The ReSound App is a useful tool that allows you to customize settings on your hearing aids in any environment. It’s especially helpful when you can’t visit our office since it has an Assist feature, which lets doctors adjust hearing aids remotely. But this feature is new to many patients, so we want to help you learn how to use it. Many of the problems with the Assist feature stem from underlying operating issues, not the App itself. Here are some simple ways to troubleshoot the Assist function on your ReSound App. Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions! Clarity Hearing offers remote assistance and Tele Audiology consultations for all of our patients whenever you need us.
1. Preparing Your Phone:
- On your phone, go to “Settings,” then “Bluetooth,” and make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
- Then press “Accessibility,” and select “Hearing Devices” on your phone.
2. Connecting Your Hearing Aids to Your Phone:
- If you’ve connected before, select your hearing aids under “Hearing Devices” on your phone and scroll down to select “Forget this Device.”
- Afterward, or for your first connection, turn your hearing aids off and remove the batteries or put rechargeable aids in the charger.
- Turn your hearing aids back on and replace the batteries or remove rechargeable aids from the charger.
- On your phone screen, wait for your hearing aids to pop up under “Hearing Devices.”
- Then press the prompt that says, “Triple-click the Home button at any time to show hearing device options.”
- The phone will send you a “Bluetooth Pairing Request.”
- Press “Pair” once for one hearing aid, or twice for two aids.
3. Troubleshooting ReSound Assist Once You’re Paired:
- Make sure your cell phone software is up to date.
- Close other apps that might interfere with ReSound.
- Turn your phone’s Bluetooth off and back on.
- Turn your phone off and back on, at least weekly.
- Close and reopen the ReSound App.
- Delete the ReSound app and download it again.
