Bose® Hear 4+

I wish the developers can improve this app so we could make most changes in the Home screen without having to navigate multiple screens and make multiple taps just to make a simple change. Like changing the balance, mute, focus or selecting a different mode, all could be to toggled on the same screen. Also, creating a new mode or overwriting a mode takes too many steps. I got the new SoundControl devices and having to go to multiple screens and clicks is quite annoying. This could be a simple change with lots of benefits to the users. Also, adding separate treble/bass for each device could be very useful to many of us, even better adding a full EQ for each device. Not sure without these changes. Let us know the plans. Without these changes I may return the product after the 90-day trial period. Please Bose, try to make these changes soon, ok? 😜🙏

I was very excited for these hearing aids, I’ve always thought Bose was top of the line for sound quality. I already had Hearglow hearing aids but there is quite a lot of feedback with them so when I saw that Bose made hearing aids I thought they would be a much better quality. They were almost double the cost but I can’t hear nearly as well with them. The volume doesn’t go very high and although it’s better than wearing no aid at all I still have a lot of difficulty hearing with these in. I bought them quite a while ago but because the Hearglow worked so much better for me I didn’t use them regularly until just a couple of days ago when there was an accident with the others and I had no choice. The Bose hearing aids do have more features, but they’re features that don’t really make a difference to me as far as being able to hear better. Adjusting the treble doesn’t seem to help and although being able to mute them is kind of cool- I’ve never needed to mute them. I’m not writing this review to be a jerk, I genuinely hope the feedback will help make some good improvements if new models are designed. I am disappointed with this purchase and feel like the only thing a higher price tag got me was a name brand. There’s definitely room for improvement and I hope a lot of improvements are made.

I’ve had my Bose hearphones for about a month and really am quite satisfied. So many instances where I feel like I’m part of life again, like sitting in the back seat and being involved in conversations, enjoying TV at a normal volume and being able to hear when taking a call to list a few. I like how I can adjust the settings to my personal needs depending on my environment.

My only issue was when I went from an iPhone 7 to the 10 Xr and the new phone would not recognize the app. Customer support helped me to perform a system update and once I deleted the app and reinstalled, I was back up and running. (Hold time was inordinately long, but the support was great.)

My plan is to use the hearphones at least until 2020 when hearing aid sales will be deregulated. At that time I am betting (hoping) Bose will have a traditional hearing aid developed at a fraction of the $5000 cost of the best ones today!
