Description
The #1 fastest and simplest tool for communicating with HoH, Deaf, and ESL friends and family.
Hearing Helper is specifically designed for anyone trying to talk with HoH (Hard of Hearing), Deaf, or ESL (English as a Second Language) friends and family.
Simply push and hold the mic to translate speech-to-text with Apple's Siri technology.
Tap to quick-edit incorrect words. And make anything you say BIG!
Hearing Helper sits in the background of your conversations, so you can focus on what's being said.
Users love it:
“Just so you know, this app has changed my 86 year old mother's life. It is simple and easy for her and her friends to use. This is so important for the elderly since so many other apps are way too complicated. She can really have one on one conversations, especially with me, which is so very important.”
- Mark M
Doctors trust it:
"I use this w my HOH senior patients when the hearing aides aren't even enough to compensate for the hearing loss. This works great. I have recommended it to my nursing/CNA staff to use as well.”
- Istariken
Hearing Helper is also really helpful for communicating with family and friends who aren't as comfortable speaking English but can read it well.
Features

I designed this app to help my family talk with my 100-year-old grandfather who's hard of hearing, and now even his roommate uses it to communicate with him!
If you find this app, I hope it helps you better communicate with your loved ones.

Ratings and Reviews
Great for my old mum
Mum mother is profoundly deaf and this works well. It struggles with some words but in a noisy cafe it was running at 85-90% which is pretty good. I’d second the button pushing issue. If you would like beta testing I’d be happy to do so.
Great app for those with trouble hearing.
This app works really well when I talk to my deaf nan. It’s really simple to use and I haven’t had an issue with the app miss-hearing my speech so far. Love the flip option, this is often missed on other apps.
My only criticism is that I don’t like the haptic feedback every time I press the button. An option to turn it off for this app would be great.
Why oh why?
Have bought this twice now. And realised why I never used the first time.
Having to press and hold button to record text is in convenient and ridiculous. Why make your customers jump through this hoop?
Many people have complained about this as a major factor in what could be a brilliant solution making it almost pointless.
If you in your developers mind beleive there is a good reason for this, at least listen to your customers and give them the option to have an “always listening on” option. It is such a simple thing, so obvious and yet you insist on forcing people to what you think is best for them despite a clear desire for something more usable. Refund please, unless you make the very simple change i settings.
