Bxtel Releases Hearing Aid App for iPhone
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) May 28, 2015 -- Bxtel LLC, a mobile applications company focused on healthcare, released Enhanced Ears, its new app that enables an Apple iPhone to function like a hearing aid. More than 36 million Americans incur hearing loss, which can significantly impact quality of life. However, many resist seeking help or wearing hearing aids because of significant cost, potential discomfort and embarrassment.
The Enhanced Ears iPhone app can be an affordable, discreet and effective alternative to hearing aids for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. The app helps users hear better in everyday situations such as watching TV or talking with friends.
"With so many millions of Americans struggling with hearing loss, including young adults, we wanted to provide a low cost, effective alternative to hearing aids to help those with mild to moderate hearing loss,” said Ben Tyler, Bxtel founder.
Users can purchase Enhanced Ears in the Apple App Store for $39.99. It does not collect personal data or run ads. It is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and requires iOS 8.0 or later. For best results, use an iPhone 5, 5S, 6 or 6 Plus.
