IOS 7.1 probs communicating with hearing aid

Hey. I've had some serious problems with the streaming feature to my hearing aids since I updated to IOS 7.1. Any chance, I can go back to IOS 7.0.4

If the device is unlocked it does not seem to do this. I'd rather not leave it unlocked and an easy target for theft. I tried turning on 'Car Play' in restrictions and that seemed to help for a little while, but then it started up with the problem after a few skipped tracks. Now about every 5th time I skip a track, it happens normally, but most of the time I get the multi-disconnect issue.

IPhone 4...still doesn't work with hearing aids

Well. Among all the great features the iPhone offers, I still see no sign that it will be compatible for people with hearing aids and/or cochlear implants...again.
Seriously, this is the iPhone 4. What gives?
Many phones out there have this compatibility, why does Apple continue to neglect the hard of hearing? Same with iTunes not having movies with captions/subtitles. Sure some do, but hardly any new ones or popular ones.
My god if Apple would fix this I would be TOTALLY buying all their products.

Apple should have made it compatible, especially with the ASL-friendly spin that's being put on the front facing camera.
Although the phone doesn't have a proper T-coil rating, there are options that will work around the limitation. Some of the newer instruments out there are bluetooth compatible by way of NFMI - http://www.oticonusa.com/Oticon/Professionals/professional_products/dual/streame r.html
Another, more generic, option would accept bluetooth connectivity from the phone and convert it by way of neck loop to something you could use with your T-coil program - http://www.amazon.com/Artone-Bluetooth-Neckloop-Alternative-Headsets/dp/B000TZ1R 08
There are several variations on the same theme offered from the big hearing aid manufacturers. Obviously not an ideal solution, but it's better than nothing.

IPhone 5s with hearing aids via Bluetooth. Need to use the phone for voice, what's the best distance that the mic will pick up your voice

I wear hearing aids that are made for Apple, the audio will go into the hearing aids via Bluetooth. I'll need to use my phone for voice only.. I drive for work and have a wok oh one too and both are synced to a bluetooh headset (LG). I'm trying to figure out how to talk on both phones ( use speakerphone on work phone?) without using a bluretooh headset. I don't know the range of the microphone on the IPHON, thinking about hanging it around my neck or put the phone into a stand/holder on the dash and use the speakerphone feature. Looking for ideas to make this simple

You can't do anything with that problem.
Take your iPhone to the closest Apple Store and they will give you new one for 200€/$ or if you bought your iPhone in less than 12 months you will get it for free.

Will iwatch be able to interface with hearing aides that interface with iphone 6?

I am ready to buy hearing aides that use the iphone 6 to control volume. I know the watch isn't out yet but if it won't work with these aides it might be worth waiting a little longer since it would be great to have the volume control on my wrist... I figure if you can control music this might be doable too. Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

Just checked out their site. Got to say while loosing your hearing is never a good thing this looks really amazing.
While the ability to adjust the sound of the hearing aids is a nice feature the ability to stream audio from an iPhone or iPod or from a TV to the hearing aids is, in my opinion, a great use of the technology.
Thanks for bring this to my attention it will be interesting to see what they do in the future.

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.
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.

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.

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.

My iPhone 6 will not sync with the hearing aid I am using

I am not able to sync my hearing aid with iPhone 6

You're welcome. Unfortunately, the company's website support is lacking, and make no mention of the iPhone at all. I hope you are able to get some support. If you have additional questions about the profiles that the iPhone Bluetooth supports, you can take a look at this support document and see if that helps. iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles - Apple Support

New iPod Touch will not pair with New Resound Linx hearing aid

Greetings
Received a new pair of hearing aids aweek ago, Resound Linx. Very nice indeed.
Days after I purchase a New iPod Touch, down loaded all updates and the Resound Smart app.
Followed instructions to the letter but am unable to pair the hearing aids with the iPod.
Hearing aids work fine and have fresh batteries. Bluetooth turned on, iPod continues to search
but can not find hearing aids. Has anyone had this problem, can anyone offer any suggestions.
Many Thanks
David

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.

I want to communicate with a hearing impaired partner who has bluetooth compatible hearing aids. Can I do this with an iPhone?

I want to communicate with a hearing impaired partner who wears bluetooth enabled hearing aids.
Ideally, I would use an bluetooth mic via an iPhone that would work directly with her hearing aids. This would be done primarily in home and work environments.
Can I do this with an iPhone? If so, how?
Thanks,
Bob

Did you get any answers?

HT201210 I have done all of the things on this list, to include editing the hosts file with no the same error each time (3194). I am trying to restore my iphone 4 ios 6 to get it unlocked. Diagnostics show no issue communicating with apple. Help.

I am trying to restore my iphone 4 ios 6 to acheive unlock. hit restore and it unloads software, confirms with apple then displays the 3194 error. I have turned off my virus scanner, unplugged all usb except for iphone, edited the hosts file and run diagnostics which showes communication with apple is fine. What do I need to do to get my ipone to restore?

There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.
