What it is

clir Hearing is an iOS app that uses on-device processing to make speech clearer through headphones or hearing devices. Place an iPhone near a conversation or hold it, then open the app; it detects speech and removes background noise in real time. Clear Speech mode applies AI noise removal, while Original mode provides natural, gently amplified sound. Listed compatible devices include AirPods, Made-for-iPhone hearing aids, most Bluetooth headphones, and cochlear implants. Stated latency is 8 ms with wired audio and 98 ms with wireless audio. The app works without internet and requires no account. Audio stays on the device: conversations are not uploaded, stored, or used for training. Suggested situations include restaurants, family gatherings, meetings, television, and calls. First sessions are free without sign-up, with in-app purchases afterward. Monthly access costs $12.99 a month; yearly access costs $59.99 a year. It requires iOS 15.0 or later and is not a medical device.
