That happens after one-sided hearing loss, and a hearing aid alone does not fix it — it makes things louder, not clearer. The path from sound to word has to be practised again.\n\nTwo modes, both aimed at the same thing:\n\nLearning mode — a word is played with its text visible. This builds the link between what arrives and what it means.\n\nExam mode — the word is played, the card stays covered. You rate yourself. That rating decides when the word comes back: after a minute, after ten, after a day, a week or a month.\n\nHearing and reading at the same time also helps with spelling: in learning mode you hear a word and see how it is written. That works for the bundled words and for your own recordings alike.\n\n92 words and sentences are included: 72 in German — 68 from free speech synthesis, four spoken by real voices — and 20 in English. Which language you train is a setting of its own, separate from the language of the interface. Your own recordings can be added: speak a word or sentence, write it down, train it. Several speakers can be kept apart and switched on or off individually — a familiar voice is a different exercise from a stranger's.\n\nFor harder practice, put a background noise under the speech and set the distance between the two in decibels. Three levels do it in one tap: easy without noise, hard with a clear speech advantage, advanced with the noise above the speech. One noise is included, recorded inside a bus. Your own can be recorded or imported as WAV files.\n\nFor headphone training there is a channel choice — left, right or both — which helps when only one ear should be trained. Over a Bluetooth hearing aid, stereo is summed to mono; the app detects this and shows the channel choice as ineffective instead of pretending otherwise.\n\nWhat AudioLex does not do: it requests no internet perm","categories":["Science & Education","Sports & Health"]}
