Cannot select Hearing aid mode

Tying to get hearing aid mode to work on my iPhone 4S
Recently got hearing aids and upgraded phone to 7.0.3.
Opened General>Accessibility>Hearing Aids
In Devices window Bluetooth is not selected but immediately starts searching, however the aids are not Bluetooth.
Tried to Selected Hearing Aid Mode then exit window, but mode does not remain selected.
Audiologist said she has seen same problem on another Verizon phone, but it appears to work ok with T-mobile phone.

According to what the screen shows when I go into the section you are referring to, it says that Bluetooth is required to connect to hearing aids. How does the audiologist say the hearing aids are supposed to connect?

  • How to Set Hearing Aid Mode on 4s?

    I have two iPhone 4s running IOS5 and am unable to see the Hearing Aid Mode feature in General Settings.
    Mark

    Problem is that I've been told that several times, but going to that page shows "Vision" with "VoiceOver, Zoom, Large Text, White on Black, Speak Selection, Speak Auto-text", "Hearing" followed with "Custom Vibrations", "LED Flash for Alerts", "Mono Audio", "L-R"(slider), then "Physical & Motor" with "Assistive Touch", Incoming Calls", and finally "Choose route for incoming calls" and "Triple-click Home".  Nothing there about setting Hearing Aid Mode.
    So what am I missing?  Are one of these things actually "Hearing Aid Mode"?  Does something else have to be enabled to bring up that menu selection?
    This is true on both my Sprint and my Verizon iPhones.

  • Hearing Aid Mode - Why is it missing from the iOS 5 install?

    Several reviews on the web clearly show that Hearing Aid Mode is displayed in Settings-General-Accessibility in the "Hearing" section, but on my recent iOS 5 install on my iPhone 4, the Hearing Aid Mode has been replaced with "Custom Vibrations".
    Is this a bug or a known oversight?
    My LED Flash for Alerts setting doesn't seem to work as well (which seems to be a common complaint on the forums one day after the iOS 5 general release.)
    Is there another way to enable Hearing Aid Mode in iOS 5?
    -joedy

    I have two phones with ATT.  One is an iPhone 4 and I can see the Hearing Aid Mode option.  So in the "Hearing" section on the iPhone 4 I have the "Hearing Aid Mode" and then the "Custom Vibrations".
    The issue I'm having is on an iPhone 4S - the Hearing Aid Mode option does now show up (like what you are seeing on your iPhone 4).
    On my other phone, an iPhone 4S, under the "Hearing" section I only see the "Custom Vibrations" option - there is not a "Hearing Aid Mode".
    So does anyone know if there is another option that we need to enable to cause the "Hearing Aid Mode" option to display in the Hearing section?  It looks like that option may or may not show up in iOS 5, but I have not been able to determine why it is showing up on the iPhone 4 and not the iPhone 4S. 
    Both phones are at the same iOS 5 release level.

  • Hearing aid mode

    I have a iphone 4 and love it, still learning stuff, my question is how can I get my hearing aid mode to stay on? It stays on for a few seconds then shuts off.....

        Hi dodgehemi,
    I'm glad that you are loving your iPhone 4! While you are able to connect your hearing aid to your phone, it may not stay connect due to compatibility issues. Please see this link
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4526 for compatibility details. Also find helpful information about your iPhone 4 http://goo.gl/c9etF online. And you want to take full advantage of your phone's features I recommend a http://vzw.com/workshops free workshop.

  • HT4526 No hearing aid icon in speaker box

    I cannot turn on hearing icon on iPhone

    I installed the iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and I enabled the "Hearing Aid Mode". The loud clicking noise went away so now my wife can use my phone with that option enable.  She has the hearing aids.
    Currently she has a Droid and can hear ok using the t-coil.  She has never been able to use the iPhone with her T-switch because of the loud clicking noise. 
    So we got an iPhone 4S for her thinking that option would be available on the iPhone 4S (Hearing Aid Mode).  She hears the loud clicking noise because the "Hearing Aid Mode" option is missing on the iPhone 4S (not sure why that option does not show up - see other post). 
    We are going to have to return the 4S since it does not work with her hearing aid :-(.
    I guess another option is to give her my old iPhone 4 and I take the iPhone 4S :-).  We only have 3 days to return the phone, so we may return the 4S and have her test my iphone 4 for a month or so to see if it really works.
    So my comment is you may want to try an iPhone 4 again with iOS 5 installed and enable the "Hearing Aid Mode" option.

  • IPhone hearing aid t-coil (telecoil) compatibility and clicking noises

    We happily received our new Verizon iPhone4 a week ago, but, with considerable disappointment, sent it back yesterday ...
    This iPhone did not work with the t-coil on my wife's hearing aids. This subject has been discussed previously in these discussion groups, but suggestions like using TTY or adding bluetooth dongles to the hearing aids are simply not acceptable.
    Here are some details ...
    My wife wears two Oticon Synchro P hearing aids. They are about 4 years old. They are expensive hearing aids. They have a t-coil setting which she normally uses with telephones, and it works quite well with our Uniden land line phones and our old LG cell phones. The purpose of the t-coil is to inductively couple a telephone or other device to the hearing aid, rather than depending on acoustic coupling which often results in poor sound quality or lots of feedback. With my wife's hearing aids, when turned on, the t-coil does pick up some noise, more like a hum than white noise, but at an acceptable level. When we first tried the iPhone, just placing the iPhone speaker next to the ear with hearing aid with t-coil enabled, caused the noise/hum level to increase noticeably, to a level that was only marginally acceptable. There were other issues, as well.
    Except for the noise increase, it did not seem to matter if the t-coil was turned on or off, i.e. there did not seem to be any inductive coupling through the t-coil. Essentially the coupling was acoustic, resulting in poor sound quality.
    Last but certainly not least, we also got a loud clicking noise. Once again this was when the iPhone was next to the ear with the hearing aid with t-coil enabled. The noise sounds like a relay clicking, at a rate just slightly faster than I could count. This only occurred in the house, and was gone when we attempted to demonstrate the problem at a Verizon store. I took the iPhone back home determined to find the source of the clicking interference by turning off all the wireless phones and other electronics in the house. When I turned off my Linksys router, an old WRK54G model, the clicks went away. Okay, so I turned the router back on, and turned WIFI off on the iPhone - sure enough, no clicks. And there were no clicks when the t-coil was turned off, or when the iPhone was not in close proximity to the hearing aid (with or without WIFI enabled). So there is a interaction between the WIFI signal, the hearing aid t-coil, and the iPhone in combination.
    Next, I tried changing the WIFI wireless channel on the router from channel 1 (2.417 Ghz), to channel 6 (2.442 Ghz), to channel 11 (2.467 Ghz) .. none of this helped, i.e. if WIFI was enabled on the iPhone, and the iPhone was near the hearing aid with t-coil enabled, the clicks were there and very loud.
    Next, I looked at some of the router parameters, and noticed that the router sends a short preamble at a default interval of 100 msecs (10 per second) - roughly my guess of the click frequency. Changing this interval to 1000 msec (1 per second) did indeed change the frequency of the clicks to 1 per second!
    My theory on this is that we were hearing all the WIFI packets, but most of it sounded like noise, and only the periodic preamble broadcasts were identifiable as clicks. Strange, eh ?
    So what now ? Turn off WIFI on the iPhone? No. Change the preamble frequency permanently ? Probably not since I have no clue as to what effect that might have on the various WIFI devices that are used around here. Buy a different router ? Well, maybe, but the iPhone4 only supports 802.11 b/g/n on 2.4Ghz, so it's a toss-up whether or not a newer router would help. Buy new bluetooth hearing aids ? Not anytime soon. Buy the bluetooth add-on gizmo ? Probably not ... Few hearing impaired people really want all that hardware - they just want their t-coils to work.
    In the end, we didn't try another unit ... we simply gave up and sent the iPhone back. Since we really like the iPhone, we'll wait until the iPhone5 comes out, try that, and if it doesn't work, we'll find an Android phone from LG or some other manufacturer that does work.
    PS
    Apple says the iPhone4 CDMA has an M4,T4 (i.e. very good) rating for hearing aid compatibility, "Based on testing conducted by an independent laboratory following the ANSI standard C63.19, "American National Standard for Methods of Measurement of Compatibility between Wireless Communications Devices and Hearing Aids."" I think Apple needs to find a different lab, or do in-house testing of the top 10 hearing aids. A very large group of potential customers would appreciate it.

    I installed the iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and I enabled the "Hearing Aid Mode". The loud clicking noise went away so now my wife can use my phone with that option enable.  She has the hearing aids.
    Currently she has a Droid and can hear ok using the t-coil.  She has never been able to use the iPhone with her T-switch because of the loud clicking noise.

  • Hearing Aid Setting

    After setting hearing aid mode (telecoil) on my phone and hearing aids how am I supposed to use it (there is no apparent difference)? Is the setting compatible with UK hearing aids?

    Hello Landypete1,
    In hearing aid mode/telecoil mode, the magnetic signal of your BlackBerry device is modified to an appropriate level and frequency response to be picked up by hearing aids that are equipped with telecoils. 
    What model BlackBerry and device software version are you using? After you enabled this do you see the H-T telecoil indicator appear at the top of the Home screen?
    Thank you.

  • How can I hear text notification in Resound hearing aid when in vibrate mode?

    How can I hear text notification in Resound hearing aid when in vibrate mode?

    You should turn off "Auto input monitoring". I only have L8 and there you find it under Options->audio->Auto Input monitoring. Would guess that its in the same place in L9

  • Hearing Aid connection, can't hear the iPhone ring.

    Hearing Aids and iPhone4
    Hi, I have a Phonak Audeo Smart hearing aid, connected via a Phonak iCom Bluetooth system to my iPhone 4.  The bluetooth pairs and connects without a problem, I can hear the call and hang up via the main iCom button, but I cannot hear the call ringing in and so I don't know when I receive a call and don't know how to answer it.  The connection seems to be made automatically but I don't know that it has happened. I have the latest IOS, I've tried different iPhone ring tones and also tried silent mode so the phone itself doesn't ring at all, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    AND I ALSO CANNOT UPDATE MY APPS??     DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE SPEAKER AND APP PROBLEM???

  • Hearing Aids try to pair with multiple Devices!

    My wife just got a pair of Starkey Halo hearing aids, and we've had some problems getting them paired successfully, consistently, and keeping them paired.
    One key problem is our household has multiple iOS devices (iPhone 5, 6, 6+, iPad Air, iPod Touch) and the Starkey's appear to have infected them all, and I suspect this is because we utilize a single iTunes account for all our devices.
    My wife uses the iPhone 6, and the hearing aids were paired there.  This morning I noticed them paired on my 6+ and I'm assuming they are showing up on the other devices as well.  This morning I deleted the hearing aids from my phone and now I'm at work, miles away, and they are back...
    How can I stop this from happening?  Do I need to setup a 2nd iTunes account for the wife to use?

    You might need to take some extra steps to make sure the Halos and you phone competely forget about each other. Try the following --
    1. On both phones, make sure you are each connected to the correct iTunes account.
    2. With your wife, her phone and your phone nearby, open Settings->General->Accessibility->Hearing Aids->(your wife's hearing aids) then select "Forget this device."
    3. Ask your wife to make sure her hearing aids are connected to her phone.
    4. Have your wife remove the batteries from her hearing aids.
    5. Power down both phones.
    6. Have your wife power up her phone. wait until the TruLink app is fully aware of her hearing aids before you power up your phone.
    I think that should do it. Let us know.

  • Suddenly I cannot select just one file in a folder, all of them get selected at the same time.  Happens in Lightroom also when scrolling through the filmstrip. what did I do?

    My Mac Pro is acting wonky all of a sudden. This all began after someone in my family spilled water on the keyboard and tried to clean it up while still turned on. I bought a new keyboard but now I cannot select just one file in a folder, all get selected. Same thing happens in Lightroom 3 when editing in the filmstrip mode, I cannot just select one photo, they all get selected. Plus, after awhile I cannot type in small letters either, just capitals. If I restart it is ok for about 15 minutes then the problems start. I did a reinstall of the OS but it is still happening. I zapped the pram, fixed permissions, etc but no luck. I am on a 2x2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon machine with 900 gigs unused. Any suggestions? 

    Try also resetting smc.
    Also check your keyboard preferences.  And just to possibly reset some keyboard related caches and prefs you might go through the "Change Keyboard Type..." (Keyboard tab in the Keyboard preferences).

  • My hearing aid compatible is not there anymore, I can no longer hear with my hearing aid in my ear

    I updated my iPhone 4 Verizon , now my hearing aid setting are gone and cannot hear anything with my iPhone to my ear, except a loud bussing sound.

    Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
    I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
    At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

  • Cannot select and move in mountain lion

    I am running 10.8.4 on an early 2009 15'' MBP, and I have been having issues where I cannot select an object (file or folder) and move it. This is affecting my other programs, for example, i find that I cannot select and move cursor in Maya.
    Not sure why, has anyone seen this before? and can I fix it somehow? I tried restarting my computer multiple times but the problem presists.
    thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.
