How to make an app for a hearing aid centre

A hearing aid centre stays in touch with each customer for years: a trial before the sale, battery refills every few weeks, a cleaning every few months, a warranty that ends one day. An app for the centre keeps every customer's aid, trial, warranty and service history together and shows who needs a call this week.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

The centre: the owner, the audiologist and the front desk. One phone can keep the data on that phone. If two or three people use their own phones, or you have a second branch, connect your own Supabase database so everyone sees the same customers.

The screens a hearing aid centre app needs

This week: Trials ending, warranties ending soon, customers due for cleaning and battery customers who may be running low
Customers: Search by name or a family member's phone; each customer's aids, test reports attached as photos and history
Trials: Aid given on trial, the start and return dates, and whether it was bought or returned
Sales and warranty: Aid type, serial number typed in, sale price, warranty end date and the bill
Service: Cleaning, repairs and ear mould orders with status: received, sent for repair, ready, collected
Batteries: Battery sales by customer and date, with refills to suggest

Features worth asking for

A this-week list built from trial, warranty and service dates
WhatsApp buttons with messages ready for the customer or a family member: trial ending, repair ready, time for a cleaning
A second phone number per customer for a son or daughter who handles visits
Bills and warranty cards as PDFs to share or print
Repair status from received to collected
Large text and buttons for staff who prefer them

Where the data lives

On one phone, the data stays on that phone and works offline. For more staff phones or a second branch, connect your own Supabase database from the chat; for taking payments online, connect your own Razorpay account too.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: This week, Customers, Trials, Sales and warranty, Service.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your hearing aid centre, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my hearing aid centre, Sruthi Hearing Centre, Coimbatore. Screens: this week, customers, trials, sales and warranty, service and batteries. Each customer has their own phone and a family member's phone, the aids they own and photos of test reports. Trials have start and return dates and an outcome. Sales record the aid type, serial number, price and warranty end date, with a bill PDF. Service tracks cleaning and repairs by status. The this-week list shows trials ending, warranties ending soon and cleanings due, each with a WhatsApp button. Orange and white colours.

Tips for a hearing aid centre app

Start with customers, trials and sales. Add batteries and service once you've used it for a week or two.
Ask for a family member's phone on every customer; many older customers want their children to get the messages.
Type serial numbers carefully at the sale; they matter for warranty and repairs later.
Test reports are health information, so keep the phone locked and use sign-in if staff use their own phones.
Try a complete trial-to-sale-to-service cycle with a test customer before you move your register in.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to audiometers, hearing aid fitting software, barcode scanners or billing machines; staff type in what they need. Reminders go out only when someone taps the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app track hearing aids given on trial?

Yes. Ask for a trials screen with start and return dates and the outcome, and trials ending this week show up on the first screen.

Can it remind customers about warranty or cleaning?

It lists who is due, and a button opens WhatsApp with the message ready. Staff send it to the customer or their family member.

Can the app read results from our audiometer?

No. AppCub doesn't connect to testing machines; attach a photo of the report to the customer instead.

Can I record serial numbers?

Yes, typed in at the sale, or scanned from a barcode with the phone's camera in the installed app if you ask for it. Check them as you enter.

Can family members get the messages instead of the customer?

Yes. Ask for a second phone number on each customer and a choice of which number the WhatsApp button uses.

Can we use the app at home visits?

Yes. It runs on your Android phone, and with data kept on the phone it works without internet. If you connect Supabase, the phone needs internet to reach it.
