Hear Boost: Recording Ear Aid

I was classically trained on piano and string bass and taught myself other instruments. I’ve continued to play and compose as a hobby all my life. I recently have experienced hearing loss due to Meniere’s that makes it difficult to hear pitch when playing. I tried Listen mode with AirPods but the delay is too long. I downloaded the app and purchased the equalizer hoping there would be no delay. It’s much less but still too much for playing and singing while composing. This app with wired headphones works for conversation since the delay is tolerable. AirPods don’t due to the delay. The delay is tolerable when listening but I have to take the AirPods off whenever I talk, then put them back on to listen. I guess that’s why it’s called Listen mode! That’s OK for certain meetings, or a lecture, or maybe a concert - but not conversation where you are talking. Of course you have to use wired earbuds or headphones.

This app may work for some people but it’s not working for me #1 no option to switch from headset microphone to phones microphone. #2 when you start the listening feature whatever you do don’t turn it off because it locks you out from using for 5 min witch is an ad for upgrading witch I already have done and waisted my money on. And caused me to lose lots of listening info when recording. Seems that the developer will give a response fast but nothing on my end is set wrong. I understand if there is no microphone option to switch to phones mic. Wish it had that option. As goes for the 5 min upgrade lockout I would have thought it would have gone away after I purchased the upgrades but it did not.

Not to get into too muxh detail but I faced a technical Difficulty with part of the paid version of the app. When I encountered this difficulty I emailed them to see what could be done about it. Their responses were prompt, courteous and got the situation solved fantastically. It’s a hold app especially for someone like me, a musician that’s slowly integrating into production which the EQ balance although very simple has been fantastic for introduction and getting My feet wet. As the title states although the app is very useful I don’t ever rate apps let alone write a what I consider lengthy review but after the fantastic support shown this is the least I can do. Highly recommend this app

it's a great app, it's better than your spy, and your spy was a super listener let me tell you, but this app is even better, but you're probably wondering, I get to the point, why did you read it three stars and why did you say great but? I said this because, I do not want to have to use the microphone on my Bluetooth headset, it is not very good, I would like an option to use the microphone on my phone even though I have a Bluetooth headset connected, I can do that with your spy, also, I do not like that you have to wait before you can listen again, or Pay the price for an upgrade.

I wear hearing aids a well, but one broke, and I was hoping maybe an app could compensate. But the sound is delayed. That basically makes it impossible for me to use as a hearing aid. Not even convinced to purchase the other features as they just seem to be for fun. I still gave 3 stars because maybe it’s a good app for other purposes like secretly recording conversations in another room, but that’s not what I was after. I need real time sound. I’m just purchasing some cheap hearing aids until I can afford to get my digital one repaired.
