Having a hard time hearing - there's an app for that
SoundAmp is an app created by Ginger Labs for the iPhone/iPod Touch. The application turns your iPhone/iPod Touch into an interactive hearing device. Below is some information from their website:
soundAMP's advanced sound processor softens loud sounds and amplifies soft sounds to maximize hearing comfort. soundAMP's processor is combined with audio filters designed to help with speech intelligibility, bringing the important sounds around you vividly into your life.
With soundAMP, you get sonic clarity at all volume levels, with limited distortion. The app allows you to adjust the tone and to improve the clarity of consonants. It even reduces the ambient and microphone
What a great idea for an iPhone application. I wonder if this would work in a classroom for students who are hard of hearing? Instead of installing sound-field amplification systems you could supply the students with an iPod Touch with the SoundAmp application installed.
