Am no expert in this area: Fortunatyely, Apple support provides helpful guidance via articles online.

Wondering if pairing is ok,

which settings that you want to use are not working for you,

and what happens when you try.


Also: There may be firmware in use that may need updating for compatibility.

(eg: The user-manual or manufacturer's support website may have details)


You may want to check whether your cochlear implants are on Apple's Mfi compatibility list:

List of Made for iPhone hearing devices - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Cochlear


  • Baha 5
  • Baha 5 Power
  • Baha 5 SuperPower
  • Baha 6 Max Sound Processor
  • Kanso 2 Sound Processor
  • Nucleus 7 Sound Processor
  • Nucleus 8 Sound Processor
  • Osia 2 Sound Processor"


If on the list: See Use Made for iPhone hearing devices - Apple Support

Eg: says:

Control your hearing device


When your hearing device is connected to it, your Apple device can control microphone level (volume), audio presets, and more for your hearing device. Find the settings here:


  • iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices.

To see more settings, tap the name of your connected hearing device.

  • Mac: Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click Accessibility in the sidebar, then click Hearing Devices on the right. Learn more about Hearing Devices settings.
  • Apple Vision Pro: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices.

To see more settings, tap the name of your connected hearing device.


For quicker access to some settings and features:



On iPhone and iPad, you can also turn on Live Listen from the settings screen.


If your hearing device has its own app from the manufacturer, that app might offer additional settings and controls."


All the best :-)
