About this app

Put on some Bluetooth headphones, tap the center button, and you can hear and amplify what your phone's microphone is picking up.

It's also possible to set up an automatic noise-trigger for audio recordings and have them sent to your email.

Whether you want to responsibly audio-monitor your environment, hear the TV and conversations better (non-medical hearing aid), or just listen to birdsong from indoors, Ear Scout amplifies and streams the audio from the mic to your Bluetooth headset (mic-to-headphone) in real time for remote hearing.

HEADPHONES REQUIRED. To avoid audio feedback you need to use headphones.

SAFETY FEATURE. After starting the app the volume increases gently to the set level. This way you have time to adjust to high gain settings from the previous session.

REVIEWS: Please review the app if you try it.

Ear Scout amplifies sound coming from your phone's microphone straight to your earphones (direct mic-to-headphones audio). To fine-tune the incoming signal, use the audio equalizer.

DISCLAIMER. This app is for remote hearing via email / Bluetooth (e.g. listening to nature / property monitoring) and sound amplification (non-medical hearing aid), not to listen in on private conversations. Please use Ear Scout responsibly.

Ratings and reviews

Admittedly I've only tried a handful of Audio Recording Apps so obviously I cannot claim this is the very best available however what I can say is this app has been fantastic, it's delivered everything that I wanted and more. I found it very easy to use and I have recommended it to many many friends and colleagues. No annoying pop ups, never crashed or frozen on me and honestly I can not fault it for a free app.

Ear Scout is a commendable app, don't get me wrong. It certainly amplifies the sound of your device's mic and picks up otherwise faint or distant sounds very well, but I am ditching this app and uninstalling it now that I've noticed the app alone takes up over 1 whole gigabyte of space! That is a deal-breaker for me, despite the fact that I have over 1 terabyte worth of space— seems entirely to large for its functions.

Very effective. I'm a victim of electronic harassment, otherwise known as electronic harassment, voice to skull, torture and this records the hallucinating in suppose to be experiencing. Constant noise yelling, bag mouthing aimed at my head only for me to hear. I used it last night and what no other recording app could catch this app did.
