Phonak app update

There was another topic on this to recently, on my M70 Naida, get same issues, so given up creating own programs, as they always disappear, apparently the paradise app is ok, so it seems like they have not bothered or can’t update it to work for older ones.
I think it was mentioned if can get to audiologist they can add a custom program on to and it should stay.

I’ve had the same problems.

Can you ask your audiologist to install some of these settings so you can adjust your hearing aids manually? My audiologist added, phone, music and loud background noise settings that I can adjust manually by pushing the button on my in the ear hearing aids.

Exactly!

I have found that while many of the different existing programs work well, Phonak’s automatic function seems to fail to select the needed program to match the listening environment. In my case being a DIY guy, I programed music to number 1, and comfort in noise to number 2. Now whenever I get into a car knowing I will be on the highway, in an airplane, or a noisy restaurant, I immediately select #2, and enjoy not having to listen to all the noise. Same thing when playing my classical guitar, hit #1, and all is good.

I can select these modes using either a long press on the hearing aid button, or using the app.

This may be a simplified explanation, as I have customized all of my program settings to suit my preferences, but any audiologist should be able to set up your aids this way in a few minutes, it’s not rocket science.

I don’t think that the auto function is my friend.

Long time ago the only trick I knew was turn volume up.
Now I have multiple programs (never know what it chose), directional microphones, and a hearing aid slave. Except the audi didn’t think to turn that on.

More helpful—my new hearing aid dispenser is wonderful. He has given my a Target User Report and Pro Report in the past. Fantastic. last visit he forgot.

I hate Auto. I just have 2 programs now and do all switching manually. In your case, where you work outdoors amongst danger, I believe any beamforming would be hazardous.
