It was a relatively slow month as far as impactful news goes, but it\u2019s likely the calm before the storm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the Academy of Audiology hosting their annual industry expo from March 30-April 2nd, we\u2019re likely to see several newsworthy announcements from manufacturers in the coming days, which we\u2019ll report on in April\u2019s post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We expect at least one new hearing aid to be announced during this expo, but probably nothing incredibly noteworthy\u2014we\u2019re looking to Fall for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
iOS 15.4 was released on March 14th, and within days the calls began to come in\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy app doesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy hearing aids don\u2019t stream.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese hearing aids are garbage!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We soon learned that the iOS 15.4 update breaks the established connection between the phone and the app, resulting in a black screen and prompting the user to pair the hearing aids again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This problem affected all major brands and models except those that use classic Bluetooth, such as Phonak Paradise<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve had this issue, here\u2019s the fix: <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1) Un-pair the hearing aids in IOS settings with the app running in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2) Re-pair your hearing aids with the app still running in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3) Go back to the app and complete the pairing flow as prompted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a good time to mention\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anytime anything wonky happens with your Bluetooth hearing aids and\/or app, the first step of troubleshooting should always be unpairing and re-pairing your hearing aids via Bluetooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If that doesn\u2019t work, almost all manufacturers then recommend deleting and reinstalling the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If that doesn\u2019t work, contact your hearing aid manufacturer via their Bluetooth support line. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPhonak TV Connector D back in stock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
