Hear from Far Away

Hear from a distance with the Hear from Far Away app.
The Hear from Far Away app turns your phone into a remote microphone, hearing amplifier and listening device that streams amplified audio directly to your Bluetooth headphones or wireless earbuds to help you hear from a distance.

Hear from Far Away helps you hear from a distance when conversations, TV dialogue, lectures, meetings, speakers, or important surrounding sounds are difficult to hear clearly. Place your phone near the sound source, connect your Bluetooth headphones or earbuds, and tap Listen to hear amplified audio in real time.

Use Hear from Far Away whenever you need to hear from a distance. Your phone captures nearby sound through its microphone, amplifies quieter audio, reduces distracting background noise, and streams the clearer sound to your connected headphones or earbuds.

The Hear from Far Away app is useful for hearing conversations, watching TV, attending lectures, following meetings, listening to presentations, monitoring baby sounds, and staying aware of important audio from another part of a room or house.

To hear TV from a distance, place your phone near the television and listen through your Bluetooth earbuds or headphones. You can hear dialogue more clearly while sitting farther away, moving around the house, or briefly stepping outside the living room without turning the television volume too high.

In lectures, classrooms, meetings, and presentations, place your phone closer to the lecturer or speaker. Hear from Far Away lets you hear from a distance through your wireless earphones, making speech easier to follow when you are seated at the back of the room or away from the person speaking.

During conversations and group discussions, place your phone closer to the people speaking and listen through your connected headphones. The app can amplify quiet voices and help you hear from a distance when low volume, room size, or surrounding noise makes speech difficult to understand.

Hear from Far Away can also work as a simple audio baby monitor. Place your phone near your baby’s crib or sleeping area, then listen through your Bluetooth earbuds from another nearby room. Hear crying, movement, and other baby sounds while working, relaxing, or completing household tasks.

The closer your phone is to the sound source, the clearer the streamed audio can be. Place your smartphone near a television, lecturer, meeting table, speaker, baby’s crib, conversation, or any other sound you want to hear from a distance.

Hear from Far Away includes sound amplification and noise reduction controls that help make voices, speech, TV dialogue, and surrounding sounds louder, clearer, and easier to understand through headphones or earbuds.

You can also use the built-in sound recorder to record lectures, meetings, interviews, conversations, voice notes, and other important audio. Save recordings and listen to them again later whenever you need to review what was said.

Whether you want to hear conversations more clearly, hear TV from a distance, follow a lecture from the back of the room, listen to a speaker from farther away, or monitor baby sounds from another room, Hear from Far Away turns your phone into a convenient remote microphone and listening device to help you hear from a distance.
