I have two Plantronics BackBeat FIT earbuds I connect to an iPhone XR.
Sometimes the hearing seems to go out on one side or the other.  At
first, I could pause the playing, and upon resume it would work again
for awhile.  Initially, I thought the earbuds might be going bad, so I
would switch to the other set.  Finally, it happened on both sets and I
decided to shut down phone and restart after a few minutes.  This did
fix the problem and both sets worked fine.  It started the behavior
again yesterday, and I'm starting to think it could be the devices
bluetooth radio going out.  Can't remember how long I've had this phone,
but it must be 5 or 6 years.
Anyone heard of this happening before, and is there any options to fix
it?  Is there anyway to check the connectivity with a computer that
would do some testing?

I've not had this with my phone, but I have with my Mac and Cambridge Audio
ear buds. If I'm on a longish call they sometimes just drop out.

I just put this down to BT not being a very solid specification. I and many
others have all sorts of problems.
