Persistent hearing aid connection notification appears after iOS 27 update

Since the update to iOS 27 and 27.0.1, I keep getting a notification that my hearing aids (in their case) are connected. It doesn't look like a normal notification. It's in the area of the dynamic island but not contained within it when the phone is vertical; when horizontal it's off to the side. I've turned off all related notifications and keep getting it randomly. It comes and goes so quickly I haven't been able to get a screen shot. It's very disruptive and would like to know how to get rid of it. Unpairing and starting over doesn't seem to do it.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 27

I find after major software updates/upgrades, I often have to re-pair my GN Resound Vivia MFi Hearing Aids with the phone.

But after the iOS27 upgrade, a new version of the Hearing Aid Utility, Smart-3D, was pushed to my phone. This time it required a complex, multi-step re-pairing process. The phone software saw them fine, but the new version of the Utility demanded that complex, multi-stage re-pairing.
