The app can amplify sounds in your surrounding by up to 500%*. The microphone of your headphones is used to amplify all voices and sounds. Actual amplification can be easily adjusted within the app. Every word that is spoken is also transcribed in real-time, so that you can also read along with the conversation. DISCRETE Since you are using your headphones, other people may not notice that you are using a hearing aid. TRANSCRIPT Read along with the conversation and see what people speak. FREE TRIAL You can test the app for free, before subscribing to a paid plan. PRIVACY To protect your privacy, nothing that is picked up by the microphone is ever stored. No conversations, no sounds. The signal is just kept in a buffer and gets amplified in the moment. Live transcription happens on the device and hence is only available on supported devices. *Check with a medical professional before amplifying to extreme levels, to avoid further damages to your hearing. Payment and subscriptions After the trial period, payment will be charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. If you do not turn off auto-renew, your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period.
