My hearing varies from day to day and both ears have different hearing levels and clarity, so for me the app is very important. The best app is Resound. The worse is Phonak although Phonak is a more of a set it and forget . To me, most premium aids still lack good hearing in noise capability. I’ve tried them all so in the end I am using Resound hearing aids because they have the best app and are as good as any in noise. When I say they have the best app I include the fact that they have GPS tracking in case you misplace one, Apple Watch support, custom app creation and they retains settings if you switch programs back and forth.

I’m fortunate enough that I can do just that. I’ve been using Phonak M90 Rs for the last 4 years. I used to have the app on my phone, but I never had any use for it. Once in a while I use the control switch on the hearing aids to turn the volume up or down, but otherwise I pretty much forget about them.

Yes, you’re not the only one here.
Obviously the people on this forum aren’t typical users, which is much the same on any specialty forum like car model forums. And like users on those forums, they either have problems they can’t solve otherwise, or they are fascinated by the versatility of these devices.

“Set it and Forget it!”

That’s my goal.
I’m almost there!

Phonak Audeo Paradise P90R’s.

Yes me me. My goal has always been to be able to think of my aids as just an extension of my ears and brain.

I’d call myself a set and forget it guy. Although I did a lot of fiddling some time back and set up three favorites of my presets. I usually change once from all-around to restaurant to watch TV late in the evening but that’s it. I went for a walk this morning and it was windy to I used my button to change to the outdoor preset which works great at blocking wind noise. After reading all these posts I realized I forgot to change it back to all-around. So yes, set it and forget it.

I have only the default program, but I do have a tv adapter, and the of course the iPhone external microphone which I have never used. I do use the tv adapter to stream the tv audio to my aids at times but not always.

Me! I cannot be bothered messing with the app. I am asking my audiologist to change my hearing aid setting to speech clarity so that I can just press the button, rather than go onto my phone, open the app and put on speech clarity. I am currently relying on it a lot because I struggle understanding people as it is.

Im finally there. I dont need to change any programs in any situation these days. Took many adjustments and diy but im there. At most i bump my volume, like when someone is talking behind a partition or maybe has a mask on. But thats a rarity. And i was one that originally thought i would love the option of many programs and custom eq adjustments, but once dialed in, just no need

After some initial experimentation, I’m pretty close to ‘set and forget’. Most days I don’t change anything at all.

I never change the volume, except to ‘mute’ it if I am listening to a podcast and don’t want to be disturbed; this only takes two taps on my Apple Watch.

Occasionally I use the app to enable the MoreSoundBooster, just to see how much difference it makes; I’m still undecided.

I’ve been set it and forget it ever since I got ReSound Pulse aids almost 20 years ago. They were aids with acoustic thin tubes and tulip domes. There were no programs or options. Just close the battery door, put them on, and go.

Today I’m set and forget, but do regularly use a TV adapter in the evening.

I am now a set it and forget it with my Phonak L90 RT; the best thing that happened to me. I hated having to fiddle with different programs to hear better in different environments.
