Searching the internet indicates the problem might be with my iPhone 7 Plus – the technology built into this iPhone may not be completely compatible. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern for when this occurs. The sound is not 100% perfect because sometimes I get crackling and pops in the hearing aids when streaming Music or podcasts– not frequently but often enough that I would like to find the cure. I have this app and the hearing aids enabled on both my iPhone and my iPad, and I can move back-and-forth between devices simply by disabling Bluetooth on the device I am leaving. You can even use iOS’ sound equalizer to output sound tuned to your particular preference. The sound clarity and bass is hard to believe when you first hear it. I was blown away by my iTunes streaming music directly to my hearing aids directly from my iPhone 7+. I am using this app with Costco's Signature 8.0 hearing aids. Most likely of the time, the volume is restored when Solitaire is closed, but sometimes, although triple-clicking shows it to be restored, it isn’t and the only way to restore the volume is to turn the hearing aids off and back on. Sometimes the amount of change is variable. I’ve tested all my apps and the worst offender seems to be MobilityWare’s Solitaire-why should a Solitaire program have any reason to do so? When opened, the app decreases the hearing aid volume sometimes it affects both hearing aids, sometimes only one.

This may not be a problem with the app, but I find that other apps on my phone make unwanted volume changes to my hearing aids. As an engineer, I would like to have more personal control of frequency response, microphone directionality, etc.Ģ. Even road noise while driving make conversation with passengers difficult going to the other preprogrammed profiles doesn’t help. I still find noisy environments such as restaurants difficult.

It is very nice to be able to control my hearing aids with my iPhone, but I’ve had a couple of problems:ġ.
