About this app

Give your loved one back their hearing — for free.

HearNear turns any Bluetooth bone conduction headphones (Shokz, AfterShokz, Vidonn, Philips, Haylou) into a hearing aid. Place the phone on the table, press START, and your parent hears everyone in the room through their headphones.

No amplification. No configuration. No account. Just audio passthrough.

WHY BONE CONDUCTION?
Traditional hearing aids create buzzing, feedback noise, and a plugged-ear feeling that makes 1 in 4 owners stop wearing them. Bone conduction headphones have none of these problems — they sit on the cheekbone, leave ears completely open, and are comfortable enough to wear all day long. No buzzing. No discomfort. Just clear, natural sound.

HOW IT WORKS
Bone conduction headphones transmit sound through skull vibrations directly to the inner ear, bypassing damaged outer and middle ear structures. HearNear streams room audio from your phone's mic to the headphones. One button. That's it.

WHO IT HELPS
• Conductive hearing loss — bypasses damaged outer/middle ear
• Mild-to-moderate age-related hearing loss (presbycusis)
• People who bought hearing aids but hate wearing them
• Chronic ear infections — nothing goes inside the ear
• Post-ear surgery recovery

COST COMPARISON
• Traditional hearing aids: $3,000–$6,000
• HearNear + Shokz OpenMove: ~$80
• HearNear + budget BC headphones: from $15
• HearNear app: Free (Premium: $9.99/year)

PRICING
• Free: 30-day unlimited trial, then 30 min/day
• Premium: $9.99/year — unlimited daily use
• Lifetime: $29.99 — unlimited forever

Built by a family, for families. HearNear is not a medical device. Consult an audiologist for hearing loss diagnosis and treatment.
