iPad mini 6 incorrectly reports Oticon hearing aids as connected

My iPad mini 6 since installing iOS v27.1 intermittently reports that my Oticon hearing aids are connected when I’m not wearing them. They are in their charger. I am now using iOS 27.2 and it still incorrectly reports that my aids are connected. I see no reason for my iPad to report they are connected when I am not wearing them. Any suggestions as to why this happens? If no rational explanation, I’ll submit a problem report.

I wear GN Resound Vivia, and the device I use most often (iPhone) sometimes reports my hearing aids as connected when they are in the charger.


It seems that some modern hearing aids do not power off in their charger, and are willing to say hello while they are charging.
