Ratings and reviews

Handy way to change the volume, especially if you only need one hearing aid. However, it has 2 shortcomings: 1. The background is too bright to use in theaters and other dark places. 2. If you try to change the volume with the slide but the volume on your device is too low, the slide stays at the level you tried to change to instead of returning to the level the hearing aid is actually set to. The position of the slide should always agree with the level the hearing aid is actually set at.

It used to work sometimes better than others. It was not intuitive. None of my questions are "frequently asked". I see that others have complained about an update. I'm not sure if my problems are from an update or not. But it doesn't seem to connect now. I'm unable to run setup so spatial coordinator doesn't appear. I'm in a restaurant and removing my hearing aids the ambient noise is ferocious. I can read lips better than comprehend what I'm hearing and I'm not great at reading lips.

The app is simple and easy to use. It would be nice to know all of the options available for the app. One of the main things this app needs is access to the EQ settings for each hearing aid. Currently, it requires an office visit with the Audiologist to change the settings. Even when I have them changed they may sound good in the office. But, as soon as I get to a place that has varying acoustics then my aids don't sound right.
