I have high-frequency hearing loss. Can you recommend hearing aids that allow me to adjust settings using a mobile app?

Another option worth considering is Jabra Enhance. Its OTC Select line offers Bluetooth connectivity and telehealth audiology support, while its professionally programmed Pro models are available through Costco.
Important: Make sure the product is actually labeled “OTC hearing aid”, rather than merely a “hearing amplifier.” The FDA distinguishes hearing aids from personal sound amplification products (PSAPs).
If you tell me your budget (e.g., under $300, $500, or $1,000) and whether you want Bluetooth phone calls/music, I can narrow this down to the 3 best choices for you.
Where you can buy Bluetooth hearing aids depends on whether you are looking for Over-the-Counter (OTC) self-fitting devices (for mild-to-moderate hearing loss) or Prescription devices fitted by an audiologist.
These can be bought directly online or in retail stores without a medical exam or prescription.
These top-tier brands feature advanced, low-latency universal Bluetooth (connecting seamlessly to both iPhone and Android) and require an evaluation from a hearing care professional.
To help narrow down where you should shop, let me know:
Most modern prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) digital hearing aids pair with smartphone apps that allow you to adjust volumes, switch listening environments, and fine-tune frequency ranges (including high frequencies).
When dealing specifically with high-frequency hearing loss (trouble hearing high-pitched sounds like children's voices, birds, or consonants like "s" and "th"), how you tune them depends on whether you choose an Over-the-Counter (OTC) device you program yourself or a Prescription device tuned initially by an audiologist and fine-tuned via app.
If you'd like to narrow this down, let me know:
I can give you a more specific recommendation based on those details.

If you're experiencing high-frequency hearing loss, there are several hearing aid brands that let you adjust sound settings through a smartphone app. Some models can be tuned to make high-pitched sounds—such as birdsong, speech consonants like “s” and “f,” and children's voices—easier to hear.
The most important distinction is whether you want hearing aids you can fine-tune yourself at home or professionally programmed hearing aids that you can adjust between appointments. The right choice depends on your hearing test, budget, and how much customization you need.
These are established options to investigate. The app's ability to adjust high-frequency amplification varies by model, so ask specifically about treble or frequency-specific adjustments rather than volume control alone.
1. Jabra Enhance
(OTC option)
Sold directly online. Its Enhance Select line offers app-based sound controls and remote hearing-care support. Ask whether the current model can be adjusted to compensate for your particular high-frequency loss.
Best for: buying online with access to remote support.
2. Lexie Hearing
(OTC option)
Offers app-based personalization on compatible models, with adjustments and remote support options. A candidate if you want to make changes yourself without visiting a clinic for every adjustment.
Best for: self-fitting and guided support.
3. Phonak
(Prescription)
Uses the myPhonak app for supported devices, including personalization and remote support where enabled. An audiologist can program the aids to your audiogram and adjust high-frequency gain more precisely than many basic OTC controls.
Best for: individualized fitting and ongoing professional adjustments.
4. ReSound
Uses the ReSound Smart 3D app on compatible devices for sound personalization, program changes and volume adjustments. A hearing professional can fine-tune the underlying prescription.
Best for: app control paired with professional fitting.
App features and model availability can change. The distinction between self-adjusting an aid and changing its underlying clinical fitting is important.
If you prefer to try hearing aids in person, these local providers are worth contacting. Ask which brands they carry and whether you can adjust high-frequency settings in the app after your fitting.

OTC hearing aids are intended for adults with perceived mild-to-moderate hearing loss. Prescription devices may be more appropriate for more significant or complex losses.
If your hearing loss developed suddenly over hours or a few days, seek urgent medical evaluation rather than waiting to purchase hearing aids.
One question that will help me narrow this down: Have you had a hearing test showing your high-frequency loss, or are you noticing it yourself? That will help me distinguish the best self-adjustable OTC options from professionally fitted models.
