Dallas, Texas – Bxtel LLC, a mobile applications company focused on healthcare, today is proud to announce the release of Enhanced Ears, its new app that enables an Apple iPhone to function like a hearing aid. More than 36 million Americans incur hearing loss, which can significantly impact quality of life. However, many resist seeking help or wearing hearing aids because of significant cost, potential discomfort and embarrassment.
The Enhanced Ears iPhone app can be an affordable, discreet and effective alternative to hearing aids for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. The app helps users hear better in everyday situations such as watching TV or talking with friends.
“With so many millions of Americans struggling with hearing loss, including young adults, we wanted to provide a low cost, effective alternative to hearing aids to help those with mild to moderate hearing loss,” said Ben Tyler, Bxtel founder.
How Does Enhanced Ears Work? Enhanced Ears is used with earbuds or headphones and uses the iPhone’s microphone:
1. The app guides the user through a hearing test
2. The app uses the hearing test results to automatically calibrate its hearing aid functionality
3. Once calibrated, users simply tap the “On” switch
4. Users point their device’s microphone in the direction of the sound they want to hear
