Some features of hearing aids require internet access, such as the following:
  • Firmware update
  • Remote consultation
  • In-app hearing screening
  • Synchronization of hearing profile
Was this answer helpful?
You are required to access the app during the initial setup of your Orka Two for synchronization of hearing profile based on your audiogram. If you don't have an audiogram, you're advised to take our in-app hearing screening. This ensures your hearing aids are optimally programmed to your hearing level, providing you the best possible hearing experience.
After the initial setup, you may use your hearing aids without using the app. The app is designed to enhance the overall user experience by providing additional controls and customization options, but it is not neccessary to operate the hearing aids.
Other than controlling your Orka Two with the app, you can also use the buttons on the charging case to adjust volume and change between the hearing aid programs.
Was this answer helpful?
Having hearing aids that are programmed to your hearing level ensures you the best possible hearing experience. The screening helps determine the quietest sounds you can hear at different frequencies. Thus, you should take the in-app hearing screening if you don't have an audiogram.
The in-app hearing screening is calibrated with Orka Two hearing aids for more accurate results compared to common online hearing screening.
Before the screening, you will be guided and instructed by Orka's interactive animated tutorial. During the screening, make sure you tap on "I hear the beep" whenever you hear the tone presented. Once the screening is complete, the screening results will be shown and can then be used to customize your hearing profile by tapping on "Generate hearing profile".
Was this answer helpful?
No, the in-app hearing screening cannot replace a clinical hearing test conducted by a hearing care professional. It can be useful as preliminary, self-administered screening tools to find out your estimated hearing level and the results can be used to program your Orka hearing aids.
Was this answer helpful?
Yes. Tinnitus could affect your screening results by making it harder for you to identify the pure tone you hear during the screening process.
If you have any concerns about the results, you're recommended to vist a hearing clinic and consult an audiologist or hearing care professional in your area for comprehensive evaluation.
Was this answer helpful?
Yes. Firmware updates will be released from time to time to improve Orka Two's performance, features and stability. By connecting your Orka Two to the app, you can have your hearing aids and charging case up-to-date with the latest firmware version to ensure that you benefit from advancements in technology, enhanced functionalities and potential bug fixes. Simply go to "Menu" - "My Account" - "Firmware Update" to update the firmware version of your hearing aids and charging case.

If you have never had your hearing tested before, and are wondering if you need hearing aids, Orka online hearing screening can give suggestions, and let you know if Orka hearing aids can help with your current hearing loss. You may use the results to get a customized hearing solution with Orka hearing aids.
*Orka online hearing screening is not to replace a professional clinical hearing test. It is for informational purposes only.
Was this answer helpful?
An online hearing screening gives you a preliminary assessment of your current hearing ability. While it is not a replacement for a clinical evaluation conducted by a hearing professional such as an audiologist, it can still provide valuable insights. From an online hearing screening, you can learn:
  • Estimated level of your hearing ability
  • Awareness of your hearing health and care
  • Whether you need to take further actions
  • Whether you're a candidate for Orka hearing aids
*It is important to note that online hearing screening have limitations and cannot replace a professional hearing assessment. Factors like the quality of your headphones or speakers, environmental noise, and the absence of bone conduction testing can affect the accuracy of the screening results. If you suspect you have hearing difficulties or your online screening results indicate a potential issue, it’s crucial to consult an audiologist or hearing care professional for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized recommendations.
Was this answer helpful?
To conduct an online hearing screening, you will need the following:
  • A quiet and comfortable environment: Select a quiet room or space where you can take the screening without any background noise or distractions.
  • A reliable internet connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection to access the screening platform and avoid any interruptions during the screening.
  • A computer, tablet, or smartphone: Access the online hearing screening using a computer or mobile device with a web browser.
  • Quality headphones or earphones: Preferably closed and wired earbuds. Avoid using low-quality earphones or built-in speakers, as they may distort the sounds and affect the screening results.
  • Time and focus: Allow sufficient time to complete the screening. It usually takes around 10-20 minutes. Ensure you can focus on the screening without any interruptions.

Was this answer helpful?
There is no need to take the online hearing screening again if you have a copy of your clinical-based audiogram within one year. We suggest that you take a clinical hearing test every year. If you haven't done so, you can also take our online screening to see if your hearing loss has changed.
Was this answer helpful?

Hearing aids are not intended to treat tinnitus. Hearing loss and tinnitus often occur simultaneously. Hearing aids amplify external sounds, making it easier for individuals with hearing loss to hear better. Improved hearing abilities can shift focus away from the tinnitus, resulting in the perception of reduced tinnitus sounds as the brain pays more attention to the external sounds.

Warranty & Insurance

Eligibility for insurance coverage or government healthcare programs, such as FSA/HSA, may vary depending on a variety of factors including benefit periods, allowances, and ages. While many insurers and healthcare programs often view hearing aids as alternatives and thus provide limited coverage, some may still offer some level of coverage. To find out if Orka hearing aids are covered under your individual plan or healthcare programs, it is advisable to check directly with your insurance provider or program administrator for more specifics. You may require a medical diagnosis of hearing loss from a qualified audiologist. In the event you are eligible for a hearing aid benefit from your insurance provider or healthcare programs, you can file a claim using our official receipt. Orka can provide further assistance in filing your claim if necessary. While we provide reasonable assistance with claims, we do not guarantee insurance or healthcare programs( for example FSA/HSA) eligibility, explicitly or implicitly, and our assistance does not guarantee claim success. Please be aware that we do not provide professional advice. It is important to seek individual advice rather than solely relying on the terms of our products and services. Please note, you are accountable for your own damages or losses in connection to insurance or healthcare programs and your usage of our products or services. Orka is happy to provide further assistance if needed. Feel free to contact us. We are always happy to help!
