soundAMP™
soundAMP is the first assistive application that turns your iPhone and iPod touch into an interactive hearing device. It accepts audio input from iPhone’s built-in mic (or wired headset with mic), and provides real-time volume and tone modifications which are delivered instantly to the user’s headphones or earbuds. Simply plug-in your headset, insert your earbuds, launch soundAMP and instantly hear nearby sounds.
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 motion-related hissing sound. And feedback or howling is minimized.
soundAMP puts you back in control of your hearing. We call it an interactive hearing experience - it's easy to use and adjust to get the sound that is best for you. If you want to alter the volume, just slide the large volume button on your iPhone screen. It’s as easy as that.
soundAMP makes it easy to adjust the tone too. Just tap the "tone" button. Select the tone you’d like to be amplified.
In addition, soundAMP provides an innovative "repeat" feature. Did you miss what someone said? Would you like to hear it again? Tap the "instant repeat" button and you hear the last 5 seconds of the conversation. Would you like to hear more? Tapping the “repeat” button lets you repeat any of the last 60 seconds.
In takes just minutes to download and install soundAMP onto your iPhone or iPod touch. Launch it, adjust it, and begin hearing better.

We hope it helps you in a variety of listening situations, including classrooms and lecture halls, restaurants, coffee shops, at home talking with family and friends, among others. We've tested it in dozens of locations, but we realize hearing is personal.

When it comes to your hearing, you are the expert. Let soundAMP put you back in control of it.
Notes:
- iPod touch second generation requires a headset with mic.
- soundAMP operates independently of the other audio-based apps on iPhone, such as the phone app and the music app.
- For hearing aid users, we suggest using soundAMP when hearing aids are not available, or when a change is desired. soundAMP operates independently of hearing aids.
