I am also a developer with a major US company… But this was a hard fail on Oticons end… they obviously did not fully test this 1.4.0 compatibility with iOS16. It’s a wide spread problem, and should be very easy to resolve with modern day CICD tools including VSC (version control system)… im sure the developers has had the fix for weeks, i dont know what they are waiting on pushing it out….

From the Oticon developer I spoke with and my nephew that is an Apple developer confirmed that apple made a last minute change to MFI in IOS16

@cvkemp You make a lot of great points. I got the new hearing aids specifically because I needed the connectivity for working. I started with Phonak Marvels and I returned them because they were so unreliable. Phonak rushed them out with ridiculous limitations, so I found them to be unusable in practice. The Opn and Opn S hearing aids were much better, but this experience with the More hearing aids has been a step in the wrong direction. I’ve been emailing with Oticon Canada, which is denying that this is a known problem. They want to send my hearing aids and ConnectClip to Europe for analysis. They are going to give me replacements, because otherwise, I would have a hard time keeping in contact with colleagues. It’s interesting that my contact at Oticon has no idea about this issue, when you have two people that corroborate this to be a known problem.

As a Veteran my aids are from the here in the states. I do volunteer work at the clinic I go to, my audiologist uses me as sort of a guinea pig, as I have software and electronics technology background. I have contacts with the VA Oticon rep and a couple of the audiologist/developers, as I have brought up so much to them over the last 4 years. I also help the veterans at the clinic with mostly connectivity issues and pep talks on being patient and working to get use to their aids. I wear Oticon aids but it seems that most that go to the clinic get Phonak and Resound aids. As for as I am concerned the connectivity is the very last on my list of importance.

Totally agree. Connectivity is the bottom of the list when it comes to hearing. I have had strange connectivity issues since getting the update to 1.4.0 and my audiologist wants to send them back to Oticon. I am going to wait to see what happens when iOS 16.1 comes out next week to see how or if connectivity changes. If it still bad I will get loaners and send them back to Oticon. My fingers are crossed.

I just got my More1 aids back from repair. They are still 1.3.0. I get my aids from the , and the contracts renew the first of November, I am told that the problem is the 1.4.0 firmware, and it should be fixed by the contract release. The VA will not allow their More aids to be updated until the fix is in place.

Does that mean my iPad will be iOS 16 like my iPhone? I thought my iPad was too old and that is why it wasn’t upgrading to iOS 16.
Or have I misunderstood?

It depends on the version of IPAD you have, a few years ago Apple started separate the IPhone and IPad iOS to better support the differences between the devices.

I am not surprised of the MFI bugs… Expect more bugs to come after iOS 16… They (Apple) will abandon it for newly standardized LE audio stack…

It will not happen until the hearing aid companies adapt it
And right now is working better than ASAH

Agreed, has some synchronization issues which have been going on for years…MFI is dead in apple engineering team but they have to support it barely. you aren’t the priority for Apple, you are the 0.1%-0.5% of those that uses MFI hearing aid with an iphone… they have an engineer assigned to it but it is probably a lone intern taking care of it like 5 hour a month…

My feelings if they would just leave it alone and let it be I would be help. Yes the new tech will become of importance soon. But until then my feels is I choose my aids not by connectivity but what allows me to hear the rest of the time. Streaming and calls are a very low percentage of my day. My family and friends know to text me so there isn’t any miscommunication

iOS can’t ‘fix’ the 5.0 in your phone, it is what it is. Your can use 5.1 according to this - https://launchstudio.bluetooth.com/ListingDetails/1330025
Get a phone (borrow, trial, beg) with BT 5.1 (or better) and try it out.
I just upgraded my phone to BT 5.2 to match the BT spec of my HAs. They perform much better.

I knew it wouldn’t fix it… I been running 16.1 RC since last week and knew this wasn’t the fix… I can only hope Oticon pushes the fix this week (prior to the timeline thing posted above)…

Kindly clarify what you mean by your statement about upgrading your phone to 5.2. AFAIK, the version of BT on a phone is based on hardware, not software.
