iPhone 15 Does Not Stream Sounds Correctly After iOS 27.2 update

2nd Attempt: I have an Iphone 15, now updated to IOS 27.2 I have Bluetooth connected Hearing Aids (Audibel Aris)


Before update: All ringtones, sounds and notifications streamed to my hearing aids. This was especially helpful as my partner is 'set off' by ringing phones and noises. the phone stayed silent unless the aids were out of range, or turned off. (I note that this all happened without using the 'Silent Mode' switch on the side of the phone.)


After the Update: ALL sounds and notifications go to BOTH the Hearing Aids and the phone speaker! I've looked around over and over, I've taken my phone to the local phone store (TMobile) and each time we think we got it fixed but it is not. For the time being I have my phone on 'Silent Mode' but I keep missing calls and notifications because I don't hear the alerts. (FYI, if it matters, both HA had a firmware update this morning, but this made no change.)


How can I set this new update so that the sounds all go to my hearing aids as before without having to keep the phone in Silent Mode?

Not every issue an individual encounters on their device can be attributed to an iOS update. iOS 27 or later may have coincided with what you are experiencing, but that does not mean the issue was triggered by iOS. Coincidence in timing is not, by itself, evidence of causation.


If the update itself were the root cause, then every device running that same version of iOS would exhibit the identical problem. In such a scenario, the forums would be flooded with countless posts reporting the same malfunction, creating an unmistakable wave of complaints that no one could possibly overlook.


The absence of such widespread reports strongly indicates that the issue is not a general, system-wide problem with iOS 27 or later, but rather something specific to the individual device, its configuration, installed apps, settings, hardware, or another interacting factor.


In short: iOS 27 or later may be a coincidence in timing, but there is no basis to conclude that iOS itself triggered the problem simply because the issue appeared after the update.




See what each update does: About iOS 27 Updates, About iOS 26 Updates, About iOS 18 Updates, About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...
