The Eargo app needs to remain open and your Charger must be nearby your mobile device for a successful update via Bluetooth. Remember, the average range for Bluetooth is approximately 33 feet.

Remove the magnetic lid, then reposition or remove and reinsert your Hearing Devices. When Eargo 5 is inserted properly, the Hearing Device and Cradle Indicator lights will slowly pulse white. Take a quick peek at the Charger Indicator Light at the bottom of your Charger. The Charger Indicator Light will be solid white when your device is unplugged and you have an adequate charge. When your device is running low and needs to be plugged in, you’ll see a rapid white double-flash. If needed, plug your Charger into a power source before trying to connect to the app again.

If Bluetooth is already turned on, switch it off and then turn it back on again before trying to reconnect to the Eargo app. Additionally, check your WiFi or cellular signal to ensure you have a strong connection and make adjustments as needed.

If the Eargo app won’t respond, you can close it and then re-open it to try again.
