectivity problem.

Turn off Bluetooth.

Go to Privacy and Security.

Disable hearing aids from Bluetooth.

shut off phone for one minute.

Restart phone.

turn on Bluetooth.

Go to Privacy and Security.

Enable hearing aids Bluetooth.

Problem fixed, with help from Apple support! They had me do the following: 1. Forget hearing aid device from the Setup > Accessibility > Hearing Device screen, then 2. Delete the Widex Evoke hearing aid app (from Widex, in my case). 3. Re-install the Widex Evoke hearing aid application from the App Store, then finally 4 Pair the hearing aids again with the phone. And magically, its working perfectly now, always staying connected when the hearing aids are ON.

My hearing aids lose connection after a few minutes since the last update (17.0.3). I’ve tried all the posted fixes and nothing works. I have Philips hearing aids that are about 2 years old. Any solutions coming?

I was able to fix this by uninstalling then reinstalling the Widex Evoke hearing aid application! must do all the interim steps as well… I loaded the latest IOS update, then first unpair hearing aids from phone, delete the app, reinstall the app from Apple store, then re-pair hearing aids and now everything is back to normal!

Same here with my Audibel hearing aids. Neither Trulink nor Thrive will connect. They did connect with the Samsung s10e I just turned in. My iPhone 15 Pro is supposedly capable of streaming audio to the hearing aids.

Bless you and thank you so much. I have put in many hours and spent so much time trying to figure out how. to get Siri to respond to my voice with my new Oticon hearing aids to no avail. FINALLY with your solution it is now working!! I have an iPhone SE 3rd Gen and iOS 16.7.

Thank you again!

I probably made the mistake of downloading the newest version 16.5 to both my I-phone and I-pad before disabling both devices . So now I am unable to re-connect. Is there something I should do to be able to change and connect again?

Thank you for this advice. I'm on an iPhone 14Pro, running ios 17+. I had to go through these steps several times, but eventually and after a good deal of bad language, the hearing aids paired with Bluetooth on my iPhone. Hopefully, this is a lasting fix. In the meantime, thanks!

This sequence worked for me: in Settings, turn off wifi. Also in Settings > Privacy Security > Bluetooth > turn off all bluetooth devices except the hearing aids. Then I opened the hearing aid app (ReSound in my case) to search for the hearing aids. Success! Seems like turning off the other possibly interfering bluetooth signals made it easier for the hearing aids to be “found” . After re-connecting, i then could turn on my other Bluetooth signals. Thanks to all who offered suggestions, which helped me solve the bluetooth problem. What a relief!
