Hi guys,

i have developed an application (ngHero) on mobile, you can use your ear phone or wired headset to hear voice directly from your device mic or head phone mic. The problem i have some downloads but no one return to use it.

right now it’s available on android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngherovn15
IOS will be available very soon (in review).

Please help me to use it and give me your feedback. It is free trial now.

Every one give me feedback i will send back a redeem code(1 year free).

Can you help me? i am not sure my app can help you.

Thanks you alot.
Thank mod to approve my post.

I’ve just tried it. Latency was quite high. There was a distinct gap between me speaking into the mic and hearing my own voice. For comparison I then tried Sound Amplifier using the same buds. Latency is a lot lower. Just a slight echo effect. This is with Earfun Air Pro 4 buds with . The hearing test was interesting.

It doesn’t work with my hearing aids. Tells me to connect a device.

Thank you for your feedback, I would like to understand more your test.

  1. Can you turn on/off denoise feature, i really want to know if it helps you.
  2. Currently with single micro, we can’t remove 100% your own voice? just question: can your hearing aids do ?
  3. About latency, I think i need to improve.
  4. It doesn’t work with my hearing aids, just question: does Sound Amplifier work with your hearing aids ?

Thank you for your feedback and i would love to hear your anwsers.

Please check my PM and a 1 years key already sent.

Sound Amplifier works with my hearing aids. I think it only works with or wired.
Agree, latency needs to improve.
I don’t understand #2. Sorry. Hearing aids don’t remove our own voice. Hearing our own voice too much is one of the main problems with hearing aids.

#1 I’ll keep testing when I can. Just a note on Sound Amplifer. I was sitting in my car this morning playing with Sound Amplifier for a few minutes (I didn’t have the buds with me). I put the radio onto a detuned radio station (white noise) and I was surprised how much noise it removed, BUT months ago when I was testing it in a busy restaurant it didn’t help at all. So I’m wondering if your app removes steady noise only or more variable noise like in a restaurant. When I find myself in a noisy environment I’ll give it a test anyway.

  1. We basicly work with bluetooth or wired device. I think your hearing aids not fully support bluetooth standard, can you help me to check: Access “Settings” tab > Prefferred Mic > use smart mic and connect your hearing aids device again. Let me know if it works?

  1. Got it, hearing aids still not remove own voice. it is really hard to do.

  1. My app uses an model, so there may be a slight delay. However, the model was trained to work in very noisy environments. I tested it in restaurants, cafés, and on buses, and it performs well in environments with a normal level of background noise.

Could you try it yourself and share your feedback with me?

I didn’t mention my hardware. Pixel 8 Pro. I think we’re running into the classic problem with supporting Android devices. They’re all different. I’ve searched settings for “microphone” and “mic” and there’s no setting like the one you describe.

The latency issue seems like the biggest thing to improve, especially for live conversations where even a small delay can feel distracting. Android device differences also make compatibility tricky, so clearer microphone and hearing-aid setup instructions for specific devices could make testing much easier.:slight_smile:
