I have new iPhone 12 pro and can't use my hearing aids to stream phone calls. On many calls I get static and my hearing aids disconnect/ drop. I have to go to the speaker to stop.

Lots of post on apple community about the problem, but no information about a fix and when.

Most people depend on streaming calls to hearing aids and need this feature to work properly.

Don't know what kind of hearing aids you have. I have none of these problems with mine.

I was using iPhone 12, not using hearing aid, but tons of static coming through from call center somewhere. Unable to hear. Called using samsung S20 - perfectly fine. So it may be more than Bluetooth earphones. BT was on, always is. I switched my sim out of iphone to prevent happenings again.

And this with ios 14.2. I'm sure by 14.99 they'll figure it out ?
