TLDR: Singular Hearing has launched a new Equalization (EQ) feature for its award-winning HeardThat app, allowing users to customize audio frequencies for clearer speech in noisy environments. The AI-powered app transforms smartphones into hearing-assistive devices, offering a more accessible alternative to traditional hearing solutions.
VANCOUVER, BC – Singular Hearing, the innovator behind the acclaimed HeardThat app, announced today the release of its new Equalization (EQ) feature. This significant advancement empowers users with unprecedented personalized control over their listening experience, particularly for understanding speech in challenging acoustic settings such as bustling restaurants and social gatherings. The EQ feature enables individuals to precisely fine-tune audio frequencies to align with their unique hearing needs, promising even clearer conversations.
HeardThat leverages artificial intelligence to distinguish and separate speech from background noise, effectively transforming standard smartphones into sophisticated hearing-assistive devices. The newly introduced EQ feature builds upon this core functionality by allowing users to adjust audio across 10 frequency bands, mirroring the frequencies utilized in professional audiograms, with precise gains of up to ±12dB per band.
Bruce Sharpe, Founder and CEO of Singular Hearing, emphasized the personal nature of hearing, stating, “Hearing is deeply personal, and what sounds clear to one person may not work for another. Our new EQ feature recognizes this reality by putting control directly in users’ hands. They can now customize their listening experience in real-time, experimenting until they find the perfect sound profile for their unique hearing needs.” This direct control allows for a highly individualized approach to hearing assistance.

This innovation marks a revolutionary step in accessibility. Unlike conventional hearing solutions that often necessitate expensive, specialized equipment, HeardThat operates seamlessly with devices people already possess – their smartphones and Bluetooth earbuds or hearing aids. Since its launch, the app has facilitated over one million listening sessions, underscoring the widespread demand for readily available hearing assistance. The EQ feature specifically addresses a critical gap in current hearing assistance technology, providing advanced equalization capabilities that are typically found in professional hearing aids, but now accessible to a broader audience who may not use traditional hearing aids but struggle with speech-in-noise.
