I can connect Signia hearing aids via Bluetooth but not via MFi . Have exhausted all possibilities. I saw it work when I first installed the hearing aids but now it fails on every attempt so I know the iPhone 16 and the hearing aids have the capability.
iPhone 16e, iOS 26

If you are saying that you can connect your Signia hearing aids via Bluetooth, but you cannot connect them via MFi, there may be some confusion regarding the terminology. You may actually mean Wi-Fi or MiFi, rather than MFi.
Also, connecting to Wi-Fi does not necessarily mean that you are connected to the Internet. Wi-Fi simply establishes a connection between your device and a local network or router. That network may or may not have an active Internet connection.
Similarly, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and MFi serve different purposes.
