Do you have the make and model of your headset? That will help us find a solution.

My iPhone has a

My recently issued
Hearing Aids are supposed to connect to my iPhone by Bluetooth.
However, they do only
about 70% of the time
Even when I fiddle about
with the iPhone settings, they rarely connect.
And because the Hearing
Aids were NOT made by Apple, Apple isn't interested in helping
sort out the problem. The hospital is? far to busy to care.
Bluetooth is? a complete

invented by somebody who had too much spare time!!

I hope you were you able to return it for a refund.
I take it that this needs to be 2-way, i.e., microphone and head/earphones??
It might be easier to get a BlueTooth headset. There are many too choose from.

Bruce, are you sure about this? <> <>
They are limited in output voltage but have excellent frequency response and low distortion. There might an issue using them into loads with very low impedance, however.

You have to be very careful with these things - if you are an audiophile and expect low bass, or you are watching action movies and expect low bass for the action sequences, you won't get it.? There are some things you can do to help - like going into the Sounds and Haptics / Headphone safety and turning OFF reduce loud audio,? ?Then go into Settings / Music / EQ ad select "Loudness".? That seems to reverse the idiocy related to earbuds and gets you something closer to the way it used to work with the headphone jack.? 32Hz, which is common in action movies, is still not quite back where it should be, and there won't be much below that.? But it isn't awful.??
I sure wish Apple would concentrate on sound quality in of of these iOS updates, bring it back to the experience you used to get through the headphone jack.??
Back to these little adapters - none of the changes I mention above will help - these little adapters are severely high pass filtered.? You have to pay extra - a lot extra - to get one where the audio capacitors are sufficiently large in value to pass low bass.? If you look at the size needed, two of them won't fit in a little dongle, it will take something bigger.? It is almost simpler to use bluetooth with the setting above, but again be careful - the cheap adapters are severely high pass filtered.? We use a very high end bluetooth one for broadcast.? Fortunately, FM is high pass filtered at the exciter and most stations don't go below 50 Hz, unless the engineer has hacked them for more bass.? It is sure nice carrying our entire library into the station on one phone, instead of lugging totes of CD's like we used to.? Oh the joys of brokered time!??
Again - the Apple engineers could give us 20Hz to 20 kHz if they wanted to.? They don't and I am surprised hip-hop fans and movie fans haven't been complaining!? They may not be audiophiles in the strict sense, but both application demand the same thing - low bass.? It would be extremely nice if we had a 20Hz to 20 kHz flat option in that sound EQ section.

I use Bose QC-35 (I know they are old), and get decent response but not 20 Hz to 20 kHz.? My daughter got me a pair of premium Apple over the ear headphones that seem really good.? Don't know what they are called but she knows not to give me trendy overpriced garbage.? I haven't taken them to the station to do a rigorous test.? But low bass seems to be there.? I will let you know.? As far as the high end, only little children can still hear to 20 kHz, I am probably topping off about 12 kHz.? FM rolls of before 15 kHz, so I don't care about the really high end - the listeners will never hear it.? But it needs to be there because low frequency instruments have overtones and if you attenuate the high end the instruments will sound wrong.??
EVERYNODY hates audiophiles!? If there is something off, we notice it.? And Apple has abandoned audiophile sound to sell earbuds.? When I grew up, a six transistor radio reproduced 300 Hz to 4 kHz in a shirt pocket sized unit.? For a while, we had really good walkmans that reproduced everything you could put on a cassette and worked with audiophile headphones that COULD reproduce it.? Along comes compressed music and earbuds.? Bass is once again limited to about 300 Hz through them and it SUCKS.? 60 years and no progress in portable music reproduction.? Except for an era when it was manufactured.? Now we have backtracked and a whole generation thinks compressed music through earbuds is good quality sound reproduction.? I should hand them a 60's transistor radio and ask them which sounds better.??

If I was able to solder these
wretched fiddly plugs I would? make my own
The other problem is? NOT knowing
