Make room for implant sound—without leaving natural hearing behind. HearLift is listening practice for people with single-sided deafness who have a cochlear implant in their deaf ear and natural hearing in the other. Help your brain practice combining both inputs. Lower-volume natural hearing support offers a middle ground between relying mainly on natural hearing and listening through your implant alone. Keep that support steady or let HearLift vary it automatically. EXPLORE SIMULATED IMPLANT MODE Family, friends, and audiologists with natural hearing in both ears can try Simulated implant mode to evaluate HearLift for someone who may benefit. Hear simulated implant sound alongside natural sound, and explore different ways of combining them. Simulation is an illustrative demo, not an exact recreation of anyone’s implant hearing or a practice mode for implant users. HEAR HOW IT WORKS Start with an included listening sample after setup—no title download or narrator choice needed. Explore the listening patterns before choosing your own content. BOOKS AND MUSIC, ONE LISTEN AT A TIME Explore classic stories and novels while practicing with your implant and natural hearing. Read along when a book includes text, or simply listen. If something isn’t clear, go back and hear it again. HearLift saves your place in books and albums, with chapter or track navigation, background listening, and lock-screen playback controls. iOS chooses which controls appear on the lock screen. MAKE THE PRACTICE YOUR OWN • Find a comfortable personal starting point with guided listening setup. • Keep natural hearing support steady, vary it with a regular rhythm or random timing, or let it fade as passages begin. • Try Alternating ears, where one ear’s volume rises as the other’s falls. • Adjust support while you listen, and change reading speed for books with text. CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR • Download pre-recorded books with text and selected synthetic narrators, then listen offline. • Discover free books through Project Gutenberg and Wikisource. • Bring your own EPUB or text files and hear them read aloud. • On iPhone and iPad, choose music you own (non-DRM’d) saved on your device after personal setup. Keep albums together and resume the same track and position. • Browse volunteer-read LibriVox recordings to stream or download, without an account or personal server. These audio-only books have no read-along text. • Stream or download from Plex or Audiobookshelf, or download from Subsonic-compatible servers, including Ampache. Music and audio-only recordings play at their original speed. Stereo tracks are mixed to mono, then your listening pattern and natural hearing support are applied to the same music in both earcups. Original Music files stay unchanged. Music and audio-only books require personal setup and are unavailable in Simulated implant mode, whether streamed or downloaded. Choose included HearLift voices on supported devices or available built-in Apple voices. Optional Microsoft Azure voices require separate setup and internet access; service charges may apply. YOUR LISTENING SETUP For implant practice, over-ear headphones deliver the same audio to your natural ear and your implant processor’s microphone. HearLift adjusts each side separately. Another setup must deliver the same audio to both ears with clear left/right separation. No HearLift account is required. Book availability and permissions vary by source and country. HearLift is a listening-practice aid, not a substitute for professional care. Results vary and aren’t guaranteed. Consult your audiologist for guidance on practice with your cochlear implant.
