Account and Data Sync Requirements: An account may be required to back up settings and use remote support, which involves sharing device and usage data. Users concerned about health data should review privacy settings. 🔐

Dependence on Hearing-Care Professional: Advanced fitting changes often need a licensed provider, limiting direct in-app access to some premium adjustments. Remote services may still require appointments or additional fees. 📋
