Description
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 recognize speech better. • Focus on a speaker’s voice in noisy environments with conversation mode.

Works great. Is 70 years old, normally not able to hear my multimeters' continuity high pitch sound. It works great with my Waze Bluetooth headphones on and the app Boost options selected, I sat my phone next to my multimeter and can hear what I was deaf to hearing. Am cured, wonderful app, thank you, Google. 😊

I'm going deaf in my left ear, this helps adjust the sounds levels in my earbuds to manipulate the volume levels separately.
