Love my hearing aids. They’re very comfortable.
Terrible Bluetooth
Although the hearing aids were OK for hearing per se, the company touts the Bluetooth capabilities for phone calls, music and other applications. On this feature, they fail largely.
I have struggled with the Bluetooth connection cutting in and out in both ears since I purchased the earphones and nothing I’ve done has improved the situation. I have had to revert to standard earphones for Bluetooth because the hearing aids are virtually useless and so aggravating, it’s not worth it.

Bernafon
Très bon appareil et un service après vente au top
Very good
Tanks
Good not Best
I had paid $$$$ for Phonac and was enjoying them (needing a little tweaking here or there) but the inflated price was the deterrent when I saw that Sam’s Club had Bernafon on sale for <$1700. That was the defining moment that I decided to return my Phonac (still being in the trial period).
Things that I like about Bernafon:
1. PRICE
2. Small size
3. Bluetooth
4. Volume
5. Easy availability to see the hearing aid specialist at Sam’s Club.
6. Long battery life.
Things I don’t like about Bernafon:
1. The crescent like tubes that sit just outside the ear curling up the natural shape of the ear, the pieces bothered me and I’m very sensitive to skin breakdown, so I removed them.
2. Now the audio pieces that are supposed to sit within the ear canal keep falling out no matter how many times I put them back in. I talked to the Hearing specialist at Sam’s Club thinking I might just need a larger tip, but she said no “they would feel like you have something stuffed down your ear” (she didn’t even allow me to try a different tip).
3. The phone must be within arm’s length in order for the caller to hear you.
4. Less than 30 feet before Bluetooth starts cutting off if you’re listening to music, book or receiving a phone call.
5. No sound adjustment button or taps to answer or end calls, phone must be in reach.
6. No TV Bluetooth option unless you put your phone near the TV or lecturer so you can hear it louder (but you can’t be too far away)
7. No spatial quality to determine where a noise is coming from.
8. When visiting at Sam’s Club it is SO NOISY there that it is truly hard to even hear the specialist and there is no real privacy…gee-whiz, get a portable curtain!
All in all, Bernafon works and will take care of mild hearing loss. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that Phonac has, but I guess you get what you pay for.
I will be looking into other companies as I am still in my trial period.

Easy to Use
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.

Streaming cuts out constantly
Can’t keep hearing aids consistently connected to phone when streaming!

Excellent so convenient and blue tooth connectivity is great
Great Value
I have had several brands of hearing aids for the past decade. This brand seems to be working just fine with minimal maintenance.
Poor Connection
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

Intérêt ?
Perso je vois pas bien l’intérêt de cette appli. Aucun accès direct et rapide aux fonctionnalités, des gadgets.
Needs 3 upgrades
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.

Katastrophe
Also die neue App muss dringend überarbeitet werden… Oder gebt uns die alte App wieder zurück die war super ohne langes warten auf Verbindungen oder sonstiges …. Die neue dauert ewig und ist sehr langsam und hängt sich häufig auf.
Auch mit dem verbinden klappt nicht ständig, oder dann nur ein Gerät und und und …. Und nein ich habe kein altes Handy , ( iPhone 17 Pro ) alles auf dem aktuellen Stand

Poor volume control when raising and lowering
You can set the volume control on the phone app to your surroundings.
But when you have to change the volume on your hearing aid the right and left aids change from your original settings for left and right and make them the same volume. This is no good! Also when you change programs from the aid, the left and right volumes both go to the same volume, not what was preset. This is no good for you have to use the phone app to reset your individual volumes.
I sent email to bernafon and never got a reply.

I’m finding your app intermittent and annoying. It seems to have happened fairly recently like in the last couple of months. I rely on the app for hearing so much as I attend lots of meetings and often am unable to adjust them so I can hear. It’s very disappointing. I’m hoping you can do something about it.
