### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2026-08-07*

The app is great and easy to get use to. 
The hearing aids are as well. My first pair of hearing aids so I was nervous. The app is a great help.

### 2/5 — Streaming cuts out constantly

*2026-07-21*

Can’t keep hearing aids consistently connected to phone when streaming!

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for your feedback and we're sorry you're having trouble keeping your hearing aids connected while streaming. We will need additional information to provide support. Please, reach out to the support team at appsupport@bernafon.com mentioning the model of your hearing aids and the model of the phone.

### 5/5 — John

*2026-07-02*

Excellent so convenient and blue tooth connectivity is great

### 5/5 — Great Value

*2026-06-08*

I have had several brands of hearing aids for the past decade.  This brand seems to be working just fine with minimal maintenance.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re very happy to hear that your hearing aids are working well for you and require only minimal maintenance. Your support means a lot to us. Thank you for choosing Bernafon and for sharing your experience! Kind regards,

### 3/5 — Poor Connection

*2026-05-28*

I wear Bernadine hearing Aids, I’m deaf without the aids. The Benetton constantly drops out disconnecting my hearing aids. It’s really hard when I can’t hear people on the phone, the sound is also not good for the other person on the phone, they say they can’t hear me. I’m disappointed as I have to have fully functioning hearing aids for everyday conversation. Please tell me what to do. I’ve removed the app and reinstalled several times. Chris Morrow

### 5/5 — They work great !

*2026-05-24*

They do everything they say. 
Just sucks none of y insurance providers cover hearing coverage. 
Not even the city of Kingston benefits program. Or sun life long term disability insurance, or CPP. 
Not even batteries.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy to hear that your hearing aids and the Bernafon app are meeting your expectations. We understand your frustration regarding insurance coverage and related costs. While coverage decisions are made by insurance providers, we appreciate you sharing your experience with us. Kind regards,

### 1/5 — Intérêt ?

*2026-05-16*

Perso je vois pas bien l’intérêt de cette appli. Aucun accès direct et rapide aux fonctionnalités, des gadgets.

### 3/5 — Needs 3 upgrades

*2026-02-06*

1.When using the tv box, the volume always goes back to it’s high volume, it should stay where I set it.
2.The app takes too long to load and then to find the hearing aids, most of the time you have to open and close the battery door for the app to find them! 
3.It is very inaccurate when it comes to the percentage of the battery level. Sometimes after putting a new battery, it shows 80%! Sad.

**Developer response:** Hi KittyKatBlue! Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry you’re having these issues. We’re working on improving the app’s connection, battery accuracy, and volume settings. Your comments help us make the app better, and we appreciate you letting us know. Kind regards,

### 2/5 — Equalizer

*2026-01-21*

Schade das die Funktion Equalizer bei Modell Entra ausgeschlossen ist 
werde ein anderes Modell nehmen
