### 5/5 — Miracle-Ear (Murray and Bountiful)

*2026-02-10, version 2.30.0*

Simply THE best!! Harry and Kristy.. thank you SO much!!

### 2/5 — Poor

*2026-01-11, version 2.30.0*

Needed updating.  Not many features     Very basic

### 3/5 — Could be more user friendly and needs updates

*2025-11-29, version 2.30.0*

I do like being able to raise and lower the volume, however,  I wish it would sync with my phone so I wouldn’t have to keep the speaker on, on my phone. Also it keeps telling me the volume is too lo or too hi for the controls to work properly and when I’m in a place that I don’t want interruptions, my phone is on silent but I still need to hear whatever it is I’m listening to .

### 1/5 — Took away a key feature!

*2025-11-17, version 2.30.0*

There was a feature that through the app I  could block out background noice. This was key when at a restaurant or in a crowd, I use to be able to direct to hear person facing me. I am madden that this feature was taken off the app!!

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2025-10-28, version 2.30.0*

Not enough control

### 1/5 — Miracle Ear GENIUScontrol app

*2025-10-01, version 2.30.0*

This app is useless. I need individual volume control and balance.

### 2/5 — Control?

*2025-08-20, version 2.30.0*

Customer should have better User/Customer control & Software Should ALWAYS be User/Customer friendly, after all, we paid a lot of money for 2 (two) hearing aids. 
Thanks,
Dr. G.

### 2/5 — App Review

*2025-06-20, version 2.30.0*

The app needs individual volume control for each ear. The imbalance is very difficult to deal with.

### 5/5 — W.W.J.D. 2015 - 2025

*2025-06-18, version 2.30.0*

JOHN 3:16

### 2/5 — Needs more work

*2025-05-17, version 2.30.0*

Not “user friendly” it’s Audiologist friendly but Audiologist even have recommendation for you but might be afraid to “Suggest” them?  
Love,
Dr. G. ❤️🙏❤️
