Hearing Aids Will Not Stay Connected to Blue Tooth on IPhone 12 Pro Max

Several issues with myPhonak but lets talk about Blue Tooth connectivity. It worked for awhile and then I had frequent issues with the connectivity. First I’d be driving down the road and the phone would be switching back and forth from the car’s blue tooth phone connection to the hearing aids whe... Show more

Response to the developer response

The response is nonsense - a cut and paste response with no resolution. Get with times and get this fixed. The problem is worse now than before the settings won’t stay no matter what- as soon as the phone screen times out myPhonak reverts back to auto. It doesn’t matter if you get a notification f...

Phonak App

I have the Phanak Marvel Hearing aids which are awesome! First time user and have had them for a month and a half. The Phonak app has major issues. My audiologist has preset personal settings for me. The Phonak app will change them to a default setting where all the settings line up in a row. I ca... Show more

No support for iPhone 13

Started the new year with complete failure of this historically shameful software. Deleted myPhonak and re-downloaded (and have spent an entire day trying everything I can think of to regain functionality). No icon visible on my iPhone. If I go into App Store and search, it comes up showing I have... Show more

Disappointed

I really wish I had read reviews and rating before making a major investment to improve my quality of life. I am hearing impaired due to neurological event and not age. I say only to emphasize how important this is to me. I have had my phonak aids for 17 days now and don’t anticipate keeping them. ... Show more

Terrible!!

I just got new Bluetooth hearing aids, and I am very happy to be able to use them with my iPad to watch and listen to streaming media. That is, once I get through the half hour to 45 minutes to figure out how to get it to be fully functional on the iPad without defaulting to the iPhone.

But ... Show more

Worthless so far - diminishing value of the Phonak hearing aids o have.

myPhonak, at least developed so far, is a disaster, - a factor that should be considered before springing thousands of dollars for any Phonak aids. Connection between app and the aids is spotty at best. Even if and when connection is established, the alternative programming for different settings... Show more

Terrible app

The hearing aids are great, but myPhonak is absolutely terrible. Like >50% of reviewers, I do not want myPhonak to revert to AutoSense after any/every Bluetooth interaction. FIX THIS.

In the same vein, the “mute” feature on myPhonak is worthless if you use your iPhone to do anything. ... Show more

Marvel Paradise Is terrible app is terrible.

I am 39 and a tech junkie. So when I needed hearing aids I went with the paradise 90’s $6,000 dollar top tech top of the line hearing aids. They are buggier than a swamp in July. Phone call quality is terrible for some reason (constantly cutting out) but streaming sounds ok. The double tap to answe... Show more

Dysfunctional app

Like so many others have stated, changing settings within myPhonak is great. Until it defaults to AutoSense. I’ve spent time tweaking the devices to exactly the way I need them only to have them return to default settings. All. The. Time. The aides seem like quality devices that could work really ... Show more

Programs Turn Off for no reason

I use the TV program frequently. Unfortunately, it consistently turns itself off and reverts back to automatic for no apparent reason. This also happens when I get a text, a phone call, or some other audible notification from my iPhone SE (2020), running IOS 14.2. I hate the fact that I am cons... Show more

PHONAK app “clarity” setting causes static

There are a few idiosyncratic behaviors related to myPhonak ’s functionality that are quite annoying but the one that I continue to struggle with, is the one where the “CLARITY” setting causes the injection of static or white noise amplification making it more difficult to hear with the PHONAK Aude... Show more

Poor response

It is very annoying when myPhonak continuously returns to the automatic mode. I can not be in a meeting and continuously keep having to change the settings. I can’t use my calendar or check a message without having to reset my hearing aids. There is no comfort button now in the restaurant mode. ... Show more

Nice UI but quirky performance

I’m only two weeks into using myPhonak. The user interface is pretty intuitive - no real complaints. But there are two things that I find very annoying. The first is that each time I use myPhonak , it takes almost as long to establish a link with the hearing aids as it does to initially pair with ... Show more

Apple Watch Partner App - Why Not?

While nearly every other hearing aid manufacturer has elected to provide an Apple Watch program that partners with their main iPhone app it is inexplicable why Phonak has not taken this on. myPhonak on the phone has certainly improved over the past year but it is simply impractical in most cases t... Show more

Bug?

My iPhone 12pro with iOS 14.2 displays a message on the locked screen that the R-Phonak hearing aid is not playing. I can tap the message and then select iphone but that is only a temporary resolution as the message will popup again for the R-aid. It nevers displays the iPhone is not playing, only ... Show more

Ok but could be better.

First of all, I would like to say that this hearing aid, the Phonak Marvel, has by far the best T-coil sound I have used. I am a pharmacist and spend a lot of time on the phone. However, this review is about myPhonak not the aid. The ability to adjust the volume on the external microphone in t-coi... Show more

Apple watch app sorely missing

App is okay for what it is, and has good controls.

I think the program switching back to automatic after bluetooth is a function of the hearing aid device rather than that of the iPhone app.

It's really missing an Apple Watch companion app though! It would be very nice to have these c... Show more

With Costco KS9

I recently bought Costco KS 9 and was told to use myPhonak. It replaces a KS6 (ReSound) app that I had previously used. myPhonak is definitely a step up but I cannot see battery status (despite it showing on screen shot in App Store). Resound app had lost hearing aid location- that would be nice ... Show more

Review by a skeptic of Kirkland 9.0

I purchased Kirkland 9.0 hearing aids at Costco. The tech, Kim, said “what’s most important to you - in order?” Hearing quality followed closely by iOS compatibility. “We can help with the first, but unfortunately smart phone operating systems are not always friendly with hearing aids”. I quickly... Show more

Bluetooth connectivity

I originally had difficulty staying connected to the hearing aids, went back to the audiologist. She connected me with the hearing aid supplier.
Said I need to update myPhonak , who knew?
Still after deleting myPhonak numerous times trying to get both aids to connect, not happening. After re... Show more

Terrible app

Terrible app. Seems to offer alot but needs update to allow to save setting when you change volumn it reverts back to the orignal settings. When i vhange to a different parameter such as restaurant for an example. If you turn the screen off it’ll revert back to the auto sense parameter. If you ch... Show more

Current app performance delaying my hearing aid purchase

I am currently trying out the M70 hearing aids with the removable batteries. I love the hearing improvements from them!! However my decision to purchase this brand is dependent on it’s ability to stream music and podcasts with my iPhone X. Streaming works great when I am indoors but cuts out whe... Show more

Great features, poorly developed

I love it that we now have an app that provides the ability to fine-tune settings to any environment. However, the built-in programs and custom programs only work while myPhonak is up on your phone. If you close your phone (or receive a text, phone call or any audible notification), the hearing ai... Show more

Won’t connect to aids

The previous version at least would connect to the hearing aids. This version fails. Restarted iphone, restarted hearing aids. Nothing helps. Makes myPhonak useless.

Update. Decided to delete myPhonak one more time and download 3.0.2 from myPhonak store. After having done this a few times... Show more

Bluetooth won’t stay connected

myPhonak works for after re-downloading for the remote control function, but won’t work for streaming or phone calls. It keeps disconnecting and can’t find the device. The new remote control features are good but the inability to use the hearing aids for phone calls and streaming makes myPhonak... Show more

Needs bugs fixed and needs Apple Watch app

Love myPhonak... when it works! I have had it freeze many times and seems only way to unfreeze is to delete app and reload. Of course when you do that you loose your custom programs. Custom programs are fantastic!

This should be a Apple Watch program too. It is so much easier to just t... Show more

New version need improvements

All the customization is welcome, but when I lock the phone the autosense returns to normal settings. You can created profiles, but you lost them if you make myPhonak forget your hearing aids. And the worst, the pairing for two devices only work with myPhonak not with the Bluetooth audio (just li... Show more

Better than Phonak Remote but needs work.

An improvement over the very basic Phonak Remote app. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work in the background. If I use myPhonak to turn off or otherwise adjust my hearing aids, when I switch to another app they return to their default settings. That’s a big problem. Please fix it.

Promising with a glitch

I enjoy the improvement of myPhonak over the remote app. Nice customization. My hang up which results in the 3 star rating is probably due to IOS 13.1. myPhonak will not allow the menu in upper right corner to slide open to see additional information and options. Fixing this would be extremely he... Show more

Half Functional

When I connect the hearing aid with myPhonak , I can use the functionality of myPhonak but not stream audio or take phone calls. When I connect directly using the Bluetooth setting on my phone I can stream and take calls, but the hearing aid will no longer sync with myPhonak .

Great program

I really enjoy using myPhonak with my hearing aids. It would be a 5 star if could fix the Bluetooth issue having to reconnect to use the Bluetooth option on my iPhone 11. At times it is fine and I can listen to music or talk on the phone.

myPhonak will not work at all at times when I ha... Show more

Wonderful app and hearing aid - Audeo M90

I am a first time hearing aid user. I cannot believe how well I can hear in a variety of settings. myPhonak is fantastic. I have had no issues at all using myPhonak or controlling the hearing aids. The customization works well and I’m able to save any custom settings. Phone calls and stream... Show more

First time hearing aid user

First time I ever tried hearing aids. Wow! I can hear. myPhonak lets me check battery voltage on the rechargeable Marvels. It also lets me to adjust the volume, I can do that without myPhonak but have no way to see the level without myPhonak . Tweak settings and create my own files. Very useful.

Bluetooth Bug IOS 13

myPhonak is great but with the IOS 13 update it did not work with Bluetooth streaming or call hand off. That has now been updated and also myPhonak has been too. Everything works perfectly now. All that was required after the updates was to do a new iPhone pairing which adds a second left ear... Show more

I've used hearing aids for many years. I've had Siemens and Resound in the past. The Phonak aids are ok but the APP is terrible. They ought to copy the Resound APP and use it.

Only had the hearing aids a couple of weeks but, as with others I'm fed up having to get off default when someone sends a message etc. I read I can use Do you disturb on the phone.

HORRIBLE! Will lower volume on its own when using other applications on the phone, will bounce between programs, needs to be removed and re-installed to reconnect to hearing aids - it is a disaster. Seeker’s office is in denial, claiming nothing is wrong. I WANT THE PREVIOUS APP BACK NOW!!!

The current myPhonak is horrible and doesn't work half the time. It will not keep my profile logged in after closing the app. The previous app was so much better.

The whole HA industry is a “cash cow”. The “MyPhonak” app is not developed (built) by Phonak. Because the app is free it has been badly produced by ? Using the Phonak brand name.
