well, technically i dont use hearing aids, but really theyre discreet bluetooth earphones that connect to my phone and ive set it so when they connect, the android Sound Amplifier app starts, and amplifies speech but not background noise. its a little awkward but it helps :3
Does this amplify the things spoken to you or just audio you are listening to? I have a broader sensory processing disorder, and I've really become picky about the types of situations I'll go into because it takes such a huge toll. I think it would probably be easier to live with if I didn't have to concentrate so hard on separating conversations from ambient noise
Yes! Thank you! Separating conversation from ambient noise. That's a part I struggle with.
And my wife wonders why I can never hear her over the air conditioner/sink/etc.
it uses my phone microphone, and amplifies speech from what it ggets there, then sends it to the earphones. it kinda took a lot of fiddling with settings to get it to be able to generally pick out speech, and i have to hold my phone mic up to my friends like an interviewer if its very noisy, but my parents wont get me checked for it and hearing aids are expensive lol
which headphones do you use?
Ditto, I would like to know more.
theyre just some lenovo ones that clip around the back of my ear, got em for a fiver on aliexpress lol, not the highest quality but they have a low delay mode which is good for this
How do I set this up? I need it for work, although I might need to (possibly literally) fight my co-workers over it.
my phones a samsung, in the quick settings i can add a Sound Amplifier toggle, then i just messed with the settings til i could hear people better
edit to clarify, google pixel phones should have it too, idk about other androids
I have a Samsung, but it is a tablet. So oof. Thanks though!
