Decibel Shield - dB Meter

I have some early signs of tinnitus due to over exposure from music. So I wanted to take my ear health more seriously. This app is great and free. You can pay for a premium version wich is great but even without it, there are a few extra little feature that are useful and cool to discover. TAKE CARE OF YOUR EARS PEOPLE. I’m only 25 and now have a constant ringing In my ear from wearing headphones all day at work at 80% volume all the time.

I got this so that way I could at least see when my fire alarm was going off because my fire alarm goes off every single time I cook being profoundly deaf. I currently don’t have anything debt flashes that indicates HEY. This is going on that being said wow, this is an absolutely really freaking cool device. My recommendation is every time something comes up like say you know you’ve got your speech or you got your laughter or you’ve got your alarm that you also list everything out as they come through Because I’m not able to go back and click on the high thing and see exactly what that red dust was, which would help me in the event of OK I’m distracted. I’m dealing with a client. I’m dealing with a person in front of me. Overall I love the concept of this *update for suggestion or maybe another side of it I feel the words are sometimes small and would like my screen to flash with whatever important thing is going on like when the phone rings I miss it when I’m interacting with a customer. I really was searching for something that flashed like white and said telephone in it red for fire alarm since your reader is so functional to what most sounds are such as emergency vehicles n stuff blue for police red and white maybe for fire trucks so it’s more of that visual when it happens. It’s dumb but I was debating on making something like that myself but very unsure of how to create that tbh. Again thank you I use this at work since my implant broke. I have this and another phone to help with the captioning at the same time. It’s a bit much but at this time I’ll take anything that helps. I love the free feature and I hope this doesn’t change accessibility is important and finding apps that are truly accessible are one in a few.

Hello Developers of DecibelX. This is a pretty decent app for everyday use. I don’t know how accurate it is with say a police officer’s decided reader, but I enjoy it nonetheless. The reason I’m not sure about your Db being that accurate is you all believe 30 Db’s is a soft whisper, could be, but not from 3 feet away as is explained on one of your other apps that is tied into this one. If I am standing 3 feet away from someone I am not whispering. I am having a somewhat difficult time conversing with someone and talking rather loudly. That’s not a whisper. A whisper is standing/sitting right next to someone and probably touching their ear with lips and their face with your hand to whisper sweet nothings in their ear. An impossible feat from three feat away. Don’t you all agree? So from there the Decibel chart is faulty. 60-70 decibels is quite loud. A loud rock concert is 120, bands have to use special equipment to reach “the average decibel” you are saying. This is ear splitting, shattering music. It be more accurate to say it’s similar to standing next to a building that just keeps being demolished for 2 hours. Other than that it is great. I don’t like that you took away features your faithful users could use for free. The users that downloaded an app because they read a blog post. Your price is also out of many people’s budget’s. I don’t know who you are catering too, but it is not the average user. That’s what developers do take a good app then ruin it. Why can’t they just leave the old app alone and make a different app from the original, like a spin-off? Pac-Man then, Miss Pac-Man. People still love those old games. Enough about that, onward. Why did my entire history disappear in one of these updates? It is all gone. This is tragic. I need it back. THIS IS A BIG GLITCH IN YOUR SOFTWARE UPDATE! Please fix.
