With the Nucleus Smart App, you can:

- Activate audio streaming on compatible Android devices (see Compatibility section below)
- Adjust the volume, treble/bass and sensitivity settings (if enabled by your healthcare professional) on your Nucleus 7 Sound Processor
- Adjust the volume of your Cochlear True Wireless™ devices

- Track time in spent in speech and number of coil offs

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

I have several users set up on my phone and when I switch back to the user that has the smart app installed the app reports that "Bluetooth is turned off" despite the fact that Bluetooth reconnects automatically. When I open the app it remains stuck on the "Bluetooth is turned off" message even after Bluetooth has reconnected and is working fine. The only way to get the app to work again seems to be to force stop it.

App works great but I am BEGGING for y'all to put a quick access button on main screen for microphones to turn on and off quickly. I turn my microphones off often to hear phone calls better or to stream without distraction and all the clicking to get to it is an inconvenience.

Works fine with my Cochlear Nucleus CI paired with my Resound acoustic hearing aid in my other ear. Initial pairing required some fiddling and help from my Audiologist. Will lose pairing to one or the other for no apparent reason. The Music setting allows for pumping up the treble, which is not needed for most of us, and the bass, which most of us do need. As a guitarist, I know the hearing of my guitar will get better with time. No fault to the App; that's the nature of CI. Battery % is poor.
