I just got my pair of inside the canal aids yesterday.

I am in the process of programming them with the use of the Assistant on the App.

I was able to get the Universal program to where I need it to be, but am having no luck at all programming either of the other 2 channels.
The adjustments are all going onto the Universal channel.

Am I doing something wrong, or is that just the way it is?

Yes I intend to make an appointment to see the Audiologist, but that will take a couple months.

Might want to ask them about the apparent "echo" effect as well...

(That is, you posted the same thread twice. )

va should have paired them when you took delivery!

my 1st va hearing aids were resound. one earpiece kept un-pairing. after several trips to va to fix the issue, traded for phonak hearing aids!

no issues since the trade.

This is not a pairing issue, it’s a programming problem.

i guess i should've said have va set 'em up when you took delivery!!

fwiw:
i just got a new phone....tried to setup the app + pair.

i couldn't get the app to work, ended up stopping in va/audio to get the issue resolved!!

I will be trying that, but they warned me that it may take a couple months to get in.

You got the in ear models? I got the over the ear models and I am surprised I still have them, since my glasses tend to dislodge them.
I have to call VA and see whats up. Mine are Oticon.

Yup, in the ear model. I had some about 10 years ago and they were great.
I have been wearing some behind the ear ones for 5 years now and I agree with them getting tangled in my glasses, comb, and we wont even talk about a mask.

I think I found something that says the tv and noisey programs can’t be adjusted from the App.

Makes no sense to me, but I will find out, for sure.

I have recently gone to behind-the-ears (actually more on top of the ear) and agree with the tangling issue. I wear a mask (at work) and require cheaters nowadays, so having three things on my ears a lot of the time can be a PITA. However, having tried out a set of in-the-canals for a month, it's a trade off I'm willing to make. There is no contest in the difference in sound quality IMO. The ITCs were simply intolerable in that regard (not to mention that they were somewhat painful), whereas the BTEs are as near to normal natural sound as I've found. Mine have four microphones vs. the one or maybe two of ITCs. This is what makes the difference.

Everyone's hearing loss is different, and what works/sounds best for me may not for someone else. I'm just a little more careful in donning and removing my glasses/mask and it's been OK.

i happened to be in the hospital, told the check-in person about the new phone & what was happening.
it was about 1100, i took an appointment at 1340, went back at 1230, asked if i could be seen early.

within 2 min, i was called in. phone app had locked up. tech uninstalled/re-installed the app, i was done/otd in less than 10 min.

Couple years ago when masks were mandated in some places, I too had glasses, hearing aids, and mask straps, tangling with each other behind my ears.

I found some mask extenders that helped. These things hook onto the ear loops of a mask and go around the back of your head, so the mask no longer needs to be attached behind your ears.

Check with your local VA clinic - some of them have walk-in times for quick adjustments. The one local here has them. I need to take Dad in as his new Oticon BTE units need adjustments to both the programming and the ear shells.
