#BOSE SOUND CONTROL HEARING AIDS ANDROID#
Directional audio features are pretty standard on medical-grade hearing aids, many of which now have companion apps for iOS and Android to customize your settings, although they still require an audiologist for initial tuning. They're water-resistant "to survive light exposure to rain or water."īose says the CustomTune technology that's incorporated into the Bose Hear app offers hundreds of options for fine-tuning from just two simple controls: "World Volume can be turned up to amplify quiet sounds more than loud ones so listening is more comfortable, while Treble/Bass can adjust tone to accentuate or diminish certain vocal frequencies."Ī Focus feature allows you to focus on sound that's directly in front of you (for restaurant conversations, for example) and presets for activities and places can be named and stored in Modes for easy retrieval. A battery lasts up to four days when used for 14 hours a day and eight batteries are included in total. Bose says each hearing aid weighs 3 grams and contains two microphones, one tiny speaker and a standard 312 zinc-air battery. As hearing aid regulation has evolved during the pandemic, plenty of new products have been falling into the PSAP gray zone.įor instance, Vivtone says its $500 Pro20 model is FDA-cleared and "medical grade" but then refers to the product as both a "hearing aid" and "hearing amplifier" on its Amazon product page and its website, the latter of which includes typos like "me_di_cal-grade." (A quick search of the FDA website did not turn up any search results for Vivtone Pro20 or Vivtone, but the Bose SoundControl Hearing Aids are there.) Previously, Bose dabbled in hearing amplification with its experimental $500 Hearphones, which were discontinued in 2020.īose's SoundControl Hearing Aids look similar to other behind-the-ear, receiver-in-canal designed hearing aids and come with three sizes of open and closed dome eartips.

Other companies like Zvox have created low-cost personal sound amplification products, or PSAPs - its VoiceBud VB20 amplifiers cost about $300 for a pair - but in order to call a product a "hearing aid," you need FDA clearance, which is a notch below FDA approval.
