ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hearing Aid holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearing Aid has 75 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Hearing Aid's written reviews are positive against 33% of hearing device's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hearing Aid ships an update every 3 months, hearing device every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
