Ratings and reviews

Meh. The app works for setting volume and programming modes for my Viron 7 hearing aids. It doesn't do streaming, but that's a hardware limitation; not the apps fault. The biggest problem is that you can't close the app. It has a persistent notification, which is generally considered poor UX.

Have to pair hearing aides at least once a day. I can turn the volume down but it suddenly shoots to 16! The app is slow to open for me. The old app worked great, if given a choice, I would still be using the old app.

I've tried to pair my hearing aids, and it's saying they need updating, does this mean another cost, just because you updated the app. you've heard that saying ( if it's not broke, than, leave it alone" or words to that effect.
