I wound up learning a lot from several community members about different strategies for locating a lost hearing aid that was either disconnected or “forgotten” as a device find my iPhone today, and I am so grateful, so I’m sharing something Inrwn across I hope someone else may find useful if they find themselves in a panic like I was. In researching finder apps that would be simple (and if possible, free) Wunderfind kept showing up at the top of reviews, and I had a good first experience. )I have no affiliation with the app company/developer) I’m attaching some screenshots to help you get a sense of how this one works and why I liked it. Somehow it was able to recognize the actual designated names of the devices whereas some other apps I tested did not. That was very helpful and made my process of elimination/search quicker.
I also learned from member here that certain kinds of apps, allow you to track find a device even if your phone is not currently paired with it or has never been paired with it by using settings to stream, sound to the lost hearing aid, so that it is soft Lee broadcasting sound, which you can closely listen for to locate, if the setting of the lost device is conducive to listening for somewhat soft sounds of music being broadcast from the hearing aid speaker.
Here are photos of the Wunderfind app:
