HearingAmp Lite is a fully functional 15-day free version of HearingAmp. HearingAmp allows you to amplify and filter the sounds in your environment. It uses the microphone in your phone to tune the sound in real-time, producing a cleaner, crisper sound through your earphones. You can reduce background noise and amplify different frequency bands, allowing you to tune sound performance to your current surroundings. A number of preset frequency profiles are provided as templates. Users can create and modify profiles for use in various locations such as airplanes, classrooms, or crowded areas. HearingAmp uses a state of the art signal processing engine to tailor and enhance incoming sound. It provides effective noise reduction and voice amplification in any environment. If you use a Bluetooth headset, the headset quality will affect the performance of HearingAmp. In addition, its intrinsic A2DP protocol will increase the latency in real-time communication.

Giant Ear amplifies your hearing by increasing the volume of any sound heard by your iPhone. You can use Giant Ear as an hearing aid anywhere by plugging in your headphones. It is simple as 2 screens , first screen includes an equalizer for main human voice frequencies and an advanced tone setting. Tone setting changes the pitch of the sound as low or high since some people hear better with different frequencies. With work in background feature it can work in background when your phone is locked. There may be latency with airPods and when tone setting is not in the middle, we recommend wired headphones for the best performance. Second screen is for recording. You can record any sound and share using common applications. Free version runs with time limits and ads. You can remove those limits and ads by in-app purchases. There is NO SUBSCRIPTION, which will renew again. Payment is just for ONCE and for the LIFE-TIME. Enjoy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HearingAmp Lite at none against Giant Ear's 2. HearingAmp Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (40% vs 25%). Giant Ear's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 25 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Giant Ear sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. HearingAmp Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
Giant Ear holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Giant Ear has 148 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of HearingAmp Lite's written reviews are positive against 25% of Giant Ear's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HearingAmp Lite ships an update every 25 months, Giant Ear every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
