Philips HearLink 2 for iPhone

App summary

Philips HearLink 2 is an iPhone app created to give hearing-aid wearers more direct control from their phone. It centralizes device settings and status information so users can quickly adjust their listening experience and check on their devices without needing to access the aids themselves.

Primary controls and status

• Battery status readouts so you can see remaining charge for each hearing aid.
• Switching between listening programs allows quick changes for different environments.
• Individual volume controls let you set left and right devices independently.

Connectivity and hands-free adjustments

The app supports Apple Watch integration so you can make discreet changes from your wrist. It also enables direct audio streaming to compatible hearing aids for clearer phone calls, music, and media playback. A mute option reduces ambient noise when you need to concentrate.

Additional tools and support

• Progress tracking through the Philips Journal helps you monitor usage and outcomes over time.
• Equalizer presets and streaming sound tweaks to personalize audio from apps and surroundings.
• Remote meetings with hearing care professionals for consultations and adjustments.
• Access to troubleshooting guides and support resources.
• A location feature to help locate misplaced hearing aids.

Compatibility, cost, and recommendations

The app is free to download and use. For best results, confirm your hearing aids are listed as compatible and keep their firmware up to date. If you need an alternative option, consider the Dexcom G7 (listed as a free alternative in some references), and verify its suitability for your specific needs before relying on it.
