Ratings and reviews

Since the latest update the app now won't connect to my 9040 aid without being fully connected via the BT menu of the phone. Problem is I don't want calls and media to be streamed through it, but I do still want to be able to control modes and volume. Now there is no way to do one without the other! Samsung S23 Ultra.

The app has only three modes. General, Speech in Noise, and Automobile. Other hearing aids are much more customizable. My biggest complaint though is that the volume settings are changed to the default settings EVERY time you charge the hearing aids. Every time I get them out of the charger, I have to get my phone, open the app, and change the volume settings.

Good, but needs fixing. Since the most recent update (5/28/26), the app has become a serious battery drain. The Bluetooth connection, which never gave me any problem before, is also jankier. I'm hoping a quick update will fix these issues.
