Rexton App

Rexton App: A Comprehensive Guide to Personal Hearing Aid Control

The Rexton App is a dedicated mobile application designed to give users direct control over their compatible Rexton hearing aids. This powerful tool transforms a smartphone into a personal remote, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments to sound settings and listening programs. The primary purpose of the Rexton App is to empower users by delivering a customized hearing experience tailored to their immediate environment and personal preferences, enhancing daily auditory clarity and comfort.

Individualized Listening Program Selection

Users begin by opening the Rexton App and connecting it to their hearing aids via Bluetooth. The main interface displays a list of pre-configured listening programs, such as "Speech in Noise" or "Music." The wearer simply taps to select the program most suited to their current situation, like a crowded restaurant. The Rexton App instantly sends the command to the hearing aids, which then adjust their sound processing algorithms accordingly. This allows for seamless adaptation to different acoustic environments throughout the day.

Manual Volume and Sound Balance Adjustment

This function provides granular control over audio levels. Within the Rexton App, users see sliders for overall volume and a separate balance control for each ear. By dragging these sliders left or right, the user can increase or decrease the loudness globally or correct for asymmetrical hearing loss by adjusting one side more than the other. The Rexton App applies these changes in real-time, offering immediate auditory feedback. This is essential for fine-tuning sound to a comfortable and clear level in any setting.

Tinnitus Masking Signal Management

For users experiencing tinnitus, the Rexton App includes a feature to generate a masking sound. The user navigates to the tinnitus section within the app, where they can activate a soothing signal, like white noise or ocean waves. They can then adjust the volume and type of this masking sound until it effectively covers the internal ringing sensation. Managing this relief signal directly through the Rexton App provides a discreet and immediate way to mitigate tinnitus discomfort without needing a separate device.

Battery Status Monitoring and Alerts

The Rexton App continuously communicates with the hearing aids to monitor their power levels. This information is displayed clearly on the app's home screen, showing the remaining battery charge for each device as a percentage. If the battery level drops below a critical threshold, the Rexton App can push a notification to the user's phone, serving as an early warning to replace or recharge the batteries soon. This proactive feature helps prevent unexpected hearing aid power failures.

Hearing Success and Satisfaction Logging

This feature supports long-term hearing care. The Rexton App provides a digital questionnaire where users can periodically document their listening experiences and overall satisfaction. They answer specific questions about performance in various scenarios, and this logged data is saved within the Rexton App. During an appointment, an audiologist can review this history directly from the app to make more informed, data-driven adjustments to the hearing aid’s programming, optimizing them for the user’s real-world needs.

Directional Hearing and Microphone Focus Control

Advanced hearing aid models allow users to control how sound is picked up. Through the Rexton App, a user can adjust the directional focus of the microphones. They might select an "All-Around" mode for general environments or a "Forward-Focus" mode to amplify sounds coming from directly in front of them, which is ideal for conversations. The Rexton App executes this change, helping to reduce background noise and improve speech intelligibility based on the user's immediate focus.
