### 2/5 — Pas réactif

*2026-08-09*

Appli pas réactive.

### 2/5 — Streaming cuts out constantly

*2026-07-21*

### 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

### 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

### 2/5 — Poor volume control when raising and lowering

*2025-12-17*

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. 
NO RESPECT for 
CONSUMER!

**Developer response:** Dear nofgood, we apologize that you didn’t receive a reply to your email, and thank you for your feedback. If you’re open to it, we’d really like to help you directly. Please reach out to the support team at appsupport@bernafon.com mentioning the model of your hearing aids and the model of the phone. They will be glad to help. Kind Regards, Bernafon

### 2/5 — Peu de fonctionnalités

*2025-11-29*

Trop peu de fonctionnalités comparé à mes appareils précédents et son appli chez STARKEY

### 4/5 — Anwenderwunsch

*2025-11-03*

Es wäre schön wenn man die Reihenfolge (Anzeige in der App) der Programme selber einstellen oder zumindest über den Akustiker einstellen lassen könnte.

### 2/5 — App ist sehr unkomfortabel

*2025-08-11*

Leider ist mit Löschung der alten App ein sehr unkomfortables Handling mit der aktuellen App verbunden.
Die Kommunikation muss jeden Tag neu gestartet werden, obwohl das Mobiltelefon nicht ausgeschaltet wird. Dann dauert der Verbindungssufbau lange, viel länger als bei der alten App.

### 2/5 — Needs work.

*2025-08-08*

App has to constantly reconnect to the hearing aids. That takes less than 30sec but feels like forever, and the background when u go to adjust your aids is a harsh bright white screen that interrupts any moment.

**Developer response:** Dear 2Whitty2, thank you for your feedback. 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. They will be glad to help. Kind Regards, Bernafon

### 3/5 — App not working properly

*2025-07-13*

The latest update is erratic. It loses its connection, changes the setting and is driving me nuts. I have deleted and reloaded the app but that does not work for long. Don’t use it if you can.
New update. After several more deletes and reinstalls along with changing batteries twice the app finally settled down and worked properly. I will give it one more star.

**Developer response:** Dear waxhawboy, we're sorry to hear you're having trouble controlling your hearing aids with the new app. 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. They will be glad to help. Kind Regards, Bernafon

### 2/5 — Lacks precision Crude

*2025-06-17*

The first thing is battery life indication. A joke. One day it says 70% then 24 hours later it’s 100% and the day after 20%. Not accurate.

Next … you have a frequency equaliser for streaming but not for normal use … why ? If the facility is there then why can’t you adjust for normal listening?

It is very basic. The only worthwhile functions are controlled left / right balance and the find me thing which is slow and sticky but works if you are sensible and patient.

**Developer response:** Dear Jonti007, thanks for your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with the battery indicator and equalizer settings. 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. They will be glad to help. Kind Regards, Bernafon

### 2/5 — Die neue Version ist schlechter als die alte

*2025-06-11*

Seid ich die neue Version geladen habe, hab ich laufend Probleme mit der Verbindung zu meinen Hörgeräten. Das gabs bei der alten Version nicht. Wenn ich daran denke wie viel die Hörgeräte gekostet haben ist das nicht zu akzeptieren. Ich habe ein iPhone 13 mit der neuesten Betriebssoftware iOS 18.5. Daran kann es nicht liegen. Also liebe Programmierer bessert da unbedingt nach.

### 2/5 — Kein Zugewinn gegenüber EasyControl

*2025-05-23*

Man fragt, was den zwangsweisen Wechsel rechtfertigt und kommt zum Schluss, dass er wohl allein im Interesse des Anbieters liegt. Tatsächlich liegt für Nutzer ein Rückschritt vor: Die App lässt sich nicht automatisch ausrichten auf dem IPad.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Katastrophe

*2026-01-02*

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

### 1/5 — Lautstärken Regelung von Umgebungsgeräusche Reduzierung funktioniert nicht mit TV Adapter

*2025-11-05*

Wenn der Ton über das Bernafon TV Modul gestreamt  wird, kann man zwar über das App auf Tv stellen dan wird der Ton auch rechts und links gestreamt es werden auch zwei Schieber angezeigt aber die Lautstärken Regelung funktioniert nicht.

### 1/5 — Sehr schlecht

*2025-09-09*

Meine Geräte lassen sich überhaupt nicht mehr koppeln.

### 1/5 — New app

*2025-09-06*

Is not backward compatible!  I have to replace my seven year old hearing aid that works perfectly!

**Developer response:** Dear Unhappy DJB, thank you for your feedback. 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. They will be glad to help. Kind Regards, Bernafon

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2025-06-14*

I opened my Bernafon app and it said I had to update to a new app. I did so and now the app won’t pair with my hearing aids. It’s totally useless

**Developer response:** Dear What the guck33, we’re sorry to hear the new app isn’t pairing with your hearing aids. Please try restarting both your phone and hearing aids, then open the app again to reconnect. If it still doesn’t work,  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. They will be glad to help. Kind Regards, Bernafon

### 1/5 — Unvollständig entwickelt

*2025-06-14*

Ich hatte vorherige Version. War gut, hat alles funktioniert. Wie kann man eine unvollständig entwickelte App auf den Markt bringen, wenn die  Alte funktionstüchtig war. Wie schon viele Vorgänger geschrieben haben, funktioniert die Kopplung schlecht bis manchmal gar nicht.

### 1/5 — Mein Hörgerät nicht kompatibel

*2025-05-23*

Hörgeräte aus heiterem Himmel plötzlich nicht mehr mit der App kompatibel. Frechheit nie wieder!

### 1/5 — Obsolescence

*2025-05-21, version 1.5.2*

Unfortunately my Hearing Aids are no longer compatible with this new version and I can’t use the old one as it’s not available now, so this leaves me with no options so I’m worse off.

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2025-05-16*

Das neue Update mag Zerrna 5 nicht erkennen und verwalten, vorherige App nicht mehr verfügbar. Also zukünftig ohne App. Schade.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Wir verstehen, wie frustrierend es ist, die alte App zu verlieren. Wenn Sie weitere Hilfe benötigen, wenden Sie sich bitte an das Support-Team unter appsupport@bernafon.com und nennen Sie uns Ihr Hörgeräte- und Ihr Smartphone-Modell. Wir helfen Ihnen gerne weiter. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Bernafon

### 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.

### 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,

### 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,

### 5/5 — Heather Cochrane

*2025-11-24, version 1.6.1*

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.

### 5/5 — La nueva versión

*2025-10-28, version 1.6.0*

Le subí y la barra regresa en medio y ya no se que volumen tiene.

### 5/5 — Hearing Aids

*2025-09-08*

*2025-06-13*
