You can always turn off keyboard clicks in Settings -> Sounds.

I really love my Apple Watch, I am a hiker, and I do a lot of walking so I love the activity apps. It was suggested to my by my doctor for the hard fall monitor and the ECG, and heart rate checking.

I like the notifications well enough but 14 Beta has other quirks I don’t like.
Removing it for now, I can wait for actual release.
Should be in September.
Did they include the feature that allows the Apple Pro ear buds to use the microphone of the I phone like an assistive listening device.
I think so but I don’t have the wireless ear buds.
The mic worked with the HAs, (Oticon OPN S)

I just found this out for the MultiTimer app. With the System Sounds turned on in Accessibility on my iPhone in iOS 14.2, a timer started on my iPhone will ring in my HA’s. But if I start the same timer on the watch, I get a much fainter, easier to overlook ding-ding on the watch. 
What I’d like even more, since the timers can be named, would be if the ding-ding could be in my ears and the app would also announce the name of the timer that went off. I’ll try the developer.
Edit_Update: I did find an (impractical) way to get watch notifications sent to the iPhone (and thus to my HA’s). If you turn off Wrist Detection, then when the MultiTimer goes off on the watch, the notification goes to the phone and sounds in my HA’s. But when you turn off Wrist Detection, one disables a whole bunch of other useful functions, including activity tracking and heart monitoring, fall detection, etc. Source of idea: iOS: Fixing iPhone No Notifications Sound When Locked - miapple.me.
I’m running iOS 14.7.1 on an iPhone 11. In the last few days, I’ve lost my text alerts to my hearing aids., Resound Quattros, running 1.0.45. Looking back over this thread, I’ve got everything turned on that I can see should be on.
Has this happened to others? Any suggestions for a fix would be welcome because, at first, I didn’t like getting the text alerts but now I’ve gotten to rely on them quite a bit.

You might describe what “I’ve got everything turned on that I can see should be on” in more detail. Otherwise, anyone who wants to help is guessing at what settings to suggest for you.
I find on Accessibility, Hearing Devices, Audio Routing, that I get the best results on things going to my HA’s if I pick “Always Hearing Devices” for Call Audio and Media Audio. Otherwise, lots of times when I go to start the iPhone (Apple) Podcast app and my settings are Automatic, the stupid iPhone with iOS 14.7.1 may try to start playing my podcast through the phone speakers rather than my HA’s. So if you have Automatic for these routing settings, as long as you’re pretty sure that you’re going to be wearing your HA’s, try changing the Call Audio at least to Always Hearing Devices. You could have a friend text you as you try different settings.
Thanks, Jim.
In “Notifications,” in “Messages,” I have a “sound” selected, and all 3 “alerts” are checked (“lock screen, notification, banners,” as well as “allow notifications.” In “accessibility,” “hearing devices,” “audio routing,” I’ve had “automatic” selected (forever). I will test changing it to “always hearing devices” but I do often have my aids out early morning and late at night so that could be a different kind of problem. On the “hearing devices” screen I have all these buttons on: “play ringtones, play sound systems, control nearby devices, audio handoff and control on lock screen.” I have “hearing aid compatibility” off. I’ll test it in a few hours and edit this post if changing to “always hearing devices” allowed me to get text alerts to my aids.
Edited to add that changing to “always hearing devices” makes no difference to text or phone rings. Phone rings still come to my aids but text alerts don’t.
Did you try restarting your iPhone? Doing that often fixes an unexplained problem that has appeared unexpectedly.
Thanks, David. Yep, I tried turning my phone off and on. No change.
And, as I edited my reply to Jim, changing the setting in audio routing to “always hearing devices” didn’t fix this either.
I’m thinking about unpairing and repairing the aids. But I REALLY hate to do that…I’ve only done it a very few times in 3 years and I always feel like everything will go awry with that. Sigh.
The only notification I want going to my hearing aids is when the phone calls come in and I want to hear who is calling me before I answer the call. The rest I don’t care about. Messages I can see from my watch, and my watch is also my alarm clock.
When I say turn the phone off, I don’t mean just press the button so the screen goes off, I mean actually turn the phone off. It’s probably worth trying a forced restart. You don’t lose any data or settings or anything by doing that and if only takes about one minute to do.
From Google for an iPhone 11 you do it like this.
Force restart iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, or iPhone 12. Press and quickly release the volume up button , press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
Regarding unpairing and repairing your hearing aids, I don’t think that it would help at all but anyway it’s nothing to be frightened of doing.

Yep. I did a full honest to goodness turn off the phone completely and restart.
Oh, I know I should be brave about the pairing. I once had trouble re-pairing one of them and it was kind of a pain in the butt. I will try it soon though. Especially since this doesn’t seem to be a problem others have.
Thanks for your help.
Well good luck and do let us know how you get on!
I think it’s good to do the pairing when you are well away from other Bluetooth or WiFi transmitters because that gives the hearing aids and the phone the best chance of pairing successfully quickly. So not sitting next to your WiFi router for example!

Something that I just noticed. If you change the Sound in Settings, Messages (the same setting also appears under Settings, Sounds), say from Note (the Default) to Aurora or whatever, you should hear your new sound choice played to your HA’s if everything is hooked up and working properly. If you want to continue fiddling with settings, this should be a convenient way of testing whether the hookup to your HA’s is working without having to have someone text you to test the sound settings for your HA’s.
If you set something else like an alarm or timer, you could also check if the alert goes to your HA’s. The timer in the iPhone Clock app works quite nicely for me. I set it on a 3-second countdown. That’s presumably Media Audio in the Audio Routing accessibility settings. Did you try putting that on “Always Hearing Devices,” too?
If the Audio Routing setting “Always Hearing Devices” did the trick, you could always create a SHORTCUT app to automate the process of turning on “Always Hearing Devices” vs. “Automatic” or “Never Hearing Devices” when you’re not wearing your hearing aids. I’ll have to refresh myself on how to create such a Shortcut, if possible, and post it in the Apple Shortcut thread that I created here awhile back: Apple Shortcuts in iOS 14 Are a Very Powerful IFTTT-Like Feature That Could Be Used To Control Hearing Aids. If I can do it, I’ll update this thread here with a link to that post with an Audio Routing Apple Shortcut.
When I change the tone on the text alert, I do hear the tones in my aids. But it still doesn’t come through the aids when someone sends me a text.
When I set the alarm, with both call audio and media audio under “audio routing” set to “always hearing devices” the alarm only sounds in the phone, not in my aids. So, that’s another thing that’s changed. Because I use the alarm fairly regularly. Changing these both back to “automatic,” the alarm still doesn’t sound in my aids. Drat. The plot thickens.
Just to be sure, I also checked that the bluetooth is off on my iPad. (But I don’t have a phone to my iPad, anyway).
I have MFi Hearing Devices “on” in the accessibility shortcut menu. Which is weird because (or so I thought) I had that off. But, anyway, on or off, I’m still not getting the audio text alerts or hearing the alarm in my aids.
Another thing that coincidentally (I think) went bonkers, is that I found out that my voicemail was kicking in after the first ring. I always had it set to five rings. On that, I had to call Verizon to get them to change it back to five rings. Which they did. But I don’t think that can possibly have anything to do with the price of potatoes on my text alert (and now alarm) issue. Except that the phone gods are being very unkind to me.
