Doesn’t work if other Bluetooth devices are connected

I like the idea of this app but it is almost worthless to me. Whenever I go to use it I’m told that it can’t connect if there is another Bluetooth device connected to my phone. I have a watch which is always connected to my phone via Bluetooth, so this app never works. Alternately I would have to go into settings and disconnect my watch every time I want to use this app to adjust my hearing aids. It is easier to just use the buttons on the aids to change the volume or select a different program, although I can only access programs 1-4 with the buttons - not 5&6.

Could be more intuitive

With no guidance or familiarity with apps in general, it’s challenging to figure out some simple things, like turning your hearing aids on or off with the app. Text should accompany symbols, i.e “Your Aids are On, on standby”, etc. For example, I did not know the sound made when hitting the mid volume mark is the only sound feedback you get. Shouldn’t I hear a sound for each increment that reflects the volume level? It seems like there are many areas that could easily be enhanced in terms of app feedback through the hearing aids. I unndersrand that Seimens makes money on hardware and nothing on software. Better just not to have an app.

For some reason, the app stopped working. The pairing instructions are vague and need more detail. I was able to get connected again by selecting the app and reinstalling it. It feels like beta or even alpha software, but again maybe it is not designed to work with my model.

The app appears unfinished, like development has stopped. Interface on iPhone x looks amateurish. It is hard to tell from the docs whether this app is supposed to work with signia insio 5 px. Maybe it isn’t.

I am a new wearer and have ordered a remote also. I am wondering if Signia would just rather sell an expensive piece of hardware rather than develop software for a smartphone. I would like to have both. There should be a comparison of features available on the remote ad opposed to the app.

Has help greatly!

I recently had a baby and have had constant ringing since that has caused an issue when I went back to work. My ENT never mentioned this app before... I was lucky just by sheer luck to have found it. I had to make an appointment with my ENT to have it activated with my hearing aid. I have been using the app for two weeks now and I can really tell a difference. Of course it will never make to ringing go away but it certainly helps the situation. Being born hearing impaired I know not to expect too much from the app but man I wish I would have had this app all my life. Because I can hear a great difference. I wish I had a little more control of my aid, that is why it got a 4 star rating. But I can say even the doctor I work for has noticed a difference in the amount of things I'm actually hearing now! Thank you for the great help! I hope you keep improving this app!
