| 2022-09-05 |  | | Bose discontinued the hearphone.. this was a major mistake. There is no other available hearing assist device so powerful for severe hearing impaired people. My hearing loss was too severe for their new hearing aid line, but not for the headphone. Cumbersum; sure a little, but the price and effectivenes made it a winner. |
| 2022-07-27 |  | | Easy to use, but I wish the aids had more frequency control, namely separate bass, midrange and treble adjustments. I think Bose wanted to keep it extremely simple (a single adjustment for frequency control is as simple as it gets) but most people can handle bass, midrange and treble on a stereo, why not on hearing aids too? I need a boost on bass and treble, and there's no way to do that. Still, I get better speech discrimination with these than with any prior aids I've used, so I'm happy. |
| 2022-05-29 |  | | Doesn't work with the Bose hearing aids. This isn't surprising since after 10 or so years of updating the headphones app it still never reliably works, it disconnects and forgets the headphones, doesn't play well with any other Bluetooth devices and the hearing aids app is basically the same. Either this technology is inherently impossible to apply or the engineers at Bose are super incompetent after a decade of trying. |
| 2022-02-16 |  | | Just received my hearing aids... The app works great. I was hoping for more volume... It did help when I changed to closed buds. They are very clear, but I have volume all the way up and wish they were louder. I was disappointed in the app EQ. You can only choose treble or bass, and when you do, you give up the other. I've had other hearing apps that let you choose a 5 place EQ setting. I hope they upgrade to that soon. |
| 2022-01-01 |  | | I'm disappointed that customization of sound is just adjusting volume and having one scale that slides between treble and bass. Little noises are louder but the voices I want to hear aren't. Also, my phone disconnects from the hearing aids every time I try to use the app. The only thing it suggests is taking the battery out and putting it back in. I've found restarting my phone also works and is easier but still not acceptable and pretty frustrating for trying to get the hearing aids adjusted. |
| 2021-12-02 |  | | So many things wrong with this app. Since the latest update, I can no longer disconnect my Bose Hearphones from the app. When I try to disconnect, it immediately reconnects. It answers incoming phone calls automatically, even before the phone has finished announcing who the call is from. This is crazy. I used to be able to control when I answered, and more important, if I answered at all or declined the call. |
| 2021-11-13 |  | | I'm about 3 months into using the Bose hearing aids and app. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HEARING AIDS! Great value for the price. Kudos to Bose for creating the product and disrupting this broken, disfunctional, duopolistic Industry. As for the app, the Bluetooth connectivity gets better with each update. I have found that turning Bluetooth off and on fixes the connection; much preferable to opening and closing the battery compartment to restart each hearing aid. |
| 2021-09-16 |  | | The ability of the app seems limited. You can adjust right and left sides, to a point. You can adjust for only front hearing, side, all around. You cannot adjust for loud sounds in general. Bangs, and rattles and screeches will come in hot. You cam adjust outer hearing vs inner. This is the best modifier. Most of the time 95% of time. App works. About 5% is just restart. I could not trade from android to Apple, but android phone to other android phone was successful. |
| 2021-08-21 |  | | The app frequently has trouble connecting with the hearing aids which makes it almost impossible to make changes to the settings on the fly to match my needs. I'm very frustrated so far. The only way I've been able to make the app work with my hearing aids is to remove the hearings aids from my war, open the battery door, shut them, and relaunch the app. Very time consuming when I should be able to launch the app and make adjustments easily. It detracts from my dining and my friends and family. |
| 2021-08-17 |  | | So far I'm impressed. Best aids I've had so far and yes, better than my first 3000.00 pair. This app that goes with it makes them much more user friendly. I can adjust them to my hearing loss and preferences without having to take the time to go in to an audiologist and try to explain how they need adjusted. Wait to go Bose! |
