About SoundSteps

We read the forums. We heard all the asks — for a Spanish app, for German and French. We heard that the apps everyone gets pointed to are too tough to use, or even to log in to. So we built the one we wanted.

Background noise is the number one thing that people are working on, or want to be better at, when they have hearing loss, and we have that built in. Wind noise. Masks. Drive-throughs. The table where everybody talks at once.

Real life never sounds like one person. At launch there are 27,000+ studio-clear audio clips recorded for listening practice, 6,200 sentences, 200 stories, and 900+ conversation exchanges — and we're still adding. It works with any brand of hearing device.

We see it mentioned in the hearing aid forums that people wish they had a website, or that they don't have a smartphone. So there's a website. SoundSteps runs in any browser with nothing to install, and if you'd rather have the app, it's on the App Store and Google Play.

None of that is the part that does the work. Consistent practice, over time, showing up consistently — that's the thing. The app is the tool. You still have to pick it up.

Take the listening check and we'll use it to choose your starting point. Then practice a few minutes a day, and you'll start to notice which voices are hardest to follow. Everyone gets a week of full access, free. A free tier stays open after that.
