About this app

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. (Available for Pixel 3 and above.)
• Listen to conversations, TV, or lectures. For audio sources that are farther away, Bluetooth headphones are recommended. (Bluetooth headphones might have delayed sound transmission.)
• Personalize your listening experience for surrounding conversation or media playing on your device. You can reduce noise or boost low frequency, high frequency, or quiet sounds. Set your preferences for both ears or separately for each ear.
• Turn Sound Amplifier on and off using the accessibility button, a gesture, or Quick Settings. Learn more about the accessibility button, gesture and Quick Settings: https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/7650693

if I had known when I picked this phone that one of the upgrades was going to have this sound amplifier that very inconieniently turns my volume down every 10 minutes and there's nothing I can do about it. it's very very frustrating and now when composing messages, my view of the screen doesn't go as low as where I'm typing, so I can't see where or what it is that I'm typing I can't figure out any way to this issue I would have gotten a different phone. very disappointing.

Wow. Can't believe this isn't advertised at all. There's way more to this than meets the eye. Highly recommend. Wish there was a way to have the app more presentable in the apps menu. Seem to only be able to find it using accessibility menus. Or you can go through the play store to see that it's installed and then activate it. Not that user friendly trying to get to it, but once you've got it going.... wow.

Worse than nothing. Even at maximum volume, the mic phone audio is almost silent on my Bluetooth earbuds, and there is a definite delay. I hear the external audio with my ear, then a very faint copy after. I can definitely hear better without an ear bud in my ear, let alone with one repeating poorly out of sync. It appears they have been "working" on these issues since 2019, so I have little hope in this ever working.
