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

Comments

Excellent and long awaited initiative! I have a genetic hearing loss on both ears. It's a bit different on both ears though. Now I use Poweramp for Android with its excellent EQ to tune the audio as good as possible after my "cookie cutter" audiogram. On my computers I use the system wide EQ "Hear" [ http://www.prosofteng.com/products/hear.php ]. One inherent flaw with all solutions I've come across so far though (as with yours?) is that EQ can't be tuned differently for each channel (left and right).

Nice idea though. But I'll have to wait for a system wide Android EQ (there is one, but it has too few bands https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandro... ). Preferably combined with your hearing test based EQ (can't say much about it as I don't use an iOS device other than at work).
