Editor's Review
The myPhonak app 📱 is designed to enhance your hearing experience by providing seamless control and personalization options for your Phonak hearing aids. With a revamped design and improved functionality, it ensures your hearing is tailored to your unique needs. Let's dive into the details! 🦻
Remote Control: This feature allows you to effortlessly adjust your hearing aid settings to match your personal preferences in various listening environments. You can easily modify the volume 🔊 and other hearing aid features like noise reduction and microphone directionality. Choose from pre-defined programs to suit different situations, or fine-tune the sound pitch using the equalizer presets (default, comfort, clarity, softer, etc.). For more personalized adjustments, use the sliders to control bass, middle, and treble levels. 🎶
Remote Support: Need professional assistance? 🧑⚕️ The Remote Support function enables you to connect with your hearing care provider through a live video call. Get your hearing aids adjusted remotely, all from the comfort of your home (by appointment). 📞
Health Section: Stay on top of your health with numerous functions available in the Health section. Track your steps 🚶♀️, wearing time ⌚, and activity levels. You can also set optional goals to stay motivated. For Audéo Fit users, there's heart rate tracking ❤️, and for Audéo Fit, Lumity, and Infinio users, you can track distance walked and ran. 🏃♂️
Additional Features: myPhonak also allows you to configure Tap Control, set up cleaning reminders, and access additional information such as battery level 🔋 and the status of connected hearing aids and accessories. These features ensure you’re always in the know and ready to go! ℹ️
Compatibility: myPhonak is compatible with Phonak hearing aids that have Bluetooth® connectivity. Check the compatibility list to ensure your hearing aid is supported. ✅
Device Compatibility: The app is compatible with Google Mobile Services (GMS) certified Android devices supporting Bluetooth 4.2 and Android OS 8.0 or newer. Make sure your phone has Bluetooth low energy (BT-LE) capability. If you're unsure, visit the Phonak compatibility checker to verify. 🌐
Important Information: Always seek the advice of a doctor in addition to using this app, and before making any medical decisions. The app is available only in countries where the compatible hearing instruments have received official approval for distribution. ⚠️
