EarGuide: Audio Log

EarGuide Log helps hearing aid users capture and document real-world listening challenges.

HOW IT WORKS:

- Record short audio clips of environments where hearing is difficult

- Automatically capture loudness estimates (dBFS) for each recording

- Log details like the listening issue, environment type, and personal notes

- Build a searchable history of challenging listening situations

- Export your complete event history as CSV for easy sharing

- Optional Firebase sync to backup and share across devices

PERFECT FOR:

- Hearing aid users preparing for audiology appointments

- Documenting specific environments that cause listening difficulty

- Creating concrete examples to share with hearing specialists

- Tracking patterns in challenging listening situations

FEATURES:

- One-tap audio recording with automatic metering

- Categorize issues: too loud, unclear speech, background noise, tinny/sharp

- Tag environments: restaurant, outdoors, conversation, TV/music, other

- Add custom notes to each recording

- Local storage with optional cloud backup

- Privacy-focused: your recordings stay on your device unless you choose to sync

NOTE ON LOUDNESS READINGS:

The loudness value shown uses microphone metering in dBFS. This helps compare quiet vs loud environments but is not a calibrated SPL reading in dB.
