iOS 16.5 Update, Hearing aid connectivity issues

Hello everyone,

I am using Signia Motion C&G P 1X hearing aids. Before the update to iOS 16.5, everything was working fine. After I have updated to 16.5, my hearing aids do not connect properly to my iPhone anymore. After some time, or after using another bluetooth device, the connection is lost. The connection can sometimes be restored by going to the accessibility hearing aid menu, upon entering the menu the connection will be restored. Sometimes (randomly) this does not work, whereas I will wait for some time and then try again. How to fix this issue?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

I solved my problems with my Signia hearing aids not staying connected after uploading IOS 16.5. The issue is with the Bluetooth connectivity. To solve any connection issues go to the Settings and turn off Bluetooth AND then go to Privacy and Security (just below) and click on that and disable Bluetooth for your hearing aids. Turn off your phone for a minute. Then re-start your phone and turn back on Bluetooth in the Settings and enable Bluetooth for your hearing aids in the Privacy and Security section. I did this and my hearing aids work perfectly and remain connected (just as before I updated to IOS 16.5).

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?

My Costco Kirkland 10 aids work fine with iOS16.5 except for the notification sounds of the Timer (clock) in the Control Center not playing via the aids. They don't play via the aids when selecting a sound or when notifications occur.


All other sounds, including ringing, text notifications,etc. play via the aids.


I experience no Bluetooth connectivity issues.
