Hearing Aid Apps: What Four Makers' Store Listings Say

Four maker apps on Google Play's US store

Hearing aid makers publish their own control apps, and the store listing is where an app's name, developer, update date and price sit side by side. We read four on Google Play's US store in November 2026: Oticon Companion, listed by Oticon A/S and updated Jun 24, 2026; myPhonak, listed by Sonova AG and updated Sep 28, 2026; ReSound Smart 3D, listed under GN Resound, with Gn Hearing A/S in its developer details, and updated Mar 5, 2026; and the Signia App, listed by Sivantos Pte. Ltd. and updated Aug 13, 2026. The company on the listing isn't always the brand on the box; our page on hearing aid brands shows which company stands behind each name.

On price, all four listings showed an Install button and no purchase price, which is how Google Play displays a free app; the listing data we archived on November 2, 2026 for the Oticon, ReSound and Signia apps records the same. That is the store's price for the app, not for any hearing aid, and a listing can change. We don't use star ratings, review counts or download counts, and we don't rank the apps: each listing describes its own brand's hearing aids, so the app follows the aids you already wear. We didn't read Apple's App Store listings, because Apple's site terms bar automated reading; the iPhone line below comes from Phonak's own support page.

What phone each maker says you need

Phone requirements are where the four listings differ most, and two of them leave the question to another page.

• Oticon Companion: the Google Play listing, read in November 2026, recommends Android OS 13 or later for optimal performance and points to Oticon's compatibility page for the device list. That is a recommendation, not a stated minimum.
• myPhonak: the listing names Google Mobile Services certified Android devices "supporting Bluetooth 4.2 and Android OS 10.0 or newer." Phonak's U.S. support page, read in November 2026, adds iPhones running iOS 16.0 or newer.
• ReSound Smart 3D: no version is printed; the listing sends you to the compatibility list on resound.com.
• Signia App: we found no phone requirement in the US listing.

Oticon, Phonak and ReSound each keep a separate compatibility list or checker on their own site, so the operating-system line alone doesn't settle whether a given phone works. Our page on Bluetooth hearing aids covers what wireless aids cost, and Apple hearing aids covers the AirPods feature FDA authorized.

What the listings say the apps do

Each maker writes its own feature list on Google Play. We sum up the control and support functions only, as the listings read in November 2026.

• Oticon Companion, from Oticon A/S, lists adjusting the volume of each hearing aid together or separately, muting surroundings, switching between programs your hearing care professional set, checking battery levels, finding lost aids with location services always on, and an online visit with the professional by appointment.
• ReSound Smart 3D, from GN Resound, lists adjusting volume, muting the aids and adjusting the volume of ReSound streaming accessories, plus ReSound Assist, through which the hearing care professional sends new settings and software updates.
• Signia App, from Sivantos, opens its list with remote volume control and settings tailored through the Signia Assistant.
• myPhonak, from Sonova AG, describes Remote Support: a live video call with the hearing care professional, who can adjust the aids remotely.

In both the ReSound and the Phonak remote functions, the new settings come from the hearing care professional, not from the app on its own. Programs in the Oticon app are the ones that professional set.

Conditions written into the listings

The listings also set limits that are easy to miss:

• Older Oticon aids: Oticon's listing says that for hearing aids from 2016-2018 not yet updated, "a hearing aid update is required for this app to work." It recommends doing those updates at a routine check-up with your hearing care professional.
• Phonak models and countries: Sonova AG's myPhonak listing says the app works with Phonak hearing aids that have Bluetooth, and is offered only in countries where those aids are officially approved for sale.
• Signia age and features: Sivantos's listing says the Signia App is for users aged 18 years and above, that features vary with the hearing aid model, firmware version and TeleCare availability in your country, and asks you to read your hearing aids' user guide before using it.

For aids bought a few years ago, the update line is the one to check before installing. Our pages on Oticon and Phonak hearing aids cover those two brands in more detail.
