Also improvement in speech clarity is mediocre.. ### 2/5 — Bose has abandoned users!😕 *2024-11-27, version 3.0.7* These hearing aids were pretty good. But Bose has discontinued them. And what's really bad it has thrown those of us who purchased from them under the bus. It won’t support us won’t even talk to you about the app. 🙄They just refer you to the company that is using the technology….Lexie. And all that company can do is offered to sell you new hearing aids at somewhat of a discount. ### 3/5 — Mixed bag *2024-11-04, version 3.0.7* BE WARE. I recently received a notice that as of the beginning of November they will no longer provide software updates for my hearing aides. My hearing aides are about 3 years old or maybe less. If I have known they would obsolete my aides this quickly I would have shopped elsewhere. They still are working and did not expect this. I am not at all happy with abode at this point. $850 is still a lot of money. ### 2/5 — Not seen Bose *2023-11-02, version 3.0.7* Many problems for conect with the app. And the most problem with the sound like saxo make insoportable screchers , some times I need take out ### 3/5 — Screaming *2023-05-07, version 3.0.7* I have tried everything!!!! How do I stop these things from screaming in my ears , it's when I'm moving around ( blood pressure perhaps ) when not active there pretty good much better then the 5 k$. Pairs I have, any advice?. ### 4/5 — Update not for startup connection *2022-08-09, version 3.0.7* Update not for startup connection after all ### 4/5 — New ears *2022-07-08, version 2.2.3* Too early to fully evaluate. Have only worn for a few hours. First impression is good. Only drawback may be is I need boost at both end of spectrum. I can enhance treble, but only at the expense of bass. ### 4/5 — Hearing aid *2022-06-29, version 2.2.3* I just got today really like them just wish there was a way to Bluetooth my phone through them to talk on phone while wearing them ### 2/5 — Bose hearing units *2022-06-24, version 2.2.3* Got them today. Downloaded app. Volume wheel does not seem to make a difference. Not happy. ### 4/5 — App not connected *2022-06-20, version 2.2.3* I wanted to give this app a 5 but due to failure to connect I must give it a 4. My hearing aid’s show connected on my Bluetooth settings but the app keeps trying to connect without success. ### 5/5 — I can hear but one won’t stay in my ear *2022-06-17* After everyone nagging me to get hearing aids I decided to try Bose because I wanted to see what a mainstream electronics company would produce. I can definitely hear and that’s amazing but the earpiece continually pops out of my ear canal. I asked for a longer wire and that seemed to help but lately not so much. My left ear is a number 2 wire and number 2 rubber thing. My right ear is a number 3 wire and number 3 rubber thing. Large. I would appreciate any advice. I do where glasses so there’s some adjustment there. ### 5/5 — Had them for about two hours *2022-06-07, version 2.2.3* Working great 😄 Took awhile to learn how to put in settings, but I am done and it is great. Really hearing again 🤗🤗 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App no longer works p *2024-12-26, version 3.0.7* The Bose hearing aids were decent , but it now that they are no longer supporting this device they’ve gone and disabled the app. Paid close to $700 for this product and can no longer use its features. Standard procedure for end of support typically means no more updates, but the app still functions. That’s not the case here. I will never buy another product from Bose, ### 1/5 — App support being discontinued *2024-10-29, version 3.0.7* The hearing aids were quite expensive and now the app is being discontinued after several years. The hearing aids will lose all features, but volume. I cannot find any support for this situation through Bose. ### 1/5 — Not compatible with IOS 18 *2024-09-29, version 3.0.7* Terminates a few second after started. Unusable now. ### 1/5 — Absolute one of the worst apps I have ever used *2024-05-27, version 3.0.7* Takes several tries to connect. So much so that I often give up. Once ima. Our moon it actually works. Trash app. ### 1/5 — Bose QC II *2024-01-09, version 3.0.7* How do I get the latest version of your products and apps like these are not available for it. Bose continues to disappoint with no tracking, no live listening, and now I can’t even you this app.. Apple earbuds is going to be the move. Thumbs down Bose. ### 1/5 — App *2023-12-17, version 3.0.7* Every time I try to download the app for bose it downloads the older app for the first set I have had before I bought the bose and it just pisses me off ### 1/5 — SETTINGS *2023-02-22, version 3.0.7* WHAT IS GOING ON? THE APPP IS NOT NWORKING. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2022-10-15* I was very excited for these hearing aids, I’ve always thought Bose was top of the line for sound quality. I already had Hearglow hearing aids but there is quite a lot of feedback with them so when I saw that Bose made hearing aids I thought they would be a much better quality. They were almost double the cost but I can’t hear nearly as well with them. The volume doesn’t go very high and although it’s better than wearing no aid at all I still have a lot of difficulty hearing with these in. I bought them quite a while ago but because the Hearglow worked so much better for me I didn’t use them regularly until just a couple of days ago when there was an accident with the others and I had no choice. The Bose hearing aids do have more features, but they’re features that don’t really make a difference to me as far as being able to hear better. Adjusting the treble doesn’t seem to help and although being able to mute them is kind of cool- I’ve never needed to mute them. I’m not writing this review to be a jerk, I genuinely hope the feedback will help make some good improvements if new models are designed. I am disappointed with this purchase and feel like the only thing a higher price tag got me was a name brand. There’s definitely room for improvement and I hope a lot of improvements are made. ### 1/5 — Quit connecting to app *2022-05-04, version 2.2.3* Units worked great for the first couple months. Now I have to re set the units, wipe them off of my iPhone Bluetooth and then restart from beginning!! It is a daily or multiple time daily to get to connect. When they do work, you have to follow a specific connect process, if not, you have to start from beginning!!! Very frustrating, definitely not up to past Bose quality… ### 1/5 — Bose app *2022-02-22, version 2.2.3* My phones Bluetooth connects to my hearing aids no problem but the app won’t connect without turning hearing aids on and off. I tried everything the tech people suggested and the problem persists ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2024-10-17, version 3.0.7* Please start manufacturing the Hearphonrs again. They’re the best on the shoulder heating aids made. I’ve tried the others and none can compare. Other than that yours were about 3 times more expensive than the best of the others, so is the tenderloin more costly than the Chuck steak! ### 5/5 — Great for otitis media *2024-04-27, version 3.0.7* If you’re trying to tolerate 12 weeks of “watchful waiting,” to see if your situation self-resolves, try the Bose Hearphones. They’ll make your situation far more tolerable. ### 5/5 — Bose Hearing aids *2023-12-20, version 3.0.7* The Customer Service Advisor was incredibly personable, patient and extremely helpful. Thank you so much for having such incredible personal. ### 5/5 — Herbinky *2023-01-08, version 3.0.7* Great improvement to my hearing. Conversation and music much improvement. To bad Bose has chosen to discontinue them. ### 5/5 — Better & cheaper than hearing aids! *2022-10-28, version 3.0.7* Allows me to specifically tune into whomever or whatever I want without being overwhelmed by unwanted noise! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-08-26, version 3.0.7* These are prefect for day outings with the family. So far I don’t have a lot of hearing loss. But it was difficult to hear when we all got together. Bose solved the problem. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Easy *2022-06-30, version 2.2.3* Just as good as my $4,000 ones and easier to personally adjust for unique situations. Also I can wear them if I perspire on the golf course since they are waterproof. ### 5/5 — Good hearing aides. *2022-06-30, version 2.2.3* Since I received my gift of BOSE Hearing aides from my daughter, I can now hearing what people are praying in my prayer group. I am leading it and it is important for me to know what people are praying and enables me to hear the testimonies at church too. It helps in everyday conversations too. I was getting tired of asking people to repeat themselves. ### 5/5 — Good hearing aid *2022-06-27, version 2.2.3* Great hearing aid right out of the box. Love the app features that puts the sound controls in the palm of your hand. ### 5/5 — Has improved my hearing. *2022-06-23, version 2.2.3* I found it very easy to setup the hearing aids with this app. Took a minute to learn the interface but after that it’s quick and easy to navigate. I’m hearing things I never heard with the expensive set I’ve had for the past 4 years. The only thing I would like to see in the future is to expand the app to the Apple Watch. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
