No Bluetooth access if phone is linked

No other app that uses Bluetooth fails if some other device is also connected. But this one gives you an error message if, for example, your phone is connected to your Tesla. Since your phone is your key to your Tesla you can’t just flip it off so you can lower the volume control on your ears.

Separate bass and Treble Controlsl

The slider controlling bass and treble at the same time (on my Signia HA’s) is not a very satisfactory system. All else is just fine. For music listening on channel 3, separate bass and treble controls would better tailor the sound. KFTaylor

Great Product! Good App

The Sigma products I have a great! They changed my life!
Maybe it’s just me, but the app is a little difficult to understand, even after I’ve read the instructions. I don’t change the settings, but when I replace the batteries (about every seven days for ea one, but I wear them 18+ hours a day) the app always reads that the volume levels are too low on the hearing aids. I don’t know why. I replace the batteries, put the hearing aids in both ears and open the app to make sure the master volume is in the center of the control slide. After getting the message that the volume is too low, I again turn up the volume on the aids. I don’t understand how the volume gets too low when I change batteries. Other than that, the App is great! I can discreetly and remotely change programs, etc. Thanks!

Needs more adjustments

First when I take my hearing aids out of the charger it should reconnect to my cell phone so the settings that I have used already would re connect with ought having to reprogram. Having to were hearing aids is already a pain in the you know. That would help a lot.

Not bad but no cigar!

Coming from the mini-tek, I like not having that thing around my neck. I wish there was a way to see where the volume is at when you turn it on. What is the factory settings? The app doesn’t give you any insight into the status of your aids. Do they need charging? I need more info?
