About this app

Put on some Bluetooth headphones, tap the center button, and you can hear and amplify what your phone's microphone is picking up.

It's also possible to set up an automatic noise-trigger for audio recordings and have them sent to your email.

Whether you want to responsibly audio-monitor your environment, hear the TV and conversations better (non-medical hearing aid), or just listen to birdsong from indoors, Ear Scout amplifies and streams the audio from the mic to your Bluetooth headset (mic-to-headphone) in real time for remote hearing.

HEADPHONES REQUIRED. To avoid audio feedback you need to use headphones.

SAFETY FEATURE. After starting the app the volume increases gently to the set level. This way you have time to adjust to high gain settings from the previous session.

REVIEWS: Please review the app if you try it.

Ear Scout amplifies sound coming from your phone's microphone straight to your earphones (direct mic-to-headphones audio). To fine-tune the incoming signal, use the audio equalizer.

DISCLAIMER. This app is for remote hearing via email / Bluetooth (e.g. listening to nature / property monitoring) and sound amplification (non-medical hearing aid), not to listen in on private conversations. Please use Ear Scout responsibly.

Works great. I use it at work so I can hear the office phone ring when I'm not at the front desk. Just pop in an ear bud and leave my cell by the office phone and I can hear when a guest comes in when I'm in the back folding laundry and I can hear the phone ringing when I'm running the crosswave cleaning the floor. Very handy app. I use it everyday.

Amazing. Using to locate wildlife under home. Also, if needed, as a hidden (bug) microphone in rooms that you aren't in. Extremely useful and very easy to use. As a side note, all of the features and tools are amazing as well 👌. 1 out of a hundred, I give it 1000% !!!!!!!

On of the best apps for distant listening and I've tried a lot of them. Easy to use and easy to understand plus the sound booster and equalizer are added bonuses. Some other apps let you listen but not record or vise versa. You can listen, record and tweak it with the equalizer all in one place. Recommend it 9/10. Would say 10/10 if we could edit it too. .like cut out parts and keep what you need. But can't complain.
