Several with hearing aids since iOS 11 upgrade...

Since I performed the upgrade to 11, I've had several issues with my hearing aids. I've used them with my iPhone for several years now so am aware of how they usually behave, etc.


First, one side will often cut out and go silent. Then it will reconnect. It makes listening to audio rather difficult as it cuts in and out.

Second, multiple times in a day, I will suddenly start hearing a rushing sound like surf that fades in and out, then cuts in and out to silence after several seconds. It is in both channels, and I am able to reproduce it by simply toggling Bluetooth off then back on again. I have a hunch that each time I hear it, it's because my hearing aids have lost and regained the connection to the phone.


Is anyone else having issues after the 11 upgrade?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11

Having a similar problem, difficulty pairing and then when it indicates everything is paired only receive audio in one ear. Also on my iphone 8+ it will crash the TruLink program and switch back to phone, disconnecting the hearing aids.

I have had to use the "Forget this Device" several times to get the previously paired aids to pair again. In addition I use to be able to switch from one device to another simply by turning off the BT on one and turning it on, on the other. This is no longer the case. I must "Forget the device and re-pair and hope both work or do it again. Or the settings will say that both are connected but they are not.
