The iPhone As Hearing Aid
I’ve come across a great collection of 7 useful iPhone medical application on Mashable. But my favourite new app of the week is the SoundAMP which I found on Medgadget.
A new application for the Apple iPhone has been designed to aid people with poor hearing, featuring abilities that not even a hearing aid can boast of. Essentially a volume booster, the app amplifies everything that is being heard by the microphone and allows the user to set which frequencies to boost and which to filter. Additionally, the application continuously keeps a recorded buffer of what it hears, allowing you to quickly replay the last five to thirty seconds of a misheard conversation.
