Auto racket: Hearing aids make an annoying noise when car is running | Mayo Clinic Connect

The first thing that I would check is to make sure your hearing aids are NOT in a telecoil program. If in this mode, the aids would be more susceptible to picking up the electrical interference from the engine.

Hearing aid noise in car | Mayo Clinic Connect
August 21, 2020 - Sometimes when I start my 2005 car, my hearing aids seem to sync with the engine running and create an annoying loud buzz or hum in my ears until I turn the car off. Someone on this site suggested a good simple solution to my problem, but now I can't remember what it was. Help. ... Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Hearing Loss Support Group. ... @bobbiefriend, I'll bet the hearing aids are switching to telecoil mode. This is probably the biggest reason that I tell people to get a MANUEL program to control the telecoil and not let the hearing aids determine when the telecoil should be used (automatic telecoil).

Hearing Aids causing this?
I have a cochlear processor with Bluetooth that connects to my phone. I also have an app on my phone that can control my processor. Does your phone have the app or can you download one? If so, maybe change the settings? Or go to your car Bluetooth and disable or delete the connection between your car and hearing aid, or on your phone disable the connection between your phone and hearing aid More on reddit.com

I just picked up my new hearing aids and now my car sounds like it needs repair! | Hampden Hearing Center
February 25, 2022 - When you start using hearing aids, your brain is faced with many sounds that you think you should not be hearing. You need to become reacquainted with environmental sounds. It helps to have someone with you to ask, “What is that sound?” or “Has this car always made that noise?” If it has always made that noise, you will get used to it.

r/AndroidAuto on Reddit: Hearing Aids causing this?
June 14, 2025 -

So when I'm wireless or wired to my car, android auto with navigation and music all working fine, driving down the road.

This has happened on any make or model vehicle that I can connect my phone/Ha's/A.A. to regardless of make or model.

Randomly though more often when someone calls in the middle or I try to make a phone call, my hearing aids will ding like they've lost or gained a connection and then Android Auto goes berzerk. The song will skip like I'm listening to a vinyl record. Navigation will get caught in a stuttering loop, and the phone call goes... nowhere. It'll say on my phone that I'm connected to my hearing aids for the call, but they're not coming through, nor the car, nor the phone handset itself. This is a problem that is getting worse and worse over time and I don't know what to do. Currently when this happens, I have to restart my phone mid-drive and cross my fingers.

I have:
Phonak audeo P50 hearing aids. (These are not connect to my car/head unit in any way.)

Coros Pace 3 smart watch (Not always involved, but seems to increase the odds of this happening.

Google pixel 6

I'm dying for suggestions to fix this. I drive for a part time job and find myself in sticky situations over this almost daily.
