**All phones must be running either Android KitKat (4.4.2 – 4.4.4), Lollipop (5.0 or higher) or Marshmallow (6.0.1). You can also find details on Android device compatibility in the description for the Kirkland Signature Choice app at Google Play or under ‘About the Kirkland Signature Choice app’ in the app’s Settings. Please note: hearing aids may need to be updated to the latest firmware to work with the app. This update is available through your hearing care professional.

 

Each sub variant of the phones listed above, e.g. Galaxy S5 Active or Galaxy S5 Mini, is modified by the local carrier in each country and we cannot guarantee direct compatibility for these. Therefore the app is only available for download on compatible devices.
If you already have one of the sub variants and a working direct connection to your hearing aids, we advise you not to upgrade to Android OS 6.0.1 or later at the moment.

†Kirkland Signature devices ordered prior to May 2015 may require a firmware update to be compatible with iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. If you encounter pairing issues with the above-mentioned hearing aids and iPhone models, please contact your Costco hearing aid professional to see if a firmware update is necessary.
