## What is App MyEar?

Are you deaf and tired of lipreading? Even the best lipreaders follow ~22% of their conversations -  imagine what you're missing out on.

MyEar App was developed by Gerald Isobe, deaf hall-of-fame golfer and his son, Brandon. 

Gerald grew up lipreading but became frustrated with understanding only 30% of what was being said and tired of asking people around him "what are you talking about?"

This app was created from those frustrations and it's an app he and others are using to communicate with their hearing colleagues, friends, and family.

### 5/5 — Group conversations

*2026-08-11, version 3.1.4*

You rock! When we’re in a group talking, dad had a hard time following the conversation. This solved it. Thank you so much! Being able to change the font size is what sold it to us.

The hearing impaired world need to understand that we’re not 100% yet and I need to work with these developers to help them give them constructive criticism from our side of the world one day we’re gonna wake up and this stuff is gonna be at 100% as inInnocaption and my ear app develop trying to accomplish people need to be patient here and not complain. This is new technology. We’re all at the same thing and that’s 100% and with our help he’s beautiful young people can make this happen for us. Patient and don’t be critical. We’re in a learning process.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-08-16*

Terrible no pick up the voice person speak..
Take while (so slow to start)…
Waste of money to pay ….

### 5/5 — NO MORE LIPREADING

*2024-01-12, version 3.1.4*

I just used MyEar on my iPad for informal family conversations. MyEar changed voice to text in real time. It was better than lipreading and reading the text on my iPad during our conversation was more accurate. MyEar is a life changing app for me and my family. I highly recommend using MyEar app on your iPad or IPhone..

### 3/5 — Fix this problem please

*2024-01-04, version 3.1.4*

### 1/5 — Won’t be able to use MyEar after iOS updates?

*2023-07-12, version 3.1.4*

I don’t know why , I love using it ever since it really helps me because I’m deaf. But lately as of recent iOS update for my iPhone 13 Pro Max and the latest iOS updated I tried open the MyEar app but it keeps shutting close. It won’t work. I don’t know why

### 2/5 — MyEar app

*2022-07-20, version 3.1.4*

They typed profanity words. Not too impressed with  their work.  Poor professional  rotational staff with lack of integrity and respect among the MyEar customers. Seeking reliable services elsewhere!!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2022-06-10, version 3.1.4*

Brandon, I just have to say .....you are a genius! My 92 year old mom has been hard of hearing for 30 plus years. The last 2-3 really bad(she doesn’t like the deaf word though) Her lip reading skills are not like they use to be. We have tried the hearing helper app, but it is no where as efficient as your is. We have tried writing tablets, use a lot of hand gestures, but as you know so frustrating. The reason I found your app tonight, was my Mom was quite pitiful as she came into the kitchen area where me and my sister were talking..and said...”I am so tired of not being able to be in a conversation with anybody, the two of you just don’t understand what it is like not to be able to hear and have conversations”. It was then I realized, have I just been complacent with what we had that I wasn’t searching for help anymore. So, I decided to search again....entered talk to text device for the deaf...and up your app came(okay maybe the the 4 th or 5 th thing on page). Anyway, I read the first review and downloaded it, tried it with mom and omg it picked up my every word and yes I could even change the font size and I can point the screen to hear as I am talking. I have the happy dance going on!!!

### 3/5 — Only works in a quiet setting with a deep voice.

*2022-04-19, version 3.1.4*

With covid and masks, unable to lip read. Sadly this doesn’t work very well. It does not pick up people talking. Especially women’s voices if at all . Not good in a public setting, sadly.
