I have been on the phone with 4 different Apple advisors but no one can solve this issue. With my previous phones, the phone paired within minutes. It's been over 2 hours and still searching. All advisors say my settings are correct. Does anyone know why my next step should be?

Original Title: iPhone won't pair
iPhone SE, iOS 18
Pairing with Made for iPhone (MFi) hearing devices like your cochlear implant is actually a different process than pairing regular Bluetooth headphones or speakers, which is probably why the advisors were getting tangled.
Instead of Bluetooth settings, cochlear implants pair through Accessibility settings:
So the problem wasn’t your Bluetooth—it’s that hearing devices bypass the normal Bluetooth menu.

Is whatever device you want to pair in pairing mode per the manufacturers directions to pair?
I apologize. No one on this website would understand what I'm talking about. It was actually pairing to an app that controls my cochlear implant. I don't know how to remove this question.
“Paired” to what ?
Do you mean connected to your mobile network ?
If so, did you move your nanoSIM (or provision an eSIM) ?
You cannot remove a question after it is posted. It will remain here forever.
