Hearing health care information

Strain to follow conversations when others don't, especially in noisy places
Have trouble understanding the TV

Consistently experience feedback (whistling) of the hearing aid when you turn up World Volume to a level that is comfortable for you, even after you have followed the suggestions in these Instructions for Use to make sure your hearing aid fits properly
Feel the hearing aid is not providing enough amplification even at the highest World Volume setting

A hearing health care professional may be able to help you select a different hearing aid solution to meet your needs.

You should see a hearing health care professional if you:

Have a visible deformity of the ear
Have a current ear infection or a history of active discharge from one or both ears within the past 90 days
Have sudden or rapid progression of hearing loss within the past 90 days in one or both ears
Have acute or chronic dizziness, poor dexterity, poor vision, or significant dementia
Suspect that you have significant ear wax accumulation or a foreign object in the ear canal. Symptoms of significant ear wax accumulation can include itching in your ear, a feeling of fullness in your ear, and/or reduced hearing
Experience pain or discomfort in the ear
Have a noticeable difference in hearing between ears
Have sudden onset or rapid worsening of tinnitus (ringing in the ear) in one or both ears within the past 90 days

This product will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. This product is designed to help you make greater use of your remaining hearing ability. You should keep in mind that it can take time to become accustomed to hearing new sounds. For best results, practice using the hearing aids as much as possible. In most cases, infrequent use of the hearing aids doesn't permit you to attain full benefit from them. The use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and instruction in lipreading. It is good health practice for a person with hearing loss to have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear). Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists, or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of a medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated.

Can I pay with my FSA or HSA account?

Yes, Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids are eligible for FSA/HSA reimbursement. However, we are unable to directly accept FSA/HSA cards at this time. Please choose one of the existing payment options at checkout, then submit your order confirmation for reimbursement following your provider's guidelines.

I have more severe hearing loss. Will SoundControl™ Hearing Aids work for me?

No. Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids are intended for individuals 18 years and older with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss.

Can Bose SoundControl™ Hearings Aids stream music? Can I take phone calls?

Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids cannot stream music nor take phone calls directly from your device. To take calls, try holding the phone speaker slightly above and behind the ear so that it is in closer proximity to the microphones. Please note when used like this, phone audio will be heard in one hearing aid only.

Can I just use one hearing aid?

Yes. First, the hearing aids must initially be paired to the phone as a pair. Then, a single hearing aid can be used. Adjustments can be made in the app or on the device.

Do I have to use the app with the hearing aids?

For first time setup and fine-tuning adjustments, the Bose Hear app is required. Buttons on the hearing aid control World Volume and provide a convenient way to make adjustments without the app.

Will sounds be different when using Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids?

Yes. Better hearing requires getting used to new (typically higher frequency) sound, which can make some sounds annoying. For example, squeaky environment sounds, water sprays, or spoken consonants (/s/, /sh/, etc.). You may need to practice listening to new sounds on your own before relying on them for conversation. Some people may not wish to make large adjustments to the World Volume and Bass & Treble adjustments, in which case, the sounds won't be much different at all.

What are the buttons on the hearing aid?

The buttons on each hearing aid control World Volume. A single press up increases World Volume by 5 steps. And a single press down decreases World Volume by 5 steps. Pressing the buttons on one hearing aid will adjust the World Volume levels of both hearing aids.

What are Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids?

Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids use CustomTune™ technology to offer clinically proven audiologist-quality customization to help adults 18 years and older with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss hear better.

Do Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids stream TV audio directly to the hearing aids? Would they work with a Bluetooth transmitter?

No. Sounds from the TV are amplified like other environmental sounds. Depending on your environment, it may be helpful to sit in front of the television and change the Focus mode to Front.

What is Bluetooth technology and how do Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids use it?

Bluetooth technology is a wireless standard used in mobile devices to wirelessly connect them to the hearing aids. Unlike headphones, Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids use Bluetooth Low Energy only. This standard allows for commands to be transmitted wirelessly from the mobile device to the hearing aids. Adjustments from the Bose Hear app are transmitted to the hearing aids via Bluetooth Low Energy.

Will my own voice sound different when using Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids?

Yes. The sound of your own voice may sound louder when wearing Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids. You may prefer the open tips over the closed tips if you're sensitive to the volume of your own voice. Practice speaking with a trusted partner in a familiar environment to adjust to the new sound with low pressure before moving to higher-pressure social situations.

What are Modes?

Bose SoundControl™ Hearing Aids let you store your preferred settings as modes for your favorite places and situations. It's a quick and effortless way to adjust your hearing aids to your favorite settings of World Volume, Treble & Bass, and Focus.

What is the Focus feature?

The Focus feature allows you to hear the direction you want to hear. There are 2 settings available for the Focus feature: Front and Everywhere. In Front mode, the microphones in the hearing aids focus on sounds in front of you. This setting can help you hear better in occasions like group conversations at a table in a restaurant. In the Everywhere setting, the microphones are not just focused on sounds in front of you, but all around you as well. This setting is ideal for occasions like walking on a busy street or at a park.

Prolonged exposure to water may damage the hearing aids. Water exposure may necessitate a 24-hour drying period before resumed use.

How often should I replace parts? How do I get the most from my hearing aids?

It is recommended to replace the eartips and wax guards every three months. The cables should be replaced once a year. The replacement time may vary depending on usage.

How should the eartips be maintained?

After removing the hearing aids, remove earwax and debris from the eartips and microphones using the provided hearing aid brush or a soft, lint-free cloth. It is recommended to replace the eartips every 3 months.
