Hello-I’m new to the forum and also to hearing aids—getting used to Oticon More. (Please excuse me if I’m posting in the wrong place or don’t yet know particular conventions of this forum). I’m hoping for some fairly quick advice for reconnecting a misplaced hearing aid before the battery charge runs out in about 16 hours. A traumatic brain injury that makes learning things harder (and also caused my hearing loss) and affects my memory and attention, so I lose things constantly now, including my new hearing aids. I’m thrilled and relieved these have tracking with my phone, but I think I messed up by telling my iPhone to “forget” them in the process of following bits of advice online elsewhere and would greatly appreciate any help you could offer for finding it with the Find My Hearing Aids feature.
Details: Somehow the left and right units got separated inside my house this afternoon. The right one was right where I remembered leaving both, but the left one is nowhere to be found, and is stubbornly elusive after quite a long while searching now and trying ti troubleshoot online.
Using the the Find My Hearing Aid feature in the Oticon app, the left one that is misplaced was showing as “disconnected” before I told my phone to “forget” the hearing aids. The right one was and is now again showing as connected afternoon I tried repairing/reconnecting s.
In trying to troubleshoot online, I read that causing my iPhone (13) to “forget” the devices and then reconnect might help the left one reconnect, so I did that. The right one was repaired and reconnected with no trouble but so far the left one is not showing as reconnected. P
If I understand correctly I need to be within 10 meters of the misplaced unit to pair/reconnect it to Bluetooth.
Fortunately, before I told my phone to forget the devices, I took note of where the phone displayed showing the last location of the left unit before it disconnected somehow. I tried to repair/reconnect with Bluetooth within that distance range, alas, to no avail.
I’m not sure how long I need to wait for the unit to connect within that m distance range, and I can t think of what else could be causing it not to show as connected since my right unit is again reconnected and visible in the Find devices app.
Any insights or suggestion that could help me beat the ticking clock to find the currently Bluetooth-unfindable left unit would be so greatly and sincerely appreciated.
I’ll be searching in the meantime, but I think it’s misplaced extra well since I’ve scoured the places nearly where last registered in the app before t becoming disconnected.
