I helped fund the 1st trial of My Olive hearing aids. Months ove waiting for hearing aids that didn't work well. The sound for Bluetooth music was good. I signed up for the Olive Max, waited, waited, and waited. I found the Max to be uncomfortable, not securely fitting, and completely useless as hearing aids. Recharging is a problem, tried the recommendation for charging tips, not much help. I recently downloaded the latest update. Now my Olive Max units scream at any volume level. Junk!

No hearing test. I've used an older version of this app with an older set of olive earbuds. I now have the Olive Max (updated to the latest firmware) but only have the option of selecting one of three presets (or using the AI to do it for me). Although the guide says the hearing test is available in settings, it is not. This device is worthless without the in-app hearing test to properly set the amplification for various frequencies. Going back in the drawer for now until you fix this.

The sound is great, with a setting test built into the app (similar to a hearing test that would be done by an audiologist). And I love the dual functionality. On the down side, they do *not* work as ear buds without the Olive app resident, and the app will not load onto my tablet. That means I cannot use the devices as ear buds for my tablet. Also, I need to recharge about 3 times per day.
