Connectivity challenges with Android 12 and 13
Following the recent Android 12 and Android 13 updates, we have been made aware that several end-users experience issues with streaming and reconnecting their hearing aids. Specifically on Samsung devices, some experience issues with one of the hearing instruments disconnecting and not immediately being able to reconnect. The issues can often be temporarily resolved by turning off Bluetooth and/or pairing the hearing instruments again.
At this point, we can only preventively recommend not to update the smartphone to Android 12 and Android 13
As soon as a permanent resolution or a workaround has been identified, we will inform on this page.
