Useful Apps for learning to listen to sounds.

Living in Canada we are lucky enough to have access to weekly visits from a specialist teacher of the deaf & hard of hearing, a home visiting program ran by the provincial schools & ministry of Education. This is to assist Isabella with her hearing loss & is an early intervention program with a focus on communication & language development.

Here are some useful audiology based apps we were provided with from our lovely teacher Kate.

• UE SPL: Has a meter that measures volume 
• uHear by Unitron; measuring hearing sensitivity (as well as an app is capable of), hearing in noise & creates a profile
• earMeter: measures hearing sensitivity, describes frequencies, ear anatomy, and describes hearing in animal species
• Starkey HLS: hearing loss simulator with sample hearing loss profiles 
• Ling 6: illustrations of Ling 6 sounds with a child producing the sounds
