The Sony Hearing control app is a powerful tool that allows users to customize and control their Sony CRE-E10 or CRE-C10 Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aid. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices, and it provides users with a range of features and settings that can be adjusted to their preferences.
How it Works
Let’s start at the beginning. Luckily, it’s an easy 3-step process!
- First, download the app.
- Next connect a phone to the hearing aids.
- Then choose the settings!
How do I download the Sony Hearing Control App?
To use the Sony Hearing control app, users must first download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. (If you are new to all this… don’t worry! Just use one of the links in the previous sentence go to the app download page. If you have an Apple phone, use the Apple App Store link. If you have an Android phone, use the Google Play Store link.) Easy! (Or hopefully easy!)
Once the app is downloaded, users can pair their Sony CRE-E10 or Sony CRE-C10 hearing aid with their smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth. This allows the app to communicate with the hearing aid and make real-time adjustments to the settings.
How do I pair the Sony app with my hearing aids?
This one is tricky to answer specifically, because the instructions that would be most helpful, would be very specific to which phone or tablet is being used. While there are far too many devices on the market to provide device-specific steps in this article, GOOD NEWS! We will try to help! Our best suggestion is to use one of these following links to get an understanding of the process, and if you still need more specifics, try using a search engine with a query such as “bluetooth pair” followed by the make and model of your device.

Once the hearing aid is paired with the app, users can begin customizing their hearing experience. The app includes a range of settings that can be adjusted, including volume, sound quality, and noise reduction. Users can also select from a range of pre-set sound profiles, such as “Indoor,” “Outdoor,” “Restaurant,” and “Music.”
Advanced Features
In addition to these basic settings, the Sony Hearing control app includes a range of more advanced features. For example, the app includes a directional microphone that allows users to focus on specific sounds or conversations. The app also includes a feedback control feature that helps to prevent whistling and other unwanted noises. We encourage you to explore these settings to find the ones that work best for you.
Real-time Feedback
One of the standout features of the Sony Hearing control app is its ability to provide real-time feedback on the user’s hearing experience. The app includes a built-in hearing test that allows users to test their hearing and track their progress over time. The app also includes a noise level monitor that provides real-time feedback on the surrounding noise levels.
Should I Enable Notifications and Alerts?
Another useful feature of the Sony Hearing control app is its ability to provide users with notifications and alerts. For example, the app can notify users when the battery on their hearing aid is running low, or when they need to clean or maintain their Sony CRE-E10 or Sony CRE-C10 hearing aid. Simply due to the convenience of maintenance and battery related notifications, it is our view that there is great value by having these notifications and alerts enabled. Fortunately, you can always try it one way, and then change the setting as you change your mind.
