QuestionI will try and clarify my question. Can two people with these Nuheara boost simultaneously us a blue tooth hot point device add to tv to listen?
Asked 7 years ago by yar60.
- Answer Yes. The Avantree Oasis TV Transmitter (recommended by Nuheara) allows for "dual link pairing", meaning that you can pair two sets of IQbuds BOOST with the device simultaneously. Note that your buds will NOT be paired with your phone once paired with the Avantree unit. However all your tap touch controls (world on/off) will work while using the TV transmitter device.

QuestionIf these are intended for seniors, who mostly are on a fixed income, then why are these so expensive?!
Asked 7 years ago by BudHa.
- Answer Hearing aids generally start at $5000 and up to $10000. $500 is a good deal if a senior can use these versus hearing aids. Medicare does not cover hearing aids.

QuestionI currently wear some very expensive hearing aids. I have a 60% loss in my left ear and a 50% loss in my right ear will these work for me? I have a hard time with a woman's voice and little girls voices.
Asked 7 years ago by rsbob.
- Answer I had bought these for my husband who has 60% hearing loss to his left ear. In hope this would help as well. He said it didn't work at all as it just amplifies everything. Also you will have to set these up which he was unable to do because he couldn't hear the tones. I ended up taking them back. These may work with someone with minor loss.

QuestionOnce the buds are set up via your smartphone, do they have to continuously be connected to your smartphone via bluetooth if you just want to use them as normal amplifying devices (i.e. not streaming media)?
Asked 7 years ago by TBattles.
- Answer Hi TBattles, Once you have personalised the buds for your hearing via the App, you only need to connect to Bluetooth if you would like to stream media. The IQbuds do not need to be connected to Bluetooth if you would like to only use them for hearing augmentation.

QuestionWill Best Buy let you try these in the store?
Asked 7 years ago by Tonenotvolume.
- Answer These aren't something you would want to "try" in the store. You need to take them home, fit them, set them up, and be amazed at what they can do. You do need to wear them in different settings to really see the full benefits of them. I do believe they are returnable within a certain number of days, but if you try them and hear what they can do, I dont think you will want to return them. I wear them in a busy restaurant with loud music playing , and I can still hear what my family is saying at the other end of the table.

QuestionAre these capable of setting up different hearing profiles for each ear independent of each other?
Asked 7 years ago by burbanite.
- Answer Yes they do.... after fitting the earbuds to your ears with choice of several size adapters, the setup will independently test each ear and adjust each earbud accordingly. The step of fittng the adapters is very important to accurate adjustment settings. I ended up using a different size adapter in each ear. In my case my left ear hearing level is much worse than my right ear. After setting these up I dont have to turn my "good" ear to someone to hear them better anymore.

QuestionIs there insurance availability for the IQBUDS BOOST?
Asked 7 years ago by JustDaniel.
- Answer Insurance plans vary so much that this question is next to impossible to answer. I would contact my insurance company and get a pre-authorization before I depended on them to pay anything at all. My guess, after nearly 25 years in the health care industry is that they will not be covered.

Questionis this product an alternative to a hearing aide for an old person with severe hearing loss ?
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I would answer that with “sort-of.” I have pretty severe hearing loss in one ear and I can hear better with the buds in. You can’t control them separately, so you would get the same amount of amplification in both ears. They also only last a few (3 maybe?) hours on a charge before you have to put the buds back in the case for a half-hour or so. One of my big issues is hearing on the phone, so I use them as a regular Bluetooth earbud for phone calls. Unfortunately, the sound level on both ends of the call is inconsistent. After three weeks, I give them a 2-3.

QuestionHow do I set up new Nuheara IQ Boost ear buds if I don't own a smartphone? ..... Will they work at average audio settings straight out of the box?
Asked 7 years ago by Augustus.
- Answer Unfortunately, you need a smartphone in order to use this product. The IQbuds app walks you through the set up process and then it takes you through a quick hearing test which autocalibrate your buds for how you hear.
