Sometime in the past month, the Sonos app has started to continuously stream a silent stream to my hearing aids, from launching the app until it is killed by flicking out of the app list.

 

This is more of a problem that it sounds, because the hearing aids basically stop working while this is happening; you can’t hear people talking to you, and you can’t hear the music you’re trying to play or judge the volume you’re playing it at.

 

Other iOS apps do it too (Shazam, Spotify) so I’m guessing it’s a iOS app kludge. There was a similar issue 6 years ago:

 

 

I’m sure the app team is swamped at the moment, but it would be great to hear that this issue is understood, and would be addressed at some point.

Maybe this is linked to the battery use problems some have mentioned here?

Could be, though I’ve not seen any unusual battery usage by the Sonos app myself.

As long as the app is open, I get periodic clicking (static sound) in my hearing aids

Good news - the Sonos iOS app has stopped doing this, as of v80.06.03 (or perhaps a bit earlier)
