    Does this amplify the things spoken to you or just audio you are listening to? I have a broader sensory processing disorder, and I’ve really become picky about the types of situations I’ll go into because it takes such a huge toll. I think it would probably be easier to live with if I didn’t have to concentrate so hard on separating conversations from ambient noise

      Yes! Thank you! Separating conversation from ambient noise. That’s a part I struggle with.

      And my wife wonders why I can never hear her over the air conditioner/sink/etc.

      it uses my phone microphone, and amplifies speech from what it ggets there, then sends it to the earphones. it kinda took a lot of fiddling with settings to get it to be able to generally pick out speech, and i have to hold my phone mic up to my friends like an interviewer if its very noisy, but my parents wont get me checked for it and hearing aids are expensive lol
