HearYouNow app review: enhance your hearing capabilities with this personal sound amplifier

Reviews

Introduction

With its simplistic interface and array of customization options, this auditory enhancement app for iPhone and iPad should provide you with everything you need to test the waters, so to speak, before making the jump over to using a full-blown hearing aid.

Despite experiencing a couple of crashes while reviewing this app, it definitely appears to be quite well developed overall.

I’ve reviewed a couple of apps similar to this in the past, and they usually offer the bare minimum amount of functionality in order to plug in-app purchases. I don’t have a particular issue with this, but it is nice to see the developer of HearYouNow offering a fully-featured app free of charge.

Sounds Good!

The best way for me to sum up the intentions of the developer with HearYouNow - Your personal sound amplifier is to include a note from the iTunes description page, which reads as follows:

“ExSilent is a Dutch manufacturer of hearing aids, operating worldwide. The company’s goal is to lower the barrier for people who could use a hearing aid because of hearing loss, but who are not ready for one yet.

This is a fantastic idea in my opinion, serving as both a marketing tool for the manufacturer, and a way for people to make that gradual transition over to using a hearing aid if they don’t feel quite ready to make the complete jump just yet.

Adjust Individual Sound Frequencies

This app enables you to adjust the Low, Mid, and High frequencies, as well as setting the Focus to Near or Far depending on the extent of your hearing difficulties. You can also set it to cater for both ears, or just your left or right ear as you see fit.

This app is designed to serve as a soft introduction to using a hearing aid, so if you think you might be ready to make the full transition then be sure to tap the More button at the bottom of the screen. From here you’ll be able to learn more about ExSilent and the products that they offer.
