How the TONELINK app works
The TONELINK app uses your phone's speaker to transmit acoustic control signals for the hearing aids. You have to pair your hearing aids with your phone the first time you use the app. Just follow the steps, and please note that you might need to adjust your phone volume for the app to work.
To ensure correct and safe operations:
*This app is made for people with compatible WIDEX hearing aids fitted by a hearing care professional.
*The sounds played by the phone may be audible by you and other people. The sound might be perceived as annoying by some people.
*You can adjust the volume of these sounds by adjusting your phone volume to a level that is not annoyingly high and not too low for the hearing aids to pick up.
*Do not use the app while the phone is directly by your or another person’s ears.
*Do not use the app while connected to an external audio source.
*This App is not tested on animals. Stop using the app if you notice any annoyed behavior from your pets when using it.

Ratings and reviews

I personally use this app as a Bluetooth connection, from my hearing aides, to my phone. Instruction manual and information passed on by my physician at Bloom Hearing very easy to follow and use. The app has a wide range of options, from volume adjustment, to full surround sound, front or back only sound receiving. You also have the option of only hearing from one ear, great for that selective hearing, when you can see the lips moving, but don't want to hear the words. Life changer. 5 out of 5.

If there was a word for less then basic, it would best discribe this app. No IQ, no noise reduction. Just adjusting volume and left and right? Not even the soundscapes are preinstalled. Not what I expect when I spend 4k on a set of hearing aids. This in a world of apps for anything.

This app I've only had for 5 days and it's now the second time I've had to uninstall then reinstall for it to work. Most frustrating since the volume in my hearing aid seems very low (despite a new battery put in). The rating of 3.8 didn't inspire confidence and I am waiting on my remote, which is on back order. Please fix this issue, as it is extremely annoying. Thank you.
