Connectivity challenges with Android 12 and 13

Following the recent Android 12 and 13 updates, we have been made aware that several end-users experience issues with streaming and reconnecting their hearing aids. Specifically on Samsung devices, some experience issues with one of the hearing instruments disconnecting and not immediately being able to reconnect. The issues can often be temporarily resolved by turning off Bluetooth and/or pairing the hearing instruments again.

The connection challenges are not related to hearing aids or end-user app, but rather to the connectivity protocol between the smartphones and the hearing aids provided by Android. We have assigned a team of engineers to investigate and resolve this issue in parallel with the Android providers to ensure that your clients once again can enjoy a seamless streaming experience with their hearing aids.

At this point, we can only preventively recommend not to update the smartphone to Android 12 and 13
As soon as a resolution or a workaround has been identified, we will inform on this page

Note: The direct audio streaming requires minimum Android 10 and Bluetooth® 5.0, and that Android Streaming to Hearing Aids has been enabled by the phone manufacturer. Accordingly, the compatibility information provided should be used for reference only. Although Beltone strives to achieve seamless device compatibilities, Beltone cannot guarantee full compatibility with all Android devices.

If direct Android streaming is not supported by your hearing aids or Android smartphone, you can use the Beltone Phone Link2 to stream sound. The Beltone Phone Link2 enables you to connect your Beltone hearing aids to any Bluetooth v.2.0 Android device.
