Hear every word, clearly — wherever you are. Struggling to follow conversations in a noisy room? Wish people would just speak up? Listening Device: Clarive turns your iPhone into a powerful hearing aid and sound amplifier, so you catch every word — clearly and comfortably. Just connect your earphones and instantly amplify the world around you. No hearing-aid hardware. No appointments. No complicated setup. YOUR PERSONAL HEARING AID Turn up the voices that matter and soften the background noise that gets in the way. Clarive boosts quiet talkers so conversations feel effortless again — at home, in the car, at a restaurant, or across a crowded room. 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. LIVE CAPTIONS WHEN YOU'D RATHER READ Too loud to listen? Switch on Live Captions to read real-time, on-screen text of what's being said — ideal for meetings, classrooms, and busy places. Choose the text size that's comfortable to read. CAPTIONS IN YOUR LANGUAGE Live Captions work in many languages. Download the one you need and switch between them any time. KEEP WHAT WAS SAID Save a transcript and come back to it later — useful for appointments, lectures, and conversations you'll want to remember. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN Use it with AirPods, wired earbuds, or any Bluetooth or wired headphones. No special hardware required. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your hearing is personal. Everything is processed entirely on your device — no account and no internet required. Audio is never recorded or uploaded, and any transcript you save stays on your iPhone. MADE FOR YOU Built for people who are hard of hearing or deaf, anyone who needs a little extra clarity, and everyone who simply wants to hear better in everyday life. FREE TO START Use the hearing-aid and Live Caption features free every day, then upgrade to Pro anytime for unlimited use. Hear better. Feel more connected. Download Clarive today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyHearingExperience at none against Listening Device's 5. MyHearingExperience also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Listening Device's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
