Note: To access the complete functionality of the Nucleus Smart App you will need a Cochlear Account, or you can try the app in Demo Mode.
To use the Nucleus Smart App, you first need to pair your Nucleus 7 Sound Processor with a compatible mobile device. See in-app instructions or visit our support page www.nucleussmartapp.com/android/pair.

Compatibility: To use the Nucleus Smart App for Android, your device will need to run Android 8 or later and support Bluetooth 4.0 and later. Audio streaming is only available on Android devices where the device manufacturer has enabled Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA) technology. For a list of verified devices or to learn more about devices that support audio streaming visit https://www.cochlear.com/compatibility.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The Nucleus Smart App only uses your GPS when it detects your Nucleus 7 Sound Processor has been lost or turned off, and does not constantly track your location.

Ratings and reviews

The app is life changing when it's working. But it often says it cannot detect my devices even though the phone is streaming to them fine. Not a big deal, except that I can't change the settings on my devices if the app isn't detecting them. Ever since the recent update to Android 16, the app has been completely flaky, but so has Bluetooth on general, so I suspect it's not the app's fault.

This App is great! The only thing that might help it be even better is if there could be like a slider that could control the streaming volume, but even the current volume Up or Down button works very well!. Update... Still working great! although it would be helpful if it could tell me or help me with what I need to do in order to help my phone connect with my hearing aid to my TV streamer.

Took over 16 attempts to pair bilateral devices, finally get them to connect, only to have them no longer connected 10 mins later. Wife's phone has the same issue to where the devices just drop. Kicker is when I can't connect to said devices I can locate them just fine. It's ashame to have so much effort go into the devices, to fall flat on the app. This could be so useful, but it more trouble then its worth. And for what I was billed for the implants, I expected better on this app.
