Max, I have found hearing aids do use the same Bluetooth arrangement and frequencies that other audio devices use. I fear you cannot use two audio devices at the same time. It is at least possible that the app that manages your hearing aid connection to your iPhone could allow some flexibility. * Your audiologist might have useful information and your hearing aids might be more flexible than mine. * Apple telephone accessibility technical support could also help. The phone number is 1-877-204-3930. Others on the list may know of a text-based option if texting them is better for you..
I hope you find a satisfactory solution.

I held my phone near the HomePods to transfer the program to them. This would not work I felt the vibration that normally indicates the transfer process should occur. So no music! Thismorning Tuesday I thought I would try again. However I had not turned on my hearing aids before trying connect the phone and the HomePods. All worked as you would expect. So it appears that I can’t play music from my phone if I have already turned on my hearing aids. I do have the aids connected to the phone via bluetooth. It was my understanding that aids connected on a different frequency to normal bluetooth. Could others try and replicate this and let us know there findings before I contact Disability support. Thanks for any ideas. Max. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
