Hear Outside Through Earphones

Hear Outside does exactly one thing: it lets you hear the world around you while keeping your earphones in. It passes whatever the microphone picks up straight to your earphones — a "digital pass-through." When someone calls your name or you don't want to miss an announcement, try hearing the world with your earbuds in. ■ One button, that's it - Tap "Start" and outside sound flows straight into your earphones - A gently swaying waveform shows the sound is coming through ■ Volume, your way - Amplify from 0.5x up to 3x with the slider - At 2x and above, Super Hearing mode kicks in — the giant ear on screen gets ridiculously big ■ Built with care - To prevent feedback, it only starts while earphones are connected (it won't run on the speaker) - It stops automatically on phone calls, app interruptions, or when your earphones disconnect ■ Your data - Mic audio is processed on your device, solely to pass it to your earphones - Audio is never recorded, saved, or transmitted anywhere - The app shows ads (see the privacy policy for details) Note: latency depends on your earphones (wired is lowest; Bluetooth varies by model). Note: this app is not a hearing aid or a medical device.
