An App to Adjust Hearing Aids Using an iPhone

Multiple hearing aid manufacturers are working to create Apps that can access and adjust hearing aids using a handheld device like an iPad or iPhone. Siemens Hearing Instruments hopes to release an App in March that can be used by Apple and Android products to adjust Siemens hearing aids.  GN Resound recently introduced an App called ReSound Control
This App enables ReSound Verso or Alera hearing aid wearers to adjust the volume of their hearing aids, choose between programming options, and adjust streaming volume by using their smartphone.  To utilize this App, an individual needs:
  • iPhone 5, 4s, 4, or 3GS running iOS 5 or later OR Android smartphone running version 2.3 or later
  • ReSound Unite Phone Clip+
  • ReSound Verso or Alera hearing aids
For more information on the ReSound Control App, click here. The link also contains instructions on how to download the App to your device.

  1. What a great option being able to adjust hearing aids with an iPhone. That really just shows how incredible the technology is getting these days. I would love to be able to have this information for once I get older. I'm sure it'll just get better once that time rolls about. Thank you for sharing. http://www.thehearingclinic.ca/services
