Several with hearing aids since iOS 11 upgrade...

I have ReSound Lynx3D Hearing aids and I also am having many issues. I get the dropping out for a few seconds and then re-connecting issue in both hearing aids. It is usually preceded by significant distortion then gone... I also get a fair amount of digital distortion when listening to music on my iPhone. The distortion is not consistent though. I’m not sure if it increases when my phone is trying to communicate with other things (like WiFi or cell towers) as neither of this happens all the time either. I can tell that when I’m not around a lot of other people (driving on a quiet road with no other cars), it happens a lot less.

Does anyone else hear a funny digital static/clicking between tracks (does anyone call them that anymore) when listening to music? It is like a faint little stream of clicks.

Apple Please Fix This!!!!

I have the same hearing aids and the same problem. I called Apple about it and they told me they have no knowledge about this problem and suggested I contact ReSound about firmware upgrade. Clearly it is an Apple issue as the hearing aids worked fine before the ios upgrade.

Apple... please fix this.

I have this issue with Kirkland 7's (Resound - Costco branding). Just as others have expressed, Bluetooth pops, cracks, drops, fails to connect, takes forever to connect, etc. Driving me crazy. Whole reason I went with these aids was iPhone connectivity - which now is awful. PLEASE FIX APPLE.

I have just returned my Widex HAids to my audiologist as they were cutting out one side or another when streaming through Bluetooth on an Apple Iphone 6+. Also, when I used them in my car, my Iphone connects to the in-car audio system (FORD Sync) and when a call comes in there is the proverbial "standoff" where the car audio gets locked into the HAids so that I cannot use the radio, even though I have terminated the phone call. To clear this I have to stop, switch off the ignition then restart my car so that the Iphone can re-sync with my audio system. Obviously this is not a desirable situation in a hands free state or when you are in busy traffic.

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing these kinds of issues?

I am having problems which I have tied directly to the Apple Watch. Though it does not load paring, I get a loud clicking noise which stops when I turn off the watch. It is worse since the last update. Since Apple refuses to address these issues and insists on blaming the HA manufacturers, I think it may be time to pursue a class action against them based possibly on ADA.

I have a similar issue with brand new Starkey halo iq2400 hearing aids on iPhone 8 When it connects to my cars bluetooth . I have the audio routing for the MFI set to never hearing aids. As I’m driving I hear ‘surf rushing’ sound and it fades in out. Had the hearing aids replaced with same issue. Apple please give the hearing challenged a break and fix the bloody iOS!!

I have the same problem. This started with iOS 11. Apple caused this problem in their iOS upgrade - iit is not Resound’s problem. Apple, please do the right thing and fix this!

Starlet has a firmware upgrade.

My audi is prepared to try latest firmware on my Resound Linx2. Lets see if there's an improvement.... :/

I'm having similar issues as reported with my new hearing aids, they are ReSound Link 3D. Sound is often streaming to only one ear even though both show as "on" in the app. Can't answer a call on my car's bluetooth, have to pick it up with my phone!!! That's pretty bad. No easy way to silence the ringer, like when you want to quickly turn off the phone in a movie theater or while in a meeting, etc. Must go through lots of clicks on Settings. Random switching of streaming to one ear, then suddenly to both, then off again, then on again.

Unacceptable! Cannot use the aids with these kinds of problems. And can barely hear without them :-(

APPLE fix these issues !!!!

Same hearing aids (VA). And same issues. Notice it most on incoming phone calls. Miss half of them trying to get a Bluetooth connection. Or, one ear, then both back and forth. Never had issues before 11.

Is the implication that MFI hearing aids are BT v4.x and that they have issues with BT 5 iPhones? So is that an issue in which BT 5 is implemented on iphone or is it the Made For IPhone really isn’t? Then what is the answer? My Starkey Halo’s are 4 weeks old!

I have had a similar issue. My hearing aids will not connect to bluetooth after the IOS 11 upgrade.

I am having the same issues. Bad enough that my hearing aids aren't useful right now. Unfortunately Apple isn't acknowledging my issue. Hope Widex can resolve the issue soon.

Still having problems with the ios upgrade, even with the latest one on Tuesday Oct 30. I gaveup on Widex and now hae Halo iQ. Still losing connection. Grrr.
