Let’s Turn the iPhone into a Hearing Aid
My role at Ginger Labs began with being brought on to help create soundAMP. We couldn’t call soundAMP a hearing aid, but it did help people hear more clearly using the iPhone’s earbuds. It did this using the earbuds & internal mic in the iPhone, applying gain in user-definable frequencies to the environment in the earbuds similarly to how a hearing aid works. Through its life cycle, it evolved into something very different, and I was along for the ride.
