Hearing Aid Apps: What Each Brand's App Does

Last checked November 10, 2026. Next full check February 2027.

Email to a family member

Most new hearing aids pair with a phone app. The app is not a hearing aid. It controls the hearing aids you already wear.

Each brand makes its own app. An app works only with the hearing aids its maker lists. This page shows what each app does and which hearing aids it supports.

The apps

  • Oticon Companion

    Oticon

    Controls Oticon hearing aids from your phone.

    Works with certain hearing aidsiPhone, Android

  • myPhonak

How to choose

  • Start with the brand on your hearing aids. The app must match.
  • Check the model list on the maker's page. A new app often drops support for older models.
  • Ask your audiologist to switch on remote support. Some apps need your clinic to turn it on first.
  • Check your phone's operating system version. Each app lists a minimum.

This guide is general information. It does not diagnose hearing loss and it does not replace a hearing evaluation. An app cannot tell you why you hear less. An audiologist can.

Questions to bring to your visit

Write these on your phone or print this page. Bring them to your hearing evaluation.

  • Does the app for my hearing aids work with my phone?
  • Which app controls will I use every day?
  • Can you set up remote support on my app?
  • What do I do if the app loses the connection?

Common questions

Do I need an app for my hearing aids?
Many hearing aids work without an app. An app adds controls, such as volume and programs, on your phone. Ask your audiologist which features need the app.
Can one app control hearing aids from different brands?
No. Each maker's app works with the hearing aids that maker lists. Check the model list before you install.
Why will my hearing aid app not connect?
Common causes are an old phone system, an unsupported hearing aid model or a Bluetooth setting that is off. If it still fails, call us. We help with hearing aids from many makers.
