The Bose SoundControl apps are iOS and Android compatible and use low-energy Bluetooth wireless connectivity with the mobile app. Each battery is rated to last up to four days when used 14 hours per day. Eight batteries come with the hearing aids. The Bose SoundControl Hearing Aids use hearing aid industry-standard 312 zinc-air batteries. Nuheara offers the above features, but Bose also has dedicated support through which users can set up one-to-one video appointments for help adjusting their hearing aids. There are also adjustable preset mode for different listening environments. Similar to settings in the latest Nuheara IQBuds Max devices, Bose SoundControl Hearing Aids can focus directly in front of the user to help hear conversations. Wearers can also adjust ambient sound levels and finetune frequency amplification based on their needs. The SoundControl Hearing Aids integrate Bose CustomTune technology that lets users personalize the hearing aid settings on their own using a mobile app. It seems pretty clear that the SoundControl devices are the release version of work-in-development that was previously called The Bose Hearing Aid.

People with hearing issues resisted buying hearing aids due to high cost (estimated at more than $2,000 per ear). with hearing impairment actually sought help. The FDA move followed a study that showed only 20% of the then 30 million people in the U.S. The SoundControl Hearing Aids are the next step in Bose’s 6-year technology trail after a 2016 FDA decision to stop enforcing hearing aid regulations that required a medical examination or special waiver in order purchase hearing aids. Sales in other states will follow, but Bose did not indicate when nationwide availability will occur.
