If the latency is good enough for telephone conversations, how would it be worse with a simple graphic equalizer feeding an amplifier? Seems to me like feedback would be the bigger issue.
Here ya go. Half a million installs and a 4.1 rating. Most of the low ratings are unrelated to the app's ability to do it's job as a hearing aid.
On the subject of hearing aids, has anyone used one of those android apps that claims they will turn your smartphone into a hearing aid?

> That's what I wrote. Why don't your favorite Android companies care?
Really?
> Apple Watch now has fitness algorithms designed for wheelchair users.
Any fitness watch will track that information as it's a large movement of the arms. It will take them down as steps.
> Switch Control lets you use switches, a joystick, or another adaptive device to control what’s on your screen.
You mean like OTG devices that you can plug in with ease and at much cheaper price than bluetooth versions? Like joysticks, touch pads and other accessibility devices.
> Live Listen lets you use your Made for iPhone hearing aids and iPhone to hear more clearly in loud places.
So apps like this or any of these
> VoiceOver can describe what’s on your screen, even while you’re taking a photo.* And when you’re looking back at pictures, it can recognize things like facial expressions, scenes, and specific objects.
Which can be accomplished via video or something like this - it's not enabled by default so it's not any easier than looking for an app to do the same thing.
> If it’s easier for you to read with an auditory element, Speak Screen can read text aloud from books, web pages, or homework assignments.
Really, Google is one of the leading companies for Text to Voice and most natural sounding of the group.
> With Siri, you can control HomeKit-enabled accessories using your voice. So you can turn on lights, start the coffee, open the blinds, and adjust the thermostat just by speaking.
So like Google Home/Amazon Echo, but shittier because of Siri and less support?
> I don't consider the bloody ROI.
Bullshit, Apple stockholders would have him hung if he perpetually lost company value year after year. It's all PR talk. There's a reason why they don't market in third world countries, or have any Apple stores in low income areas. At least Google tried to create programs like Android One to help lower income nations, the OEMs just don't see the value of providing the support post sales because of the low profit margins. They are trying to make money, but by selling large quantities at low margins, like gasoline or produce, thus they can't really afford to provide 3+ years support for a disposable device. Face it, Apple won't EVER make a $150, non-subsidized device.
The only reason you started talking about disability accessibility settings is because you can't find any real evidence about them wanting to provide access to the poor, shifting subject is a weak move. The fact you're spitting all this useless bullshit out just makes you sound like someone from /r/the_donald, but instead supporting Apple in the same exact mindless manner.
