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 spoke to Apple techs and here's what worked for me:

Under Notifications, there are two places to turn off hearing aid notifications

Hearing Aids

Smart3D (for ReSound aids)

I turned off both, and so far it's stopped

If you don't see Hearing Aids under Notifications, you may need to upgrade to 27.2

The only thing I can do is turn Bluetooth off while hearing aids are in case and wait for an update with a fix.

I have resound too and have started getting persistent connected notifications to iphone 27.2 even when im not wearing them. Ive unpaired, forgotten them , turned off bluetooth , hard restart then repaired and still getting notifications with all resound notifications preferences turned off. Issue Did not start until 27.2 or the update before that. Annoying.

I have re-paired multiple times and still get the annoying messages. Hearing Aids Resound nx960s-drwc. Have you found a solution to reduce or eliminate the notification?

Thanks for letting us know the iOS update was out. That seems to have worked as I haven't seen it since I updated (previously, turning off notifications didn't make a difference).

I spoke too soon. After hours of not seeing it and then posting, one popped up. But at least they’re decreasing in frequency.

I don't have anything paired with the hearing aids except the iPhone (no Apple Watch).
