Are you deaf and tired of lipreading? Even the best lipreaders follow ~22% of their conversations - imagine what you're missing out on. MyEar App was developed by Gerald Isobe, deaf hall-of-fame golfer and his son, Brandon. Gerald grew up lipreading but became frustrated with understanding only 30% of what was being said and tired of asking people around him "what are you talking about?" This app was created from those frustrations and it's an app he and others are using to communicate with their hearing colleagues, friends, and family.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hearview at Free against App MyEar's $14.99. Hearview also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 42%). App MyEar's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.6) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Hearview is free to download; App MyEar costs $14.99 up front. Hearview sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $59.99 per month. App MyEar asks for nothing beyond the download.
App MyEar holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App MyEar has 807 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of App MyEar's written reviews are positive against 60% of Hearview's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
