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.
