I am also still having intermittent problems with Bluetooth streaming to only a single hearing aid. Turn off and then on the non streaming aid and the problem resolves. But only temporarilyā¦.
I have a question and request. If any of you have the ON app installed on the iPhone, try deleting the app and see if the connectivity issue continues.
Someone please thy this if any of you havenāt already.
I just deleted Oticon app on iPhone. Will see what happens tomorrow
Thank you I am trying to learn as much as possible, I have an appointment Friday with my audiologist, I donāt want my aids updated if there isnāt a work around for the connectivity issue.
Uninstalled the Oticon app. Called daughter only to have Bluetooth stream to the right aid (and not the left). Turned the left aid off and then on again while speaking with her and the connection was restored.
This is typical of the problems I have been having. Not sure if it is the aids themselves or iOS 16.0.2. Shot out another email to Oticon support.

Thank you, I will tell my audiologist that I donāt want my aids updated.
Had my 2nd set of replaced More aids upgraded to 1.4 yesterday, while they did stream to only the left while I had my iPhone 12 mini in my right pants pocket they did switch when I put the phone on the other side.
Not noticing any real difference, they would do that with 1.3 also.
Using a button to answer/end a phone call works well, no issues with the person on the other end hearing me.
I am more concerned with severe battery drain while streaming, it seems like they are draining faster than before but thatās a little difficult to quantify.
Iāll try to monitor that more closely for a while.

I bet on Apple coming up with a fix, hopefully in the next software update. I guess logistically is just more convenient to all parts involved. So I donāt have much hope in hearing back from Oticon.
As in ios 16.0.3, due out in days? Or 16.1 ???
WH
im already on 16.1 Beta 4 and its NOT fixedā¦

@jrmorgis: thanks, you just saved me the troubleā¦ I was about to try Beta 4 since it was released yesterday. I am gonna stick to 16.0.2 for now.
Interesting. I got a new iPhone on 9/16 from a preorder placed 9/7. Iām not very knowledgeable about iOS stuff but as soon as I started it up, it got into the restore process from a backup of an iPhone XS Max that was running iOS 16 (derived from being a BETA user). As soon as I could sign into the iPhone 14, I found it was running iOS 16 and I donāt remember seeing the circling wheel and all that bit that usually comes with a major iOS update. So at the time I perhaps wrongly concluded that iOS 16 must have been installed when it left the factory. My new phone shipped to the US directly from China via Korea and Anchorage, Alaska.
P.S. Matthew Allsop in a Hearing Tracker YouTube short says that heās checked with Oticon and theyāve officially tested both the iOS 16 beta and the production iOS 16 and find that both versions work fine with Oticon BT connectivity. He doesnāt say what Oticon firmware but I presume it would be v1.4.0, if not the just previous version, too.
My eBay provider gave me a NoahLink wireless. After the Oticon software updated itself, it found the firmware update, and I was able to update firmware. I updated it without knowing what the update was all about. Lol. I am enthusiastic about trying to answer the phone from my hearing aid. Weāll see how that goes. So far, I had no trouble with my iPhone software or the hearing aids after I rebooted oticon on.

I decided to downgrade my iPhone (16.0.2 to 15.7) while Apple still allows me to do that.
Got my MORE 1 (firmware 1.4.0) paired to my iPhone XR (iOS 15.7). The same issue happened after a few hours. That is frustrating, especially since downgrading Apple devices is not funā¦
I have reseted the network settings now. If that doesnāt help I will restore my phone to iOS 16.0.2 using the backup I made.

interesting so it seems that Oticon screwed up something in the firmware 1.4.0
@cvkemp: I have great confidence in Oticonās science and approach to treating hearing loss, and am pretty trusting of the quality of their hardware. But thatās where the dance ends!
I find their attention to detail in all the smaller things in the Oticon ecosystem to be pretty shoddy.

Your hearing loss is different than mine. I am this way I finally have an Audiologist that I trust. And If he feels comfortable about keeping me in the Oticon aids that is fine by me, if he tells me that some other hearing aids will be better for my needs that is the way I will go.
Right now I am doing very good to almost great with the More1 aids as for as hearing in my environments, being retired I donāt depend that much on phone calls, we do a lot of texting, and some FaceTime. I find that FaceTime allows me to see the persons face and lips that seems to be important to me. While I find connectivity is important it doesnāt kill my day if I donāt have it, I agree I am getting concerned about the connectivity issues over all. I have a number of podcast I listen to, an while I can turn the volume up on my iPad and listen to them, when I am a lone that doesnāt always happen and I prefer not bothering others.
