Allison interviews Oscar Paytuvi from Jacoti Hearing Technologies about their newly developed ListenApp that converts your iPod Touch or iPhone into a hearing support system. This app uses your Apple earphones to hear voices around you clearer and the sound from applications like music players, podcast applications, voice over IP systems, etc. Jacoti Hearing Suite was selected as a CES 2016 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Tech For A Better World product category. The setting is the CES Unveiled show floor.

Wow. Ironic, you interviewing him in such a noisy situation. Between that, and his accent, anyone with a hearing problem would be out of luck.
I found the Jacoti web site very opaque as to what this App actually does and what is the problem to be solved. It was mostly oriented to people who might pay them license fees.
I thought I would just download the App and give it a try. On startup you are asked your email, and then the license agreement and then a whole page of creating an account and personal info.
I’m very put off by that. There is no reason an app like this even needs to have an account, certainly for the basic functionality. I deleted the app.
Too many Apps and sites do this recently. First, sign up, give us all your info, swear to the license, and then, maybe, we’ll explain what this is even good for.
