Top apps for people with hearing loss
Published: 8/24/2023 2:47:52 AM
It seems that smartphones and tablets can help us with anything these days, and your hearing is certainly no exception.
If anything, the range of apps is so large it can be hard to make a decision on which to go for. To help choose the best apps for you, we’ve listed some of our favourites.
AUD-1
The AUD-1 app turns your smartphone into a hearing aid, when paired with a normal set of headphones. It amplifies sounds around you, playing them through your headphones, and offers sophisticated "sound shaping", tuning the software to your specific needs. Users can switch between a range of settings, making adjustments for each ear. It’s well worth spending some time playing around with AUD-1 to reap the benefits of this more complex software.
AUD-1 is available on iOS at $10.99
ReSound Relief
Are you ears buzzing? ReSound Relief offers a combination of sound therapy and relaxation exercises to distract you from your tinnitus. You can create your own soundscapes by combining sounds, set a colour mood, adjust sound to each ear and enjoy relaxing exercises like bubble-popping.
