What have you done?!?!
This app used to work very well for me to communicate with my elderly Dad - but once it updated, it’s basically useless. Cuts off the last word of every sentence and simply doesn’t work 90% of the time. Please fix it
Response from developer
Glad it’s been helpful for you and sorry you’re experiencing issues. A new update is rolling out today to address some of the remaining bugs. I hope it helps address what you’ve experienced.

Incredible
This app is truly a godsend. It has helped me so much! Thank you for developing such a helpful application.
In a future update, it’d be great to be able to adjust the size of the font displayed.
In additon, I wish you didn’t have to hold your finger down on the screen as the person talks.
It’s nearly perfect.

Excellent
I use this all the time. Especially helpful when someone is wearing a mask. The quality of transcription is unusually accurate. Thank you eyehear!
Amazing
Thank you this app is Amazing helps in noisy environments
Lifesaver
My father is profoundly hard of hearing. Before I learned of this application from his audiologist, we were using a dry erase board to communicate with him. Use of this application has markedly improved the quality of our communication. I highly recommend.
Thank You, Eye Hear
I have never written an app review until now. My 88 year old father passed away two days ago. During one of his many hospital stays this past year, a physical therapist on staff showed us the Eye Hear app. It was life-changing for my dad and for my family. It allowed us to have normal conversations with him, which otherwise would not have been possible. We have since shared the Eye Hear app with many doctors, nurses, and aides. It is so easy to use and opens up a world of conversation that would otherwise be lost. My 84 year old mother became a pro at using it. We are so grateful! Thank you, Eye Hear.

one of the best free apps
I am a speech language pathologist (SLP). This app has completely revolutionized how I can work with patients in the hospital who are hard of hearing & either forgot or don’t own hearing aids. Families are always so grateful when I can show them a free & easy way to communicate with their loved ones. Thank you to whoever developed this & chose to keep it free. <3

We’d be lost without it!
My dad had a hearing aid for his one goodbear but we still had thrall loud and repeat often.
He is 92 and had sudden loss of all of his hearing now and he has dementia, but can still read. I don’t know what we would do without this app. We saw it in action with an ENT doctor in the ER. I literally don’t know how we would be managing without this app. It’s a game changer. I think you have an opportunity to promote this wider and farther with ENTs, hearing loss clinics etc

A family saver
My MIL’s father is 92 and totally deaf but sharp as a tack. Loves to converse with the family and learn about his (very large) families lives - grand kids and great grand kids etc. I’ve used a variety of apps and am the “tech guy” in the family but this app changed the families lives. I just got a note of gratitude out of the blue from my MIL thanking me again (we haven’t spoken in over 2 months). Well, the gratitude shouldn’t go to me - it’s really for the team who built and is supporting this app - THANK YOU!!! Granddad is in the hospital and even the doctors are so grateful to be able to communicate so easily. Really, truly a wonderful, simple, purpose built and perfect fit tool. Amazing example of working backwards from the customer and delivering exactly what is needed.

Useless
Unfortunately it captions only the first 2 words and then hangs, even if I’m standing right next to the speaker
Helpful but…
Can you make it so that I only have to press it once and don’t have to continue pressing in order to have continuous captions? Kind of like and on/off switch? That would be great!
Sending thanks and excitement
Thanks!! I LOVE your app, it’s a godsend. Still learning how to use utmost effectively. Sometime I have a hard time making it start, like it doesn’t register my finger press. But so worth it that I keep trying. How can I follow you to keep up with what you’re doing?
Love this! just a slight delay
My only feedback is that when you first press the screen there is currently a slight delay so if you speak too soon you’ll miss the first word or two. I’ve adapted and this app is a great for day to day conversations with my mom, who speaks but is deaf. It’s simplicity is key. We have long been using the notes app with the dictate function and this now makes it quicker and easier to say something and get it in front of her.
I like that you can switch to typing, which is also great if Siri gets a word wrong and you want to correct it.
We like Ava for things like family gatherings or longer conversations, but this is spot on for using for shorter interactions. Thanks!

EyeHear! Here! Here!
I’ve tried several apps for the deaf or HOH. I Just had my left ear implanted, my right one has been a few years, so I’m 100% deaf now, so no residual hearing. Of the apps I tried so I could go see a dr alone or fill out papers while someone gave me instructions (HaHa), all the apps I tried were not worth the time of day. Then a person in the Med El group I’m i, mentioned the EyeHear app, saying he was so happy with it.
THIS APP IS AWESOME!!
That’s all I need to say. It is so easy to use and while occasional mistakes occur, they are FEW and FAR between and likely due to the speakers speech pattern or enunciation.
THANK YOU FOR THIS APP! Many Blessings upon you!

Font size
The size of the captioning is way too large. Is there a way to change this?
Great service, but more…?
This is very useful with a friend that is hard of hearing. However, in a group, each person who wishes for him to understand needs to hold their phone and use EyeHear. It seems best to hold your phone near your chest so the person can see your face and read the text at the same time. This makes for a situation in a group setting where several other people are all holding their phone on their chest and one person is reading them.
While this is very helpful and appreciated, it seems you could go further.
What would be even better is to change the dynamic such that the person who is hard of hearing observes spoken text their OWN phone, and others, perhaps using AirPods attached to their phone, could Bluetooth the text to his phone, perhaps bracketed to show the speaker.
By this development, instead of everyone else having to do something to aid one person, that person can manage their own needs. Everyone would not need to hold their phone and show it to that person, making the conversation somewhat more natural and intimate.
From my view, this would require no new technology and clearly you are more than smart enough to figure this out.
Please consider!

Lifesaver of an App!
My mom moved into an assisted living facility two days before the COVID lockdown. We have not been allowed to visit her inside in over FIVE months. We are allowed window visits, but the windows must remain closed. I have a difficult time hearing her through the window with my excellent hearing, so I can’t imagine how difficult it would be for her to hear me! She has NO hearing in one ear, and only 30% in the other. She does fairly well at reading lips, but when she has to look through both a screen and a dirty window to see us, it’s hard.
This app has been a true Godsend during an extremely difficult time in her life. I prefer using my iPad so the screen is larger and easier for my mom to see. I hold the device in front of me facing her (or beside my face) so she can kind of get the whole conversation experience. I don’t even watch the screen. I just lift my finger every so often and keep talking. This has helped her stay more engaged in a conversation and really know every that is being said.
There are thousands of people in long-term care (LTC) facilities right now who are still on lockdown. There are so many caregiver social media pages, a couple of which I’m a member. Every chance I get, I tell other caregivers about this app because of their loved one’s hearing issues. Any time I tell someone about it and they try it, they love it!
This is a gem of an app that so many members of the Greatest Generation that ever lived who are now imprisoned in their LTC facilities could really benefit from.
If more LTC’s knew about this app, it would help the staff communicate with the residents since everyone is wearing masks now, which makes it rather difficult to read lips. My mom’s LTC never heard of EyeHear before I told them about it. And I love that you don’t take advantage of the hearing-impaired community and their disability by charging for this incredible service! Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m truly touched that eyeHear could help you and your mother communicate during this difficult time. I really appreciate you sharing eyeHear with other caregivers as well. These are the sorts of experiences that reinforce so many of the decisions made in developing eyeHear, such as finding a way to offer it for free. Thank you.
Siri problem
Well can’t use the app cause I get “Siri Unavailble” when I open the app ?
Checked my phone settings and Siri is allowed
Another hearing helper app that is not worth the time or space to down load
Might be nice if Siri was working in the app ?
