It looks like you have maxed out potential volume that it thinks you can do.

I’m curious what your audiogram looks like. I’m not having the same problems. My Bluetooth streaming comes in very loud unless I lower the volumes

@tenkan is there something in SmartFit that would effect Bluetooth streaming volume?

@KjKAN said:

When bluetooth with earbuds OR my hearing aids in I must max the volume, and then it is just adaquate with the sound volume. Also the sound quality is just soo weak. I also adjusted mid and treble way down, and boosted bass, and created my own “streaming” mode program in the Smart 3D app for music and calls.

Looking at your audiogram it looks like you need mid-range and treble gain turned up. Do you still have low volumes when you turn those things back up?

You might want to try:
Equaliser For Bluetooth Headphones http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.equalsertst.blutthheadphne3

I max out all the equalizers with my hearing aids on as I presume my hearing aids will adjust my frequencies appropriately and I just want to get as much additional boost across the board.

It’s a pleasure to be of help. Best of luck with your future HAs!

I am now able to use my Samsung earbuds with my Samsung galaxy S24 and get “proper” volume. I did the override max volume, and then also changed the set up on the volume controls on the earbuds themselves. After a phone restart, I now have proper volume, using the ear bud tap/hold volume controls. I have also tweaked the equalizer in the S24 and the equalizer in the Samsung Wearable app. All is well. It is a good day.

The flip side is, I started over with a new Audi/students within our local medical school. The ENT there uses resound for their cochlear implants, and so I feel they have a good connection/relationship with Resound GN. My Samsung Galaxy S24 is not, and will not soon be compatable with the Resound Nexia hearing aid, according to my Audi. “It is not stable.”
So I have a brand new S24 phone that, if I retrial the Nexia’s, can only be ok with the ASHA protocol maybe possibly. According to the Resound website, the S24 is not on their list for ASHA compatability either, nor compatable with the Resound smart 3D app. Compatibility | ReSound US2
I currently use the Resound smart 3D app on my Samsung galaxy S24 with my existing Resound omina HA’s, and its pretty stable. I have noticed occasional visual hiccups looking at the app (overlapping visuals) but everything works. I can only hope that Resound will want to update to be compatable with the S24 sometime in the future. That being said, i’m actually going to buy an unlocked used Samsung Galaxy S23, and give the Resound Nexia another trial. Is there anybody out there with an S23 and the Resound Nexia’s that I can get info from? How are they working out? Also, does anyone have an unlocked Samsung S23 to sell for cheap to trial the Nexia hearing aids? lol

@KjKAN, excuse any repeat information.
My partner and I both have the Jabra Enhance Pro 20s from Costco which are the same thing as the ReSound Nexia 9s. I have the Galaxy S23 Ultra and she the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Both of us have had pretty stable operation with the ASHA protocol.

She got her HAs a month ago and just returned from 10 days in Spain where she had no problems with her phone and hearing aids working together. We talked daily. She also got the ReSound PhoneClip+ so she could have hands free. She is on the phone a lot. I asked her to leave LE Audio off as she is not tech savvy. Because we are on different coasts for the next month, still, I can not test the LE Audio mode on her S24 to see if the behavior is any different than on my S23. I am not sure why it would be as we are both running One UI 6.1 and Bluetooth 5.3. She has been very happy with her setup

I stream a lot and I am very happy with the sound my HCP helped tune my fitting to, as well as what I did with my phone too. I can switch between streaming and voice calls well in ASHA mode. I have mostly kept LE Audio off as it is finicky. I have to disconnect then connect the HAs and or turn Bluetooth off and on too frequently for my default patience level. With the ASHA protocol I do this much more seldom. I still use it when I want hands free or just because. I can get clear across the house and down a floor hands free with LE Audio. I love my Jabra (read ReSound) HAs with my S23.

Android 15 beta 2 is out and it has fixes for both dual mode (phones that operate in ASHA and LE Audio modes) as well as a number of LE Audio issues. By the end of the year Samsung One UI 7 may be out with these changes. It sounds promising. I hope to hear feedback from Pixel 8 ReSound or Jabra or Oticon HA users with LE Audio before then.

One thing that should help you. Go to phones Settings and search on “Never Auto Sleeping Apps”. Be sure to add the ReSound Smart 3D app to that list. The app runs in the background even if you kill the app. Mine has currently been running in the background for 85 hours. My HAs kept disconnecting from the app before that. You can check on it by tapping the lower left button of the phone screen (where you can see and kill your apps). In the upper left corner there is some wording about background apps. Select that and you will see the apps running in the background. From there you can actually stop the app.

Enjoy your S24s and Nexias. I think they are great choices.
