Hearing Aid Switching Between Apple Devices Greets: I have a pair of Philips hearing aids that support Bluetooth 4.2. I have been using them with my iPhone regularly for audiobooks and podcasts. I'd like to use them with my iPad Pro, and I know that they can be paired. But I only need to use one device at a time with the hearing aids. My understanding is that with Bluetooth 4.2, there can be switching issues with devices. To that end, I'd like to find out the easiest way to turn off Bluetooth hearing aid access for one device so that it can work on the other when they are near each other. I don't wish to unpair, and I don't want to have to go into Accessibility on device every time I want to just disconnect (and then reconnect) rather than "Forget" (which I definitely do not want). I was hoping that one of the Accessibility Shorcuts options allow for simple disconnect and connect, but it does not appear that this is the case. I'd appreciate any info that would help; thank you!

Hello c0c0C,

Not necessarily, you may want to contact the manufacturer of your hearing aids to determine if they can adjust the settings for one connection to take priority.

Hoping this helps out.

Take care.
