Hello, all. I don't know if anyone has any experience with hearing aids that are made-for-iphone. Currently, my audiologist is allowing me to try the Resound Linx out. There are a few features in the app that I find completely inaccessible.

The Resound app lets you adjust the volume and bass of your hearing aids; this is accessible while in the Iphone program, but after some inactivity, the aids will revert back to the normal program. The programs screen, where the user can change between programs is also inaccessible. VoiceOver says "dimmed", but the buttons do notactivate. Because you cannot change the aids to the manual program, you cannot create favorites. If this part of the app was accessible, then you could save your settings as a favorite, and the aids would switch to that program automatically as you near a destination. It is rather unfortunate that these aids have an inaccessibleapp.

On the positive side, you can make modifications to the Iphone program and turn up and down the bass, treble as well as the volume control during music playback or during normal use. Has anyone had success with a made for Iphone aid? It's really nice not to have to wear something separate around your neck.
