Hearing Remote

I have used this app for a week as of now. It is simple and easy for me to use. One thing I would actually recommend and find beneficial is to be able to have this connect with my Apple health app, in which the steps and time would be nice to have. Along with this it would be able to connect to the decibels in helping with the sound.

These are my second bout of hearing aids. The sound is unbelievable. The new ear piece with side ports are much better in avoiding wax plugs. The batteries are too small for a guy with large hands and fingers to change frequently. I wish the batteries were 13 instead of p312. I can see the smaller hearing aids are more marketable at the expense of functionality. I chose batteries over rechargeable due to using my hearing aids at all times except when sleeping. I’m usually streaming or listening through the TV box or using the phone. Rechargeable hearing aids don’t last long enough and when I’m not home without house current I can change out the batteries without having to recharge. The microphone in the hearing aids are an added feature so I can’t talk or Zoom on line without having the phone close to my mouth. Now for the stuff I don’t like. The application is in need of work. The blue tooth connectivity is a constant problem. I find I am constantly having to reconnect to my phone. I have totally deleted the application and downloaded it from the App Store. I have removed the detected hearing aids from the blue tooth and reconnected on the app. I cannot correct the constant disconnect problem of my blue tooth to both hearing aids. I am going to contact my audiologist again. The smaller batteries last about a day and a half to two days. I feel like I’m replacing batteries constantly. My previous application had the GPS ability to go to the setting that I preferred for that location. For instance when I go to church my hearing aids would go to church setting as soon as I pulled into the parking lot. I hope the feature can be upgraded into the app.

Sonova AG wrote this app and the sister app for Unitron. My hearing aids are made by Unitron, but are sold under the Audicus brand. Same hearing aids, yet the Hearing Remote app is V 3.02 and hasn’t been updated in over 5 months. The Unitron app is V 3.03 and was updated 2 months ago. No idea what the enhancements were, but it hardly seems right does it? And to boot, it’s buggy. Under “Programs” there is an entry for “Bluetooth Streaming” which allows you to adjust for “Media” or “Surroundings.” It basically seems to be a bass and treble adjustment – when you can access it. If you visit “My hearing aids > My programs” it’s the last entry in the list. I’ll be darned if I know how I ever got to it 3 or 4 times, but I did. I’ve spent the better part of an afternoon trying to replicate the efforts that took me to it those few times. So come on Sonova AG - don’t treat Audicus like a red-headed stepchild. Keep the apps in sync and fix the bugs. And improve it.
