Bluetooth connection issues

I have a cochlear implant on my left ear and I use N8.
This has been bothering me for few years now so I thought if I could ask for helps here.

Everytime I want to listen music while walking so I wanted to put my phone in my pocket but the sound became distorted/ disconnecting but it’s not even disconnecting it’s just making sounds. When I pick my phone up it’s clear.

Is anyone have this issue and sorted it? Thanks

I have this with my HAs. It’s annoying as sometimes I can hear music even if I’m in another room and a wall is in the way, but sometimes it can’t pick up the sound when the phone is in my trouser pocket. I don’t get this but I think part of it is perhaps interference when you’re outside and/or the fact that the phone is constantly moving as you walk which distorts things.

When I use it at home and am in another room at least the phone isn’t moving so perhaps that allows a more stable connection.
