Mobile apps for hearing aids

Follow the steps:

1. Finding Your Hearing Aid App
2. Check your hearing aid packaging or user manual: The app name should be clearly indicated.
3. Visit the manufacturer's website: Look for a "Support" or "Downloads" section where you can find the app.
4. Search your smartphone's app store: Type in your hearing aid brand name to find their app.

To determine if your phone is hearing aid compatible (HAC), follow these steps 

Look for the HAC Rating:

• Phones with hearing aid compatibility will have an "M" (microphone) and "T" (telecoil) rating, typically listed on the phone's packaging or user manual.
• Ratings range from M1 to M4 (higher is better) and T1 to T4. Phones rated M3/T3 or higher are generally suitable for most hearing aids. 

Try the Phone in Store:

•  Many retailers allow you to test phones with your hearing aids to ensure clear sound quality without interference.

Search Online:

•  Look for "HAC" or "hearing aid compatible" in the phone's technical specifications on the manufacturer's website.

Consult Your Hearing Care Professional:

•  They can help identify phones that work well with your hearing aids, especially if your hearing aids support Bluetooth.

1. Open the app: Find your hearing aid manufacturer's app on your smartphone.
2. Adjust settings: Control the volume, sound programs (like speech or music), bass, and treble. 
3. Personalize your sound: Save your preferred settings to enhance the sound in different environments (like restaurants or quiet rooms).
4. Find your hearing aids: If you misplace them, use the app's locator feature to track them down.
5. Connect to devices: Stream audio from your phone, TV, or other devices directly to your hearing aids for richer sound.
6. Remote adjustments: Some apps let your audiologist adjust your hearing aid settings remotely for optimal hearing.
