Final planned release of Head Shadow, the hearing aid iPhone app for single-sided deafness and mild hearing loss. Try it free. No subscription. Head Shadow is a hearing aid iPhone app for people with single-sided deafness or mild hearing loss in both ears. The app captures nearby sound with the iPhone or AirPods microphone, enhances it with a 10-band equalizer, and plays it in real time through wired headphones, AirPods, or AirPods Pro. FOR SINGLE-SIDED DEAFNESS When using AirPods, activate the microphone on your deaf side. Place that AirPod in your deaf ear and the other AirPod in your hearing ear. Head Shadow captures sound from your deaf side, enhances it, and plays it in your hearing ear, providing a CROS-like listening experience. FOR MILD HEARING LOSS If you have mild hearing loss in both ears, connect your wired or wireless headphones and play the app. Head Shadow captures sound with the iPhone microphone, enhances it, and plays it through your headphones. SOUND CONTROLS The 10-band equalizer lets you adjust the frequencies used in a standard audiogram. Reverb options let you hear how sound changes in different spaces. TRY FREE, THEN BUY ONCE Try all features free. Continue with a one-time purchase. There are no ads and no subscriptions. FINAL PLANNED FEATURE RELEASE Head Shadow was first published on the App Store in 2019. This is its final planned feature release, and the app will remain available and supported. Head Shadow AI, our next-generation app for people with single-sided deafness, is now available separately on the App Store and will receive future feature development.

I was struggling to hear customers, my wife, any body who was on my deaf side. Once you get the settings adjusted, all I can say is wow. I feel like I can actually follow conversations and interact in situations where before I just kept quiet because I couldn’t hear what was actually happening.

I've used the Head Shadow, and it’s been such a helpful tool. It’s super easy to set up, and the user-friendly design makes it simple to adjust. The sound is clear and natural, It works great with my AirPods. definitely worth trying if you need a extra hearing support.

Well put. Thanks for your positive review.

It kinda works, but the echo of your voice is quite distracting. Plus, I purchased it, and after several months of the app being rather dormant on the phone it seemed to have forgotten this and now I’d have to purchase it again to tinker with it. While it states it works with an audiogram, there’s nowhere in the software to add yours. It means well, I’m sure.

Then touch “Try or buy” and notice that you have already purchased the app. If you have changed you iPhone after you purchased the app, you might have to use App Store to check your Purchased and download the App again.Adding audiogram is done on your iPhone. If you touch the “Head Shadow FAQ” option in App’s Settings, you will find much help, including “How to add your audiogram to your iPhone”.Your comments about voice echo is correct.
