Description
Your hearing enhancement. On every headphone.
Hear Me Well is a tool that turns your iPhone in a very simple and easy to use hearing aid.
Just put your iPhone or iPad between yourself and your interlocutor, connect your headphones and adjust the volume and, if needed, the noise reduction filter.
But technically, how does it work? It works by processing and amplifying the sound picked up by the iPhone's microphone. It's perfectly compatible with any model of wired and wireless headphones, including the Apple AirPods.
This app could be very useful in noisy environments such as bars and restaurants. Thanks to the specially designed noise reduction filter, any background noise can be reduced significantly.
Hear Me Well works perfectly with the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch can be used to adjust remotely the volume, the balance and the noise reduction filter.
This app is available for now in English, Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
What’s New
Version 1.8.4
Thanks to the precious feedback we receive every day from our lovely users we have been able to improve some aspects of the user experience. The audio delay on bluetooth headphones has been reduced further, resulting in a less distracting and "echoey" quality of sound. Like always, you can use any headphone you like! We would like to remind that it is absolutely normal to experience a little delay while using wireless headphones as this is due to the hardware limitations. Nonetheless, we try our best to reduce the delay as much as we can. Another point we would like to remind is that Hear Me Well is not intended to amplify the sound of phone calls or your television. You can still perform these tasks, but by placing your iPhone next to the sound source.
In this version we have introduced a new skill, the app will stop its engine if the main switch is off while enter in background mode.
Ratings and Reviews
Super effective
I’ve got (audiologist-measured) 80% loss in the right and 40% degradation in the left, and basically I will try anything that says it will “help” my hearing.
At first, I was confused by the simplicity of the interface. What was it meant to do? Was it doing anything? Oh, ok, turn it up a bit with *that* slider, and there it is - noticeable amplification of the primary noise (a human), and no amp on background noise. It appears, this app simply just works. Full score.
However, like a previous reviewer, lacking the ability to tell the app that you are unable to hear a frequency during the calibration test reduces its accuracy. A second point on the calibration would be to allow a pause between tones. Press “start”, have the first tone run until “I can hear it”, then pause until “Start” is pressed again. I found the calibration inaccurate because I wasn’t able to press the “I can hear it” button fast enough as is, with one tone running into the next.
As a fun aside, it’s a giggle placing your phone on your belly while your tummy rumbles; and I can guarantee my iPhone’s microphone is sensitive - amplifying my heartbeat nicely into my headphones. So the app is fun, as well as useful.
It may work for some people
It seems to give you only the one option of “I can hear it” if you can’t well to bad just have to pretend you can even if you can’t just to progress through the setup
