This app does connect my hearing aid with my Pixel 3. However, it makes me turn off my Bluetooth earbud 1st, something the previous app I used (which doesn't work anymore after a hearing aid firmware update) didn't require. The layout and features aren't as nice as the previous app, but it's working which is more than I can say for this company's other apps. Siemens has a way to go in making their apps more robust and easy to use.

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.

There are several problems with this app. First, the volume control is very inconsistent. Low is too low, higher is too high, and middle settings don't work. Second, the spatial configuration doesn't hold. It works for a few minutes, then goes back to a general setting. Finally, I get random messages from the app that the volume is too low or too high for the configuration to work. Overall, in my opinion, it's a terrible app.
