What the myPhonak iPhone App Offers

myPhonak for iPhone provides an updated interface and expanded controls to help you get the most out of your Phonak hearing instruments. In addition to monitoring basic health metrics, the app gives you centralized control and customization options for compatible hearing aids so you can tailor settings to different listening situations.

Fine-Tuning and Sound Customization

Use the app to personalize how your aids behave in everyday environments:

• Choose built-in listening programs for different environments (e.g., noisy places, conversation, music).
• Change microphone focus and directionality for better speech clarity or situational awareness.
• Adjust overall loudness quickly with simple volume controls.
• Modify the equalizer using presets or manual sliders; presets include clarity, soft, default, and comfort, and sliders let you tweak bass, mids, and treble.

Remote Assistance and Support

If you need professional help, myPhonak supports remote troubleshooting and adjustments:

• Schedule live video sessions with your hearing care professional for real-time fine-tuning.
• Allow your clinician to modify device settings remotely during an appointment so you don’t need an in-person visit.

Activity and Health Tracking

• Monitor heart rate alongside other activity measures.
• Track steps and distance walked to view daily activity levels.
• Keep tabs on hearing aid wear time and set personalized goals for usage and activity.
