My Apple Watch running watchOS 26 won't recognize Widex Moment hearing aids

Hi everybody, since I upgraded both my Apple Watch and my iPhone to the newest 26 version, my Apple Watch , through the Widex app (on the watch) no longer recognises my hearing devices (what so ever I do and, by the way, I'm not a newbie). However and fortunately, my iPhone still works (the Wydex Moment app) without any problem.

Anybody outside with the same problem?

Cheers and thank you for any issue.

Many software updates have required Many brands to re-pair the hearing Aids with your iPhone after an update.

NB> I am not talking about using the Widex or other-maker's APP to do this, I mean:

Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices ...

and at the top under MiFi hearing devices, make certain Both hearing aids are connected and recognized for what they are.

Otherwise, use the provided maker's instructions to pair them back into your iPhone.

Once paired again, everything (including maker's App) starts to work.

if your iPhone is connected and has no issues, you may need to Restart your Apple Watch.
