Hear Me Well is a tool that turns your iPhone in a very simple and easy to use hearing aid. Just put your iPhone or iPad between yourself and your interlocutor, connect your headphones and adjust the volume and, if needed, the noise reduction filter. But technically, how does it work? It works by processing and amplifying the sound picked up by the iPhone's microphone. It's perfectly compatible with any model of wired and wireless headphones, including the Apple AirPods. This app could be very useful in noisy environments such as bars and restaurants. Thanks to the specially designed noise reduction filter, any background noise can be reduced significantly. Hear Me Well works perfectly with the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch can be used to adjust remotely the volume, the balance and the noise reduction filter. This app is available for now in English, Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese. ## Key features - Sound amplification - Noise reduction filter - Volume adjustment - Headphone compatibility - Apple Watch remote control - Multi-language support ## Is Hear Me Well safe?

At first, I was confused by the simplicity of the interface. What was it meant to do? Was it doing anything? Oh, ok, turn it up a bit with *that* slider, and there it is - noticeable amplification of the primary noise (a human), and no amp on background noise. It appears, this app simply just works. Full score. However, like a previous reviewer, lacking the ability to tell the app that you are unable to hear a frequency during the calibration test reduces its accuracy. A second point on the calibration would be to allow a pause between tones. Press “start”, have the first tone run until “I can hear it”, then pause until “Start” is pressed again. I found the calibration inaccurate because I wasn’t able to press the “I can hear it” button fast enough as is, with one tone running into the next. As a fun aside, it’s a giggle placing your phone on your belly while your tummy rumbles; and I can guarantee my iPhone’s microphone is sensitive - amplifying my heartbeat nicely into my headphones. So the app is fun, as well as useful. ### 2/5 — Lost in setup *2019-09-07, version 1.7.2* Doesn’t progress past the hearing test (should it?) “Back” just backs out of the screens to the start, where you can skip or perform the hearing test. Skipping the hearing test, it keeps beeping, and says “connect your headphones”, which were already connected, and still beeping. (Bose QC35) Update 2019 September The hearing test seems to be a twitch test. After the first tone, I could hear all of the tones immediately. Something in the pipeline isn’t going quiet enough, or can’t. So it’s how fast can you click the “I can hear it” button. I got past the hearing test. There is some misalignment on several screens. In one place I’m to enter a profile name for the environment where the test was run, and press OK, but these 2 text fields overlap. I didn’t add a picture for my profile on that screen, so now I can’t add it. There’s no obvious menu, no way to restart the process. Perhaps if I add another profile, and delete the first. The audio processing seems OK, but there’s a lot of noise added. I’m also listening with pretty good noise-cancelling headphones, which might defeat the purpose. I really want this to work, as I’m really frustrated bynoisy environments. I’ll give it a shot next time. ### 2/5 — It may work for some people *2019-05-16, version 1.7.2* It seems to give you only the one option of “I can hear it” if you can’t well to bad just have to pretend you can even if you can’t just to progress through the setup ### 4/5 — So far so good! *2019-05-13, version 1.7.2* Been using the app for a little over an hour now, setup was a breeze although I wasn’t able to hear over 3000 but still had to sit through the higher pitches. Nonetheless, I can hear cars passing by in the street while I sit on the toilet! ### 1/5 — Good idea, but doesn’t quite work *2019-01-27, version 1.6* An interesting idea and if it worked would be brilliant. The lag is unacceptable and so you hear the voice a few milliseconds after a person has spoken, so effectively you hear things twice. Sadly this makes the app useless. If it could be refined to use with no lag, it could be amazing. ### 1/5 — Terrible don’t buy *2019-01-27, version 1.6* Delayed audio. Makes it impossible to hear and speak at the same time ### 2/5 — Does not work *2018-11-21* Followed instructions but mike is not picking TV and nothing comes through **Developer response:** Dear Manny, First of all thank you for downloading Hear Me Well. We are sorry to see that you did not have a good experience with it. We always do our best to help our users as much as we can, that’s why feedbacks are crucial for us.

I downloaded 2 free apps and they were junk, they claimed Bluetooth but that wasn’t true. Read the info on this app and it claimed it worked with AirPods and that’s what I wanted. Figured if it worked then it would be the cheapest hearing aides I could ever buy. Downloaded app and gave it a try and it was everything I wanted. I was having trouble hearing very faint beeps given off by an air conditioner that I was servicing and once I put my iPhone up by AC with app open so mic could hear, wow, they came through loud and clear. Now if they only work in a noisy bar or restaurant. Definitely 2 thumbs up. ### 5/5 — There is not a single app like it in the App Store! *2017-08-22* Fantastic app! Been searching all around for anything similar... Works perfectly.. iOS has this feature built in, but only for bluetooth hearing aid's. ## Frequently asked questions about Hear Me Well ### What is Hear Me Well?

The audio delay on bluetooth headphones has been reduced further, resulting in a less distracting and "echoey" quality of sound. Like always, you can use any headphone you like!

Nonetheless, we try our best to reduce the delay as much as we can. Another point we would like to remind is that Hear Me Well is not intended to amplify the sound of phone calls or your television. You can still perform these tasks, but by placing your iPhone next to the sound source.
