- Works with any headphones
- iPhone & Android
Setting it up for someone else
A common reason people install this: a parent
Install it on their phone
Takes about a minute on their iPhone or Android — or hand them yours first so they can see exactly what it does before committing to installing anything themselves.
Show them the one button
There's no menu to learn and no settings screen to get lost in. Point the phone, tap the one button, and speech gets louder and clearer immediately.
Share your subscription
One Premium plan can cover up to 4 devices through a QR code, so you're not paying separately for each person who wants it set up on their own phone.
They keep their own headphones
No new hardware to buy, charge, or figure out how to pair — whatever pair they already own and are used to wearing works exactly the same way here.
Where it helps most
The moments families actually notice
Family dinnersThe conversation at the far end of the table stops disappearing into clattering plates and everyone talking at once — point the phone toward whoever's speaking and follow along without asking them to repeat it.
Watching TV togetherEveryone keeps their own comfortable volume in their own headphones, instead of one person turning the TV up until it's uncomfortable for everyone else in the room.
Phone and video callsPoint the phone at the speaker during a call and follow along more easily, especially useful when a connection is a little unclear or someone speaks quietly.
Doctor's appointmentsCatch what's said the first time, without leaning in or asking for it to be repeated in a small exam room where a quiet voice is easy to lose.
What it does
Makes speech clearer, not just louder
Share with family
One subscription, up to 4 devices — set it up for a parent or partner without paying twice, and without them needing an account or subscription of their own.
Voice focus
Pulls speech out of background noise instead of just raising the overall volume, which is usually the first thing people try and why it doesn't help as much as expected.
Simple equalizer
Adjust bass, clarity and treble — helpful since hearing changes are rarely the same for everyone in a household, and one default setting won't suit two different people equally.
Sudden-noise guard
Caps unexpected loud sounds automatically, so amplified audio never turns startling — useful for anyone who finds sudden noise uncomfortable rather than just inconvenient.
Live, with no lag
Processed in real time on the device, so speech stays in sync with what they're watching or whoever is sitting across from them, rather than trailing a beat behind.
Works without internet
Amplification runs on the phone itself — handy if a parent's home wifi is unreliable, or if they're somewhere without a signal at all when it matters most.
Is it time to try this?
Signs it might be worth setting up for someone
They ask "what?" more than once in a normal conversation, especially with background noise like a TV or other people talking nearby.
The TV volume they're comfortable with is noticeably louder than what everyone else in the room finds comfortable.
They've started avoiding restaurants, group dinners, or gatherings specifically because following the conversation has gotten tiring.
They're not ready for — or haven't decided on — a full hearing aid, but the day-to-day moments are still adding up.
How it works
Ready in about a minute
Plug in headphones
Wired or wireless, any pair already lying around the house — there's nothing extra to buy or charge before starting. Wired keeps the sound tightest and fastest if timing matters.
Aim the phone at the voice
Across the dinner table, from the armchair, or toward the TV — the microphone does the rest and picks up whatever direction the phone is facing.
Nudge the level up
Two buttons, plus and minus, right on the main screen. Once it's comfortable, just leave it running — there's nothing else to configure to keep using it.
For whoever sets it up
Handing it over without it feeling complicated
- Install it on their phone first, or let them try it on yours before committing to installing anything.
- Show them the one thing that matters: point the phone toward whoever is talking.
- Leave the level exactly where it was comfortable during the demo — resist explaining every setting at once.
A short reference for what to set, and where
| Situation | What to set | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Family dinners | Voice Focus on, medium boost | Cuts through cross-talk and clattering dishes |
| Watching TV | Their own comfortable level in headphones | No more asking to turn up the TV for everyone |
| Doctor's visits | Point the phone at whoever's speaking | Small rooms make a quiet voice easy to lose |
| Phone or video calls | Slightly higher boost | Compressed call audio has already lost some clarity |
Set it up on your own phone first so you can show them exactly what to expect. Most people who are hesitant about a new app relax the moment they hear it work on a real conversation, rather than just having it explained to them.
Background chatter and clattering dishes in a typical restaurant can sit close enough in volume to a speaking voice that raising the overall volume stops helping.
Signs the settings you chose are working
- They stop leaning forward or turning an ear toward the speaker.
- They stop asking "what?" mid-conversation.
- They keep the phone facing the room instead of putting it away.
- They ask to use it again without being reminded.
- They start nudging the level themselves instead of asking you to do it.
Worth knowing
This is an amplifier, not a hearing aid
It's a general-purpose sound amplifier built for everyday situations — not a substitute for a hearing aid, and not a regulated medical device. It doesn't diagnose or treat hearing loss, and it isn't a replacement for a professional hearing evaluation. If hearing has become a persistent, daily problem rather than something specific to a handful of situations, the right next step is a licensed hearing care professional; this app is for the in-between moments — a loud restaurant, a quiet talker, a TV across the room — not for ongoing, diagnosed hearing loss.

Questions people ask before installing it for someone
Can I set this up on my parent's phone for them?
Yes — install it directly on their iPhone or Android, or set it up on yours first so they can see how it works before trying it themselves.
Do they need to buy special headphones?
No. Any wired or wireless headphones they already own will work — including a pair of basic wired earbuds, which usually give the clearest, lowest-delay result.
Is this the same as a hearing aid?
No. It's a general-purpose sound amplifier, not a hearing aid and not a regulated medical device. For ongoing, diagnosed hearing loss, a licensed hearing care professional is the right next step.
Can more than one person use the same subscription?
Yes. One Premium plan can cover up to 4 devices — useful for setting it up for more than one family member without paying separately for each.
Does it work without headphones?
No — headphones are required, otherwise the amplified sound would loop back into the microphone. Any pair works, wired or Bluetooth.
Will it work if their Wi-Fi is unreliable?
Yes. Amplification runs entirely on the phone — no internet connection is needed once the app is installed.
How much does it cost?
Free to download, with a limited daily listening session and no account required. An optional subscription unlocks unlimited listening; the price is shown in the app and store before anyone confirms anything.
Is anything recorded or sent anywhere?
No. Audio passes through the app in real time and is never recorded, stored, or uploaded.
What if they're not very comfortable with apps?
There's one main button — point the phone, tap it, adjust the level with plus and minus. No menus to learn to get started.
