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).
