Hearoes
GAMES 4 HEAROES PTY LTD
Formerly Games 4 Hearoes
Gamified listening practice for people with hearing loss, hearing aids or cochlear implants.
What Hearoes does
Hearoes offers listening games built around environmental sounds, vowels, consonants and everyday sentences. Its activities include auditory memory and speech with background noise, with progress views for daily practice. Free access is advertised, and the iOS store also lists subscription options.
How it compares
Broader sound practice than WordSuccess’s word pairs
Hearoes covers environmental sounds, phonetic awareness and sentence activities. WordSuccess focuses on distinguishing similar words, while Meludia centers on music-based listening.
Personal progress views versus Lace Pro’s provider-linked tracking
Hearoes shows activity results and daily training progress. Lace Pro also tracks progress and shares it with the hearing-care professional who sets up your access.
Self-paced practice, like i-Angel Sound
Hearoes lets you select a daily focus or follow its training pathway at your own pace. i-Angel Sound also offers self-paced listening exercises with adjustable difficulty.

App Store ratings & reviews
Praise
- Several 2020–2026 reviews enjoyed the game format for repeated listening practice; 2022–2024 comments specifically valued familiar sounds, replaying audio and varied listening situations. Self-reported rehabilitation progress is not effectiveness evidence.
Complaints
- Historical loading/no-audio reports in 2019–2021 and a July 2026 report described static, stuck screens or ear-routing trouble. Version data was not captured and old issues are not assumed to remain current.
- Some 2024–2026 iPhone reviewers found advertised free practice blocked by subscription prompts or could not complete an upgrade; an August 2026 reviewer also reported unanswered support inquiries. Their purchase/eligibility circumstances were not verified.
Mixed reports
- July 2024 and July 2026 reviewers liked aspects of the games but found progress charts or changed scoring hard to interpret, with the 2026 reviewer specifically dating the scoring change to that month.
Google Play ratings & reviews
Praise
- Across 2019–October 2026, sampled Android reviewers valued varied, repeatable listening games and independent practice; several liked the choice of voices or targeting particular sounds. Statements about implant progress are personal reports, not app-effectiveness measurements.
Complaints
- A cluster of January 2025 reviews on version 1.3.176 reported failed email confirmation or sign-in; other access/loading reports span 2019–February 2026. These are dated accounts and do not establish an app-wide present outage.
- Comments from August 2023–June 2026 objected to charges or limits after earlier free access, and some considered recurring access too expensive or repetitive. Individual historical allowances and current purchase eligibility were not verified.
- Android comments through August 2026 reported missing/unclear or mismatched audio, incorrect-looking answers, missing game objects, or activity glitches. Reports involve multiple versions and listening setups, so the cause and current status remain unverified.
- Some 2020–2026 reviewers found score history, progress percentages or interface readability unclear, including requests for more useful averages and help. Several reports concern older releases rather than the latest app.
Mixed reports
- Support experiences varied: some 2020–2025 reviewers said developers resolved access/subscription issues, while 2025–2026 reviewers reported paid access not recognized or slow/unanswered contact. A claimed personal fix is not evidence that all related bugs were fixed.
