Hearing Aids come up individually on Accessibility pairing

My hearing aids come up individually on accessibility pairing, not together as one. I am therefore only able to pair one device only. My provider is not answering me.

Am no expert in this area, yet your post to the community deserves some response.

Seems each hearing-aid may have an individual serial number ? or some other difference separating them.

Else:

Some possible solutions you might want to try:

✽ Check the Settings to make sure your hearing aids are listed correctly, and are available there, for connection.

Check: Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices controls.

✽ Turn Bluetooth off, wait a few seconds, and turn bluetooth back on.

✽ Restart iPhone to re-establish the connection. (If needed: See how to: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support )


Wondering if your Hearing Aids are a "Made for iPhone" (Mfi) compatible version.

Apple provides a list you can check (link below): They are listed by manufacturer (brand) name, and then model.

✽ You may find the best advice or support comes via the Hearing Aids manufacturer's website.

( Eg: Phonak, Oticon, Signia )

Seems many have an extensive "support" or "help" website section, or at least Q. and A. ... and will often provide contact options there. Or: There may be an app to download.


✽ Check for a possible hearing-aid firmware update, or, if you use an app, an app update.


✽ A hearing-aid manual for that model may provide assistance.


✽ Your hearing specialist may be able to help:
