2.3 App Integration and Personalization
For advanced control and personalization, download the 'HearingSense' application on your smartphone (available for Apple and Android devices). This app allows you to perform a pure tone threshold audiometry test to determine your specific hearing needs and tailor the sound output of your hearing aids accordingly. It also offers various listening modes (Normal, Restaurant, Outdoor, Music) and allows for individual volume and noise reduction adjustments for each ear.
3. Operating Your Hearing Aids
3.1 Manual Controls
Each Audien Atom One hearing aid features physical controls for frequency adjustment and volume. These dials allow for quick adjustments to suit your immediate environment and personal comfort.

3.2 Listening Modes (via App)
The 'HearingSense' app provides specialized listening modes to optimize your experience in various environments:
- Normal: Standard listening for everyday situations.
- Restaurant: Reduces background noise to enhance conversation in busy settings.
- Outdoor: Optimizes sound for open-air environments, reducing wind noise and enhancing distant sounds.
- Music: Provides a richer audio experience for listening to music.
You can switch between these modes and fine-tune volume and noise reduction levels for each ear independently within the app.
3.3 Bluetooth Connectivity
The Audien Atom One hearing aids can also function as standard Bluetooth headphones, allowing you to stream audio from your connected devices.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Hearing Aids
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain optimal performance and hygiene. Use the included cleaning brush to remove any wax, dirt, or debris from the ear domes and the device itself. Ensure the charging contacts are clean and dry before placing the hearing aids back in the case.

Keep the charging case clean and free from debris. Store the hearing aids in the charging case when not in use to protect them and ensure they remain charged.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Common Issues and Solutions
- No Sound or Low Volume: Ensure hearing aids are fully charged. Check ear dome fit and clean for blockages. Adjust volume using the physical dials or the app.
- Feedback/Whistling: This often indicates an improper fit. Try a different size ear dome or re-insert the hearing aid more snugly. Ensure the device is clean.
- Connectivity Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the hearing aids are within range. Restart both the hearing aids (by placing them in the case and closing/opening) and your connected device.
- Inconsistent Sound: Perform the pure tone threshold audiometry test in the 'HearingSense' app to recalibrate settings based on your hearing profile.
5.2 When to Seek Professional Help
The in-app hearing test is designed for preliminary assessment and cannot replace a medical examination. If you continue to experience persistent hearing difficulties or discomfort, please consult a professional doctor or audiologist.
