Description
Control your hearing aids discreetly with the touch of a finger
Oticon Companion provides you with discreet, improved control over your hearing aids – so you can personalize your listening experience for any environment, find your hearing aids if they become lost, get remote support from your hearing care professional when you need it, and much more.
The Oticon Companion App is compatible with all Oticon Bluetooth® hearing aids. However, some app features may require a specific hearing aid model or a firmware update. Please consult your hearing care professional for assistance with firmware updates.
With Oticon Companion, you can:
• Adjust the volume of your hearing aids and various settings (e.g. remote microphone, noise reduction, and sound and streaming equalizer)
• Switch between predefined programs according to the different listening situation you are in
• Monitor your battery levels
• Help you find your hearing aids if you lose them
• Use SpeechBooster to reduce background noise and enhance speech when you need to focus on conversation.
• Use your device as a remote microphone and get better access to the voice of another speaker in noisy environments
• Customize your surrounding sounds with the sound equalizer*
• Set and track hearing aid wear-time goals with the HearingFitness™ feature*
• Use the streaming equalizer for a personalized listening experience. The streaming equalizer is available for all Oticon Bluetooth® hearing aids except Oticon Opn™ and Oticon Siya
• Have your hearing aids adjusted and receive counseling from the comfort of your own home – via a live video call with your hearing care professional
• Handle wireless accessories paired with your hearing aids; control multiple TV Adapters or devices, such as Oticon EduMic or ConnectClip, which can be used both for streaming and as a remote microphone
* This feature is available with Oticon Real™ and Oticon Intent™
For optimal performance and access to the latest features, we recommend using the latest version of iOS.

Ratings and Reviews
Very Clunky
This app is extremely clunky. It’s takes forever to load and connect. It’s too bad because I think Oticon has the edge in terms of the aids themselves. This app is really holding them back.
Developer Response ,
Dear user,
thank you for your feedback. We will need additional information to provide support. Please, reach out to the support team at appsupport@oticon.com mentioning the model of your hearing aids and the model of the phone. They will be glad to help. Kind Regards, Oticon
Connection issues
When the app connects it is useful. I find that many times it does connect in the morning after the aids are removed from the charger.
When connected, I wish to stream music or a book later on the same day they are not connected or just one is. Yet I go to setting and they are connected to the iPhone. There is no consistency. Sometimes I not only need to turn the aids off & on ( manually or in the charger) there is still no connection. I have shut down the iPhone and this does not always work. They are close to the iPhone when I attempt the various methods to connect, as suggested in the app.
Is this normal? iPhone 14.
Developer Response ,
Dear IamChoreman, we appreciate your feedback. Once the upcoming app update for Companion App (version 1.3.0) becomes available on the app store in a few days, please proceed to update the app. Our developers have diligently worked on enhancing connectivity and performance for an improved experience. If you will still experience the same issues after the update, please report it to the Global App Support team at appsupport@oticon.com. Kind regards, Oticon
Do not purchase
The TV adapter shorted out a $1200 top-of-the-line LG TV and they blame it on the TV manufacture for goodness sakes.Within three months when hearing aid stopped working and now approximately 11 months later it will not start working again and the app will not recognise either hearing aids so I cannot turn them on or adjust them. From the comments on here and the real people I have talked to this is not hearing is anyone should buy
Developer Response ,
Dear user, I am so sorry to hear about the inconvenience. Please, inform your audiologist regarding what happened to your hearing aid. I am confident that they will provide you with viable options to allow you to use again the hearing aid. Kind Regards, Oticon
