The Rexton app is basically a remote control for your hearing aids that runs on your phone. It lets you tweak volume, change listening settings, and even fine-tune sound balance. You can also get real-time help from either your audiologist or an AI assistant called Rexton Assist. If your hearing aids support it, you can adjust directional hearing to focus on specific sounds, stream audio from accessories like a TV transmitter, and even get remote adjustments via TeleCare. The app works with both iPhone and Android, and setup involves a simple Bluetooth pairing process.

Adjustment BandsAdjustment BandsThese are frequency-divided sections that can be adjusted in a hearing aid in order to amplify sounds. Although there are rarely more than 10 frequencies measured in a hearing assessment, having more bands that can be adjusted may allow for improved speech understanding and user comfort.

DirectionalityDirectionalityDepending on the types and number of microphones a hearing aid has, the hearing aid may be able to boost sounds from specific directions (by reducing sounds from other directions). This can be helpful to focus on a speaker directly in front of the hearing aid user, as well as to give the user information about where different sounds are coming from.

This effect is typically reduced in hearing aids through venting or open-fit models. In some cases the perception of occlusion may also be reduced through software by adjusting the acoustic output of the hearing aid.
