Hearing Aid App, With the Medical Disclaimer Up Front
An explainer and free sound-amplification app for iPhone and Android that uses headphones to make speech easier to hear in specific situations.
Field notes
The site frames amplification as a situational experiment rather than a substitute for professional hearing care. Its suggested protocol separates adjustment from genuine benefit: test in one loud setting after the first few days, keep the same headphones, and compare loud-room results with ordinary quiet-room hearing. The page also offers a practical stopping rule: persistent difficulty in quiet rooms should prompt professional evaluation rather than a longer app trial.
