Track, adapt & empower your hearing today with 90+ gamified activities from vowels, consonants and narratives with content developed in collaborations with clinicians.
Empower your hearing today!
Hearoes is an interactive auditory training platform for those with Cochlear Implants, Hearing aids and hearing loss to help familiarise different environmental sounds, and vocabulary (such as Ling's Sounds, Vowels and Consonants) to improve auditory feedback with a clear understanding of how progress is being made.
We've collaborated with different audiologist and speech pathologist at hospitals to help bring engaging interactive auditory training different stages of their hearing journey to help hear new sounds and confidence today.
It combines proven assessments used in rehabilitation sessions and on-going training with gamified activities and interactions to create an aesthetically engaging and user-centric experience for recipients. Hearoes helps this critical stage of on-going training become less of a chore for those with hearing aids, cochlear implants, and hearing loss.
It features dynamic pathways covering 5 key proven modules and 30+ fun activities focused on learning a specific part in the hearing journey of new sounds.
Some of the key modules featured in Hearoes are:
- Environmental Sounds: Combination of daily sounds, such as in the kitchen, rural and farm, and music. Immerse yourself in different environments and hear the sounds around the theme.
- Introduction to Words: Featuring Ling's Sounds, High/Low Pitches and a wide range of different Syllables
- Singleton Vowels: Featuring a range of activities and difficulties around vowel sounds.
- Common Consonant Confusions: Helping to be familiar with common consonant sounds in initial, final and mix position.
- Understanding Sentences: Progressive narratives in common day scenes. Ranging from video clips (for visual cues like lip-reading) to audio with background noise to help learn in a comfortable notion.
We also have a feedback option built-in and would love to hear your thoughts, so we can continue to build a great product to help those with hearing loss feel comfortable in different environments.
I don’t know if this existed four years ago when I got implanted the first time, but I just got my second implant and I have been rehabbing that ear. I have an inherited congenital hearing disability nonsyndromic, so my journey has been very long, through growing up in an oralist environment with hearing aids to learning ASL and finally first getting implanted when I was 36.I’m not sure what I was trying to say, but it’s not worth re-typing all this. Anyway, good app. Enjoyed the gamification. I don’t understand the chart at the end of each activity. Why does it show a history of scoring 0 if I just started using the app? How does it explain whether I’m making progress or not? Does it work by week or by day? Can it be made configurable?
Very Disappointed. Not for Americans.

The concept is good, but the execution leaves something to be desired. The speakers have British accents. My husband recently had a cochlear implant, and I downloaded this app in order to mirror it on our television for better sound quality. Even with the enhanced sound quality, he and I both have some difficulty understanding (I have no hearing loss) some words. It would seem that in order to help someone with a new cochlear implant, speaking a bit more slowly and distinctly would be helpful. Some consonants seem to be swallowed, so he cannot hear the difference between the words. The speech is rapid and clipped. I know that in ordinary conversation, people don’t speak slowly and distinctly, but as an exercise for someone trying to learn to understand speech with a cochlear implant, one would expect the early exercises to be pronounced with more distinct enunciation, then working up to speaking more rapidly in later exercises. Combine that with the differences in inflection between American and British speech and it’s a set-up for failure if you’re American. My husband was discouraged after the first few rounds of exercises. What an individual needs at the early stages of trying to hear with a cochlear implant is a feeling of some success, not failure.
Great Rehabbing

I downloaded several apps to help my rehabilitation after getting implanted. Hearoes is my favorite. A different app had uncommon sounds, and the words sounded wrong. I couldn't play them more than twice to hear the difference. This app lets me repeat the sounds as many times as needed after I get something wrong so I can better train my brain to recognize it. The sounds are common, and I can do scenarios that mimic real-world listening. The games also help make it fun!
No pressure aural rehab

I just downloaded this today a few days after I received my processor for my new cochlear implant and this was just the encouragement that I needed. It is helping me see that though I have so much work left to do, that I am already starting to hear SOME distinction that I wasn’t convinced I was hearing. It is still just a bunch of beeps that I am hearing but somehow I am still scoring a little better than I would with random selection. I needed this boost of confidence
Thanks to everyone's feedback, the app is now further improved for version 1.3.218. What's New:
- Implemented 4 stages into the activity "When Shall We Meet?" for Male and Female speakers.
- Implemented 4 stages into the activities "Today I..." and "Today I...2" for male and female speakers.
- Fixed a bug with a button in "Phonetic Connect" activity affecting some users.
- Further optimisations, internal tweaks & polished some rough edges to improve the app experience overall.
Version 1.3.218
