Sound amplifier is a sound enhancement application launched by Google. It is specially designed for Android devices. It aims to significantly enhance the audio experience through headphones, making every listening experience clear. This application not only allows users to filter, enhance and amplify the surroundingThe environment and internal sound of the device also have intelligent adjustment functions, which can automatically increase the volume of key sounds, such as conversations, while cleverly suppressing background noise to ensure that the user's attention is always focused on important information. It is an auxiliary tool for the hearing impaired.

    For the longest time I couldn't figure out why videos (from any source) would play at 2 different amp levels after you paused them (no headphones involved). Was extremely jarring and annoying. Finally figured out it was this stupid app that was responsible. Disabled.

    It works - except that it produced a very high pitched and very loud sound, somehow a feedback problem, but there could be something more. The sound is so extremely loud and high that it is directly harmful too the ear. And it is so high that it may be outside of the useful audio frequencies. It needs to be filtered out. The feedback problem is unavoidable, of course. But this is not just a tone that cold be a real noise. I used a simple headset of the type earbuds with small device in the cable, which contains a button and a tiny microphone hole. It gave me tinnitus after about a minute.

    Great idea, but it destroys the audio, the fine tuning doesn't seem to actually fine tune, but vary from standard destruction of audio to a weird distortion effect on the low end. Having a system-wide equalizer was a much better option than this, which must be open to work. I don't understand why this was released, for those hearing impairments that require higher volume, this will only work if you can still manage to understand the lowest quality audio possible, not the case with my friends

    Its alright I guess. I will say I'm a bit disappointed with the overall sound quality thats similar to the quality of call audio (very bit-compressed) and the fact that you cant use the microphones on other Bluetooth headphones is a confusing design choice. Basically the app will only use the microphone on the bottom of my phone. The "settings" button on the top right has no actual settings to set. Also the delay is pretty annoying when speaking and some features are locked to only the pixel 3.

    Samsung Note 9: This is the best audio aid app that I have found thus far. I am definitely keeping it. BUT it should have loaded like a normal app and appeared on my app pages. It did not, instead requiring me to hunt around the web for instructions. Also, the accessibility icon (when you finally get the app to work) gets in the way of other items on my home screen. Also, the user interface is not as described in Google Play. All in all - a very nice app that just needs a bit more polish. Thanks Google Labs

    I was really looking forwar to using this, but after installing it, discovered that ot only works with wired headphones. i may have missed that in the fine print, but its 2019, and most smart phones these days are being made without headphone jacks. this would probably be a great app and great technology , if it would keep up with the times, and be compatible with Bluetooth headphones. nobody wants to be tethered to their phones anymore. Thank you for the response google. Review updated

    I was getting very frustrated/I looked through half-a-dozen apps/I needed a simple 1 to use as a public speaker-when I have problems with vocal clarity/If u r a speaker and you're looking for a device that will simply amplify ur voice thru a Bluetooth device/Look no further this is it!/ don't give this kind of recommendation unless I'm sure/But if u r a speaker wanting 2 amplify ur voice thru BlueTooth this is straightforward & works great/Easy 2 control background noise & finetune sound also.

    I just used it as a hearing aid on this phone and earbuds. Once I played with the adjustments a little, I was finally able to understand voices from about 7' away. My left ear has lost its high-frequency response, so it cannot hear cymbals. The same is true with the consonants such the letter C , which makes it difficult to understand speech. Although my right ear is not as bad, this app is a keeper until I need expensive DSP hearing aids.
