Is there a way to prioritize or make Bluetooth device connections "sticky" on an Android phone?

I have a Samsung Android phone with about a half dozen paired Bluetooth devices. The devices are: My car, a Wireless Android Auto dongle, hearing aids, a Bluetooth headset, my Android watch, and another car. I have had a problem for years now that I can't find a solution for: While using Android Auto in my car (USB hard wired or AA wireless), the phone will randomly switch Bluetooth connections to one of the other paired audio devices, which spontaneously causes the Android Auto connection to drop. For example, the Bluetooth connection will drop from the car and switch to my hearing aids, resulting in Android Auto disconnecting ... until it may randomly switch connections back to the car and Android Auto reconnects. I have also had issues where a phone call initially connected via my hearing aids will randomly drop after a few minutes to my Android watch. Is there a way to prioritize Bluetooth connections on an Android phone - or make the connections "sticky" - so that an established Bluetooth connection doesn't randomly drop to another device? Thanks!
