The best Android phones always carry the latest accessibility features to ensure every person can use their smartphone to its full potential. Your Pixel phone has one such feature in a bid to help people around the world living with hearing loss. It’s called Sound Amplifier. If your Google Pixel is running Android 6.0 or higher, you may have noticed a green icon with an ear, but you may not have known what it does. The Sound Amplifier app can turn your earphones into makeshift hearing aids so that you can hear conversations better in noisy places. But that's not all it can do, and this feature has the potential to be used for more than accessibility.
Whether you’re at a concert or a busy restaurant, this app can be very useful. Sound Amplifier basically allows you to customize frequencies to augment important sounds, such as a friend’s voice or the sound coming from your TV. You can emphasize foreground sounds and minimize background noise to ensure you're only hearing what you want.
