About
hearUP amplifies the sound around you, live, straight into your headphones. Turn it on, set the level, and quiet speech across a table or from the front of a room comes through clearly.
Everything is processed on your phone. No account, no sign-up, nothing uploaded.
HOW IT WORKS
Your phone's microphone picks up the room. hearUP raises the level, shapes the tone to bring speech forward, and sends it to your headphones with very little delay. A live meter shows what the microphone is picking up so you can see it working.
LISTENING MODES
Rooms are not the same, so one setting does not fit all of them.
- Conversation lifts nearby speech and trims the low rumble a room adds
- Television makes dialogue clearer over music and effects
- Lecture reaches for a voice at the far end of a large room
- Outdoors pulls wind and traffic out from under the voices
There is also a noise gate that mutes the constant hiss between words, so a quiet voice stands out instead of swimming in background noise.
BUILT TO PROTECT YOUR HEARING
Amplified sound in headphones can damage hearing, so the safety limits are not optional extras here:
- A hard limiter is always on and cannot be switched off. Sudden noises - a door, a siren, a dropped plate - are clamped instead of being amplified into your ears.
- Headphones are required. hearUP will not amplify to the phone speaker, because the microphone would pick up its own output and howl. If you unplug mid-session, listening stops by itself.
- Amplification starts low and its ceiling is deliberately modest. This is an assistive amplifier, not a stage amp.
Start low, raise it only until speech is comfortable, and take breaks. If it feels uncomfortable it is already too loud.

WHAT THIS IS NOT
hearUP is a sound amplifier. It is not a hearing aid and not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or correct hearing loss, and it is not a substitute for professional care.
If you are having trouble hearing day to day, or you have ringing, pain, or a sudden change in your hearing, please see a doctor or an audiologist. A hearing aid is fitted to your specific hearing by a professional; an app amplifying a phone microphone is a different thing entirely, however useful it is in the moment.
Please do not use hearUP while driving, cycling, or anywhere you need to hear traffic and warnings normally.
PRIVACY
Audio is processed live on your device and is never uploaded. Nothing is recorded unless you start a recording yourself, and those files stay on your phone. There is no account and no analytics.
