Built an app that speaks reminders through your hearing aids — posting as a daily user mysel

Summary

A developer who wears hearing aids built a free iOS app that routes spoken reminders directly to Bluetooth hearing aids, supporting voice input, prescription scanning, and daily briefings.

I wear hearing aids and built this app partly because I needed it myself. Standard iPhone reminders buzz and flash. If you're across the room, that's useless. Here's what it does differently for the HOH community: 🦻 Hearing Aid Mode — a dedicated setting that routes audio directly to your Bluetooth hearing aids and extends notification duration. I use it daily with my Phonak Audéo Infinio Sphere. Reminders speak into your aids, not the phone speaker. 🔊 Speaks reminders aloud. When a notification fires, the app reads it out — title, time, what it's for — routed to your aids. Hands-free, across the room, no screen-checking needed. 🎙️ Set reminders by voice. Just speak naturally: "Remind me to take Lisinopril every morning" or "Doctor at Atrium Health Tuesday at 2pm." Handles accents well — built on Whisper, the same engine behind professional transcription tools. 💊 Scan your prescription bottle. Point the camera at any medicine label — reads the name, dose, and refill date, then sets a daily reminder + a 5-day early refill alert. ☀️ Morning briefing through your aids. Pick a time (I use 7am) and the app speaks your full day — appointments, meds, anything time-sensitive — while you're getting ready. It's free on the App Store, iPhone only for now. 👉 https://apps.apple.com/app/ai-reminder-pro/id6763922421 Happy to answer questions — posting as the developer and a daily hearing aid user.
