Apps That Boost Speech: Live Listen, Sound Amplifier, and Chatable

By Mark Truong

In today's video, I compare the features and functions of the Top 3 hearing amplification apps, to help you determine which option may be right for you. First, I review Apple's Live Listen, a great app for existing iPhone and Airpods users—especially in quiet environments. Next, I review Google's Sound Amplifier app, a free tool for Android users that works with wired headphones and has built in noise reduction. And last, I review Chatable, available on both iPhone and Android (Airpods or wired headphones) which offers great noise reduction, but requires a monthly subscription to unlock all features.
