POWERFUL SOUND AMPLIFIER Fine-tune the volume to your comfort and hear the world the way it's meant to be heard, in real time — a soft-spoken friend, a lecture from the back row, or the TV across the room. Your iPhone's volume buttons set the level, so you can adjust without looking at the screen. ONE-TAP PRESETS FOR EVERY ROOM Switch between Conversation, Noisy Place, and TV & Media, and a six-band equalizer reshapes the sound for you — lifting the frequencies that carry speech and cutting the rumble that buries it. A live visualiser shows exactly what each preset is doing. BALANCE FOR EACH EAR Hear differently on one side? Set the left and right levels independently until both ears feel even.
