Watching TV in the wee hours

Sometimes I watch TV at night and have no choice but to watch in mute or lower the volume. Didn't enjoy the show that much. Later I had a wireless earphone, but for each use I have to plug in to the headphone jack as well as to plug in to the power, check the battery etc. It's a hassle.

With the new version of LouderTV, I have enable the microphone input on the iPhone. When a normal earphone (without a built-in mic) is plugged in, I can put the phone next to the TV and listen to the TV via long phone extension.

Guess what, that extension cost only SGD$2.00 as it can be found in Daiso.
The TV volume is set to very soft but I can adjust the sound on my iPhone to boost it up using LouderTV. With the new noise reduction feature, the background noise is not so obvious.

Give your iPhones a new life

As we awaits the arrival of a new iPhone and wondering how are we going to dispose of our current older model, a little suggestion:

Pass them to your older folks.
Download LouderTV and now your folks can have a simple hearing aid that will enable to listen clearer once again.

For better sound quality you might what to try this

Accuracy of the Hearing Test

I was always curious with the accuracy of the hearing test. Here is the results:
Using an in-ear headset from Creative Aurvana In-Ear connected via a 2cc coupler to a professional SPL Meter in an Anechoic chamber.

Overall the accuracy is +/- 2.5dB with the sound at almost all frequency except at 8kHz.
The most accurate reading is at 1kHz with an average of +/- 0.05dB.
All the measurements are taking at room temperature condition in dB-SPL levels of 35,45,55,65,75,85,95 and 100.

"Great idea, but... ★★★

by Tomland - Version 1.0.2 - May 26, 2012

While it did a decent job of picking up nearby conversations, it did not work well picking up the tv sounds. Perhaps I misunderstood the app's intentions (the description is apparently translated English)"

======= Please see if this Helps ======================

Unfortunately, the microphone that comes from Apple is omni-directional and it is very closed to user's mouth.

1. My suggestion is to get an external microphone extension, in this way one can put the microphone closer to the TV.

2. Another parameter to adjust is to try the fine tuning on LouderTV while watch the TV.

My initial test with our trial users suggest an overall improvement while using LouderTV.

3. Perhaps trying retuning in a quiet room.

I do like to hear more response as we are trying our best to keep on improving the application.

他们想帮忙但患会多加抗议。而且一台耳机可不便宜。
