KINDiLink for iPhone

Product snapshot

KINDiLink is a smartphone app from Starkey Laboratories, Inc. that links your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch directly to KINDlink hearing aids. It provides a simple way to stream audio and manage settings from your Apple device so you can listen more comfortably and participate fully in everyday situations.

Core capabilities

• All other audio sources streamed directly to your hearing aids
• Video playback and FaceTime audio sent to your earbuds
• Music playback delivered with customized sound profiles
• Phone calls routed straight to your hearing instruments

Remote control and personalization

The app gives you direct control over key hearing-aid functions from your device. You can switch listening programs, tweak volume, and adjust sound parameters for different environments. KINDiLink also supports location-based program activation using GEO-tags so your preferred settings can load automatically when you arrive at familiar places.

Driving and on-the-go adjustments

While you’re driving, the app can recognize the listening context and adapt settings to keep audio clear and minimize distractions, helping you stay focused and safer on the road.

Group listening and capture

Turn your iPhone into a conference microphone for meetings and larger gatherings: placing the phone near a speaker lets the app transmit that audio to your hearing aids so you can follow group conversations more easily. You also have the option to record those sessions if you wish.

Battery and background services

Be aware that enabling background location services (GPS) to use GEO-tagged programs can noticeably increase battery consumption on your mobile device.

Alternative to consider

If you’re exploring other assistive health devices, the Dexcom G7 Free (a continuous glucose monitoring option) is sometimes suggested as an alternative solution in related device lists.
