AI-assisted listening on your AirPods (or most Bluetooth earbuds): noise reduction and clearer speech in noisy environments.
I built SoundAid as a side project for people who need a little help hearing speech in cafés, transit, or crowded rooms. The idea is simple: turn earbuds into a conversation enhancer, not another complicated medical device.
It highlights the voice in front of you while cutting background chatter, with volume, frequency, and left/right balance controls. You can switch between the AirPods mic and the iPhone mic, so you can hand the phone across the table and still hear clearly.
Tone Control came later: bass and treble so different voices land the way you want them. Small feature, big difference when you’re trying to catch a soft voice in a loud room.
Live on the App Store and maintained. Not a big company, just a useful tool I keep running.
