App rarely connects to hearing aids

App will rarely connect to hearing aids and when it does often only right. I have tried the re-pair instructions like turn off/on BT, turn off/on aids, disconnect other BT devices, restart iPhone etc
None of those reliably help. I even left my iwatch home this evening but still only R would connect when in a restaurant. To release an app that is incompatible with other Apple BT device is unbelievable.
A 2.4 overall rating is much higher than it should be.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for reaching out and we are sorry for the inconvenience. To improve connectivity, we recommend you keep the phone as close as possible and avoid having multiple devices connected at once. We also welcome you to contact us at philipshearingsolutions@demant.com, we have more workarounds that might be helpful. Kind regards, Marc - Philips Consumer Care

IPhone microphone

When talking on my iPhone, the microphone only works if the hearing aids are connected or the phone is in speaker mode. If the hearing aids are not connected, the person I’m talking to can not understand what I’m saying. The sound is garbled.
I have unlinked and relinked Bluetooth. I have deleted and reinstalled app. I have wiped the iPhone and reinstalled from backup. The only solution I can think of is to buy a new phone and reinstall all information piece by piece. Reinstalling from backup would just reinstall the software problem.

Hi, thank you for reaching out and we are sorry for the inconvenience. If the hearing aids are not connected to the phone via Bluetooth, there should not be an interference. We welcome you to contact us at philipshearingsolutions@demant.com, we have some workarounds that might be helpful. Kind regards, Marc - Philips Consumer Care

Great for two years and then….

I’ve enjoyed having this app as it provides dual purpose. I use it as ear pod for calls and adjusting or changing my hearing aid options. Yesterday, they weren’t paired with phone (Same phone) so I tried to pair them and haven’t been able to ever since. I’ve tried everything they recommend. I even deleted the app and downloaded again. So frustrating and now I see others have had the same issue.

Drops one or both

The app consistently drops one or both of the hearing aids. The only way to get everybody back on track is to restart the app.

In reading reviews, the developer response frequently is “contact us we have workarounds.” Marc, if you have workarounds, why don’t you share them with everyone by adding them to your description of the app? That would save a great deal of frustration if the workarounds actually work.

Hearing aids

I’m ready to take them back - I had issues with phone calls cutting out. Took to Costco- there was an update- worked fine for a bit- still having issues where my Bluetooth doesn’t work in on ear - so frustrating guess I’ll be taking them back and looking into an alternative
