It took hours for the phone to find my hearing aids. It's been 7 hours and they still aren't connected. I think I've tried everything multiple times with no success. Hearing aids are fine.

Defer to your hearing aid manufacturing website/manual or support on how to pair their device with an Apple product.

I've successfully paired these hearing aids with my iPhone (SE gen. 3) before. (But not quickly.) I don't know why if I'm doing everything the same way that it's not working this time.

philadamlucy ~ What point version of iOS 18 is your iPhone SE 3rd gen running?...

Settings > General > About > iOS Version

And as your iPhone could be >3 years old, it's worth checking for a weak, aging battery which can cause connectivity issues. So...

Does your iPhone SE still have its original battery?

And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging

That implies you bought your SE new (not used) very recently — correct?
