Comment on SoundFocus (YC S13) Launches With an App for ‘20/20 Hearing’

Comments

This is really cool. I have a friend who is a very talented multi-instrumentalist but who also has hearing loss in the low frequency range. I sent him this app and look forward to finding out how / if it helps him listen to his own recorded music.

Thanks Muraiki - we'd love to hear what your friend thinks of the app.

I asked him if it helped, and he unfortunately said: "Actually no :( All it did was boost the bass up so much that it just got muddy." But I think he has a pretty severe impairment in terms of hearing bass frequencies, so I don't know if there's much that could feasibly be done.
