Good and Bad
Personally, as a recent CI recipient, I find the exercises very helpful. They’re not perfect but they’re a good adjunct to some other exercises I do. What I don’t like is your lack of responsiveness to my inquiry on your website. I have tried repeatedly to upgrade but every time I try, I get a message that says in-app purchases are not allowed. If that’s the case, then how am I able to upgrade????

Too many glitches
I really love the idea of this app. Unfortunately it is extremely glitchy. Sometimes it will not let me exit the app and I have to shut off my phone to get out of it. Other times the audio is just a wall of static. It has a function to send the audio to just one of your ears BUT IT NEVER WORKS! It is really a shame because it could be a great resource.

Not fun anymore
Hearoes used to be the best in a pretty dismal field of hearing apps for people with cochlear implants. That isn’t saying much, is it? The competition was, and is, pretty bad. Since early July 2026, Hearoes changed the way they score, making it much more difficult to follow one’s progress, and frankly, much less fun. It used to be kind of an enjoyable challenge. Now it’s just drudgery. I liked to see how quickly I could respond to get more points for a correct answer. Basically the same exercises haven’t changed, but they’ve drained any fun out of them. The “scoring”, such as it is, is confusing and pretty meaningless, eliminating any sense of accomplishment.

Errors in Level 3 & 4
Within the app, you can give feedback. In the late fall there was a major update to the app with significant improvements making it well worth the $10 per month. However, there were error errors in the updates, which I told them about within the app in early December. It is now February and the errors have not been corrected. In a paid app, I would expect the developers to be more responsive. The errors relate to several activities that are missing the background noise and levels three and four. For example BL/L Male and S/ SW Female.
This continues to be the best app I have found for improving my use of my new cochlear implant. I really hope they make the corrections soon.

Very Disappointed. Not for Americans.
The concept is good, but the execution leaves something to be desired. The speakers have British accents. My husband recently had a cochlear implant, and I downloaded this app in order to mirror it on our television for better sound quality. Even with the enhanced sound quality, he and I both have some difficulty understanding (I have no hearing loss) some words. It would seem that in order to help someone with a new cochlear implant, speaking a bit more slowly and distinctly would be helpful. Some consonants seem to be swallowed, so he cannot hear the difference between the words. The speech is rapid and clipped. I know that in ordinary conversation, people don’t speak slowly and distinctly, but as an exercise for someone trying to learn to understand speech with a cochlear implant, one would expect the early exercises to be pronounced with more distinct enunciation, then working up to speaking more rapidly in later exercises. Combine that with the differences in inflection between American and British speech and it’s a set-up for failure if you’re American. My husband was discouraged after the first few rounds of exercises. What an individual needs at the early stages of trying to hear with a cochlear implant is a feeling of some success, not failure.

Hearing progress
I truly love this app /game. It makes my hearing journey fun. I find that I happily train without realising and I can see improvements. The program seems to adjust to focus on sounds that I am struggling with. Learning to re-hear is difficult but this makes it easier and has some speed to it. Love it thank you

Can you help me with Improving Listening and Hearing Conversations?
I am having troubles listening!
Amazing and one of a kind
Hearoes is truly one of a kind, offering a unique and engaging way to retrain your brain to recognize words and sounds, especially for those using cochlear implants. As someone on this journey, I’ve found this app incredibly helpful in making the process both fun and effective. The interactive features and gamified exercises transform what could be a daunting task into something enjoyable, which has made a noticeable difference in my progress.
One of the standout benefits of Hearoes is how it accelerates hearing improvement. It provides a structured yet approachable platform that feels tailored to the needs of individuals like me, making each small step forward feel like a victory.
The only downside, in my opinion, is the pricing model. While I completely understand the value of the app, it would be great to have the flexibility of monthly payment options for the membership instead of committing to longer-term plans upfront.
Overall, Hearoes is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to enhance their hearing journey. Despite the pricing concern, I believe its benefits far outweigh any drawbacks. Highly recommended for those in need of hearing rehabilitation!

Stripped away everything
They stripped away everything that was once available and made it paid. Monetizing illness is something serious and they should be ashamed.
Terrible,it wasted me 10 minutes .
pure waste of the time, after the annoying login in process, I enter even more annoying stupid interface……
Great app
I don’t know if this existed four years ago when I got implanted the first time, but I just got my second implant and I have been rehabbing that ear. I have an inherited congenital hearing disability nonsyndromic, so my journey has been very long, through growing up in an oralist environment with hearing aids to learning ASL and finally first getting implanted when I was 36.
I’m not sure what I was trying to say, but it’s not worth re-typing all this. Anyway, good app. Enjoyed the gamification. I don’t understand the chart at the end of each activity. Why does it show a history of scoring 0 if I just started using the app? How does it explain whether I’m making progress or not? Does it work by week or by day? Can it be made configurable?

Ripoff
Tried to do just the basic rehab which is supposed to be free, instead I was blocked and taken directly to a subscription for the premium plan. Don’t advertise as having a free option if it’s not true!
Very useful
I’m a new recipient of binaural cochlear implants, for almost 23 years my hearing was impaired and being able to hear again is nothing less than a modern marvel and miracle, Hearoes app helps me daily to get back to identifying and understanding words and speech, great job guys, thanks for making something like this for the many people like me, truly appreciated

App no longer free
Unable to continue my audio recovery with my cochlear implant due to the device is now asking to pay to use the service when it was free.
Great app, still a few bugs
Environmental sounds in review mode doesn’t work- the sounds don’t play all!
In-app Feedback form is broken- can’t add new lines, Submit button doesn’t respond.
Some spelling mistakes.
Otherwise a great app! Has really helped my hearing progress.

Brilliant but expensive
The best cochlear therapy app I’ve found. It is depressingly expensive though. I really do think they’ve priced it too high.
Working great.
I am a new CI user and this is the most usable ear training app that I have tried.
Genuinely an amazing app
I love this app. All of the repeats and features such as background noises, (or not) accents, the daily plan, how easy it is, how entertaining it is. Great app all around.
Implanted four months ago and activated three months ago and struggling
I wish I could tell you that everything is going peachy. I am using this app that my audiologist downloaded for me. I am hoping for a miracle! C’mon heroes I am still positive! Patiently waiting!
Lost and found
Over the five-year period of my being deaf, I cannot believe how much sound I have forgotten. This is great.
