Hear from your deaf side — without surgery Head Shadow AI is a hearing aid iPhone app that works like a CROS hearing aid for people with single-sided deafness (SSD). The app works best for people with SSD when used with a wired USB microphone and the iPhone speaker. Place the mic on your deaf side, about an arm’s length away from your mouth, and keep it out of direct line with the iPhone. The app captures sound with the mic, enhances it with digital signal processing, and plays it through the iPhone speaker placed close to you. This makes Head Shadow AI a non-surgical solution for people with SSD. No own voice. No delay. Placing the mic an arm’s length away from your mouth means there is no own voice. Since the audio is carried on a wire from the mic to the iPhone speaker, there is no delay. More comfortable listening Head Shadow AI can also be used with a wired USB microphone and AirPods Pro or compatible wireless earphones. The mic captures sound from your deaf side, while AirPods Pro or compatible earphones play the enhanced sound to your hearing ear. With the mic positioned away from your mouth, there is no own voice. Wireless earphones provide a more comfortable listening experience. Because wireless audio is used for playback, a small delay is present. This is the trade-off for the added comfort of using earphones. Built-in AI Head Shadow AI includes built-in AI that helps you understand how the app works and how its controls affect what you hear. A dedicated AI screen provides guided sections such as “How AI helps you” and “Using the app,” together with quick access to FAQs. Browse topics, view common questions, or search for specific help. AI guidance explains the Home screen, audio controls, and how digital signal processing affects what you hear. Most icons in the app are universally recognized. Where an icon needs explanation, an AI icon beside it provides quick access to help. Help available offline The app includes its help content for offline access, so you can use it even without an Internet connection.
