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

theyre just some lenovo ones that clip around the back of my ear, got em for a fiver on aliexpress lol, not the highest quality but they have a low delay mode which is good for this
well, technically i dont use hearing aids, but really theyre discreet bluetooth earphones that connect to my phone and ive set it so when they connect, the android Sound Amplifier app starts, and amplifies speech but not background noise. its a little awkward but it helps :3
APD mentioned 🔥(i need hearing aids)


i use arch btw, and i call them folders (btw)
its kinda pointless making a big deal about what people call it as long as everyone is understood.
the beauty of linux is choice, theres loads of options and distros and software, who cares if you choose to call it a folder or directory?
