Sound Amplifier
Also known as: Google Sound Amplifier
An Android accessibility feature that uses the smartphone's microphone and headphones to amplify and filter ambient sounds in real-time, making it easier for hard of hearing users to hear conversations and environmental audio. Sound Amplifier can boost quiet sounds, reduce background noise, and fine-tune audio for each ear independently. In low-resource settings where hearing aids are expensive or unavailable, Sound Amplifier provides a basic but accessible alternative for sound enhancement.
