Claimer101, your experience with the phone is very similar to mine. I got the new iPhone SE and there is a setting which routes calls directly to the aids. The phone rings and you say hello, no buttons to push, just talk. It is great in the car, no need to touch anything. You have to be diplomatic if you are in a conversation when the call comes in because the call proceeds unless you abort it. I can live with that. I haven’t enjoyed so much music in a long time. I find the sound very good. Because I have the frequency shift pop vocals are a bit odd with the lisping singers but classical and even opera seem very natural. After the initial set up I have had no connection problems. We’ll see how this goes.

A Costco fitter told me this is now available to most hearing aids if the wearer is using an iPhone. That’s terrific.

I don’t want auto-answer though. Surely there’s a way to change that setting. Or I just get used to declining the call to stop the ringing.

Looks like you’re very close to getting your connection problem resolved. Some very helpful folks on this forum!!

This morning when I took my aids out of the charger I tried one last pairing before calling my audiologist and it made the connection! Practice makes perfect? Maybe the 20th try?

Phonak is not Made For iPhone so that won’t work.

You have to pair Phonak via Bluetooth section only.

Yeah it won’t work via Accessibility option if they are Phonaks. Didn’t read the OP properly!

Last week Phonak updated their app on iPhone and the connection worked first time flawlessly. What a relief. The connection which I had managed previously was ok for the phone calls but not connecting for music. Yesterday I got notice that an update was available for iPhone. Think I’ll pass on that one for a while!

The update is a very minor security update I did it without even having any issue with my aids.

Chuck is correct. Easy-peasy.

This update fixes two security vulnerabilities which could allow execution of code on your device without your permission or awareness.

I read an article today about that security fix update but the only notification on my iPhone is for iOS 16.1.2 and its description says nothing about security fixes, just new features. I only recently got an iPhone (to work with new hearing aids), so didn’t want to download this update and chance screwing up my hearing aid connection. But now I see the update I’ve been sent isn’t even the security patch. Would I only receive that notice if I’d installed 16.1.2 or how does this work with iPhone?

Thanks @cvkemp @WhiteHat and @andreanboea for letting us know the install was smooth. That’s what made me decide to download it, but then saw the notification I have is different.

@cleimer101

Different parts of the world, get the updates at different times.

My iPhone still shows iOS 16.1.1 as being the latest but I’m in the UK.

I upgraded to 16.1.2 just this morning. There are security patches in the update notification, but Apple never delineates what they are in the notice. No idea on how it will impact anyone’s HAs. My HAs are on the fritz. My BT master started restarting, and is being sent back to the mother ship. Maybe I’ll have them back in a week and a half.

Mine started giving me problems yesterday too–right one is periodically shutting down (becoming an ear plug) or its volume drops to barely audible (no volume change on the app or buttons). Anybody got ideas why other than everything I’ve tried already: cleaning receiver, moving mold around in my ear to make sure vent isn’t blocked, visually checking for loose wire; re-pairing the aids’ connection. Trying to keep from having to send them back to the shop, if possible. Although they’re so new I’m surprised this is happening. So anyway, not updating any iPhone stuff until this gets straightened out. One thing at a time! :slight_smile:

Does it come back? Mine was resetting itself and coming back. But it would refuse bt streams. And being the bt master that made life difficult. It would drop tv connector or roger streams and I could hear with my bad ear, but not the good. Then it would pop back on. Watching it in the app, it would disconnect and go into connecting over and over.

It doesn’t seem to be dropping the connection. It’s doing what my 10 year old Oticon’s did when the receiver wire broke–which I couldn’t see but the audiologist could tell when she tested them. Given that, I’m suspecting that’s what’s happening with these new aids, but want to check for other possibilities on this forum.

#47

Had something close to that a month or so ago, replacing the wax filter fixed it for me.

Upgraded to 16.1.2 today. Resound aids. The iphone 3 click app worked. Resound Smart app didn’t.

Unpaired the aids
removed the app
turned off BT
powered off the iphone.
Reversed above.
All OK.

Bingo! Something I forgot to try that turned out to be the solution. Thank you!!

This forum is invaluable!

It does depend on the iphone I think. I updated my iPhone 12 Pro to IOS 16.1.2 yesterday and the Resound 3D app worked just as usual with my Resound Ones before and afterwards.
