About this app

Sound Amplifier makes everyday conversations and surrounding sounds more accessible among people who are hard of hearing, using just your Android phone and a pair of headphones. Use Sound Amplifier to filter, augment and amplify sounds around you and on your device.

Features
• Reduce unwanted noise to recognise speech better.
• Focus on a speaker’s voice in noisy environments with conversation mode. (Available for Pixel 3 and above.)
• Listen to conversations, TV or lectures. For audio sources that are farther away, Bluetooth headphones are recommended. (Bluetooth headphones might have delayed sound transmission.)
• Personalise your listening experience for surrounding conversation or media playing on your device. You can reduce noise or boost low frequency, high frequency or quiet sounds. Set your preferences for both ears or separately for each ear.
• Turn Sound Amplifier on and off using the Accessibility button, a gesture or Quick Settings. Learn more about the Accessibility button, gesture and Quick Settings: https://support.dichvucong-bvhttdl.com/accessibility/android/answer/7650693

Requirements
• Available for Android 8.1 and later.
• Pair your Android device with headphones.

Pretty Darn Good Hearing Aid. My hearing aid died. Needed an interim fix. These allow you to adjust the sound quality, level, and background noise easily. And it's FREE! Thank you Google. Be sure you have your phone volume up enough. I didn't think of that at first and so I didn't think they worked.

Sound Amplifier? It is a shame that this does anything but amplify sound for Android smartphones whether it's from phone speakers, Bluetooth headphones, etc. Not as robust as other sound "amplifiers" despite the fact that it's a free app. Google used to have a dedicated EQ system for sound, but they don't want to admit that it actually existed. Hey Google, do better.

This Sound Amplifier DOESN'T amplify or even acknowledge many sounds. Right now I have one earbud in and I can NOT hear a bird outside my window using the Sound Amplifier App The ear without an earbud can hear the bird loud and clear. This only hears certain sounds. It produces static and feedback when close to other electronics it transfers it's internal sounds as sounds in your environment. . it's not good at voices either. I'm sure there are far better free to use apps
