Ratings and reviews

So far, so good. I've not had any problems with the Bluetooth connection, and the app is very easy to use. A mode to stream sound to the hearing aids (at a settable level) would be good. I don't know the BLE/PP hearing aids' BT specs, and whether they can handle streaming or if the app sounds are sent as a single sample that is played in a loop, nor how battery life would be effected - after all they're hearing aids, not personal hi-fi. Overall, though, it's a great app.

The app is very straightforward and easy to use. The only major problem is that I have to uninstall and reinstall about every 2 to 3 months because the app just stops working which is difficult because then I have to reconnect it with my hearing aids in the charger. So if this happens at work, I'm pretty much stuck without being able to change any settings. additionally, it will just randomly disconnect from my hearing aids for a few seconds, which is odd.

First time I've downloaded this app since having hearing aids fitted 10 days ago. For the first couple of days it worked really well but the app soon started to get annoying. Firstly it continually lost connection with my hearing aids then I noticed that I needed to charge my phone more frequently, even though I had altered the settings on my phone to limit the app draining the battery. Sadly I'm going to have to uninstall this app, as it's become more trouble than it's worth, shame really.
