### 1/5 — 高音は検査不能

*2025-05-06, version 1.0.42*

イヤホンは密閉型出ないと時差実音と混ざりわかりにくいだけ。
低音が増幅しすぎ高音は増幅不足、ボリュームを上げると自分の呼吸音が鮮明に聞こえるだけ。

### 2/5 — ソフトウェアの出来が悪すぎる

*2024-05-05, version 1.0.40*

able aidの機械そのものの出来はまずまずでしょう。本体をiPhoneにBluetooth接続する際、iPhone側がAble aidを見つけられずペアリングできなかったり、ペアリングできたと思えばAble EQアプリではAble BLEとして認識されたり。iPhoneとの接続に難があります。音を集める前に精神的にストレスがたまりました。

### 1/5 — Bluetooth接続の補聴器を認識しない。

*2023-10-20, version 1.0.40*

イヤホン、ヘッドホンと接続してください、のステップで積みました。補聴器をイヤホンとしていつも使用していますが、Bluetoothで接続しているのに、次のステップに進ませてくれず。 改善をお願いします。

### 5/5 — 友人へのプレゼントに👍

*2022-11-14, version 1.0.39*

APD の症状がある友人にable aidをプレゼントしました。長い間、会話が聞き取りづらく困っていましたが、「雑音が消えて聞こえやすくなった」「アプリでフォーカスできるのが便利」と気に入ってくれています。

### 5/5 — 大変気に入ってます

*2022-06-16, version 1.0.36*

母の日にable aidをプレゼントし、私がアプリで調整してます。
補聴器などの知識はありませんが、直感的な操作で簡単に調整できました。
このアプリを通じて母親とのコミュニケーションも増え、大変気に入ってます。

### 2/5 — 音の遅れがひどい

*2022-05-05, version 1.0.36*

加齢による難聴が改善されると期待して使用して(appleのairpodsに適用して)みましたが、イヤホンからの音は耳から入る実音に比べて1/4〜1/5秒遅れて聞こえて聴きづらいです。able eqなしだと遅れはあまり気になりませんから、able eqの処理が遅いせいだと思います。難聴対策にはならないと感じました。

### 4/5 — 細かく調整できるのに複雑じゃない

*2021-09-29, version 1.0.33*

左右の耳別に調整できます。直感的に操作できて分かりやすいです。

### 4/5 — 使いやすい

*2021-09-28, version 1.0.33*

良いアプリだと思います

### 5/5 — わかりやすい

*2021-09-07, version 1.0.33*

説明なしでも問題なく使えてます。
なので、普段あまりスマホを使わない友人にもオススメしてます。

### 5/5 — able aidとセットで使ってます

*2021-08-31, version 1.0.33*

細かい調整もテンプレートも全部使えて無料なのはめちゃくちゃ良い！
