Connecting MFI and Bluetooth at the same time

I have a hearing aid, which connects via Bluetooth, and a Choclear Implant that connects via MFI hearing devices. I was wondering if there’s any way to connect them both at the same time and stream audio at the same time also on iPhone.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Cochlear Implant N8 and GN Resound HA Bluetooth Pairing with Macbook I recently paired my Cochlear Implant Nucleus8 and GN Resound Hearing Aid with my new Iphone. I previously just used a fm streamer attachment to my Android phone, and this allowed bluetooth streaming, however with the iphone i do not need the extra attachment I was wondering if my hearing devices can also be directly paired to apple macbook laptops. With out the need for an extra bit of auditory equipment (fm streamer). Just like wireless headphones. Now i use a Dell laptop, and i require that extra piece of equipment to allow a bluetooth stream. However was wondering if I upgrade my laptop to an Apple Macbook, can i get direct streaming to hearing devices without the need of the FM streamer Thoughts?

MFI - Pairing Cochlear Nucleus 8 & Resound E Q hearing devices to MFI on iPhone 15 Plus...iOS 17.5.1 Pairing Cochlear Nucleus 8 & Resound E Q (DWT EQ 598) hearing devices, Open the MFI - turn on both aids at the same time or independently - they will alternate for pairing. - paired - BUT they will not pair together -GO 3 clicks on the side button - Hearing devices - MFI - only (L) one will show up. In order to get the (R) to show, I have to switch the aid off then on, that will knock out the (L) to install the (R) in the MFI and the App’s. Yes I use ( FORGET this device ) in order to get a pairing if need be. I then have to reset the App’s for which ever one that isn’t in the MFI in order to use the TV Streamer or Micro-Multi Mike.. Sometime Resound Smart 3D will not recognise the aid even though it say it does. When the aids are inserted first thing, morning, the Resound will show connected, But I will have to pair the Nucleus 8 or vice versa YES - the Bluetooth is off on my iPad. Phone calls will come to both (L) & (R) even when the App’s are not connected correctly. that a blessing. No problem with my iPhone XR. Photo how it should be Photo How it is. I can only get 1 of 2 Device to stay paired instead of 2 Any input would be much appreciated.

The iPhone's Bluetooth functionality allows you to connect multiple devices simultaneously, but streaming audio to two different Bluetooth audio devices simultaneously might not be supported directly by iOS due to technical limitations.

For specific and detailed guidance on how to potentially set this up, I'd recommend reaching out to the support teams of your hearing aid and cochlear implant manufacturers. They might have insights or solutions that could help you stream audio to both devices simultaneously or suggest compatible accessories or apps to achieve this.
