A new application (released June 11, 2009) for the Apple iPhone has been designed to aid people with poor hearing, featuring abilities that not even a hearing aid can boast of. Essentially a volume booster, the app amplifies everything that is being heard by the microphone and allows the user to set which frequencies to boost and which to filter.
The most interesting feature of the application is that it continuously keeps a recorded buffer of what it hears, allowing you to quickly replay the last five to thirty seconds of a misheard conversation. So you can actually rewind whatever was just said the replay it. I can think of a lot of arguments that would have been quickly settled if I’d had this little app around.
The price is $9.99 and it currently has 16 ratings at an average rating of 3.5 stars. iTunes link.
