Android’s Sound Amplify feature
lets people use their phones to amplify and clarify audio.
It’s not a replacement for a dedicated hearing aid, but it is still useful.
Until now, it only worked with wired headphones, a fairly big problem in a world where few phones have a headphone jack anymore. Today, it will finally support Bluetooth headphones.

Sound Amplifier requires Android 6.0 +
Live Transcribe
Live Transcribe is next, and it remains one of the most helpful Android features Google has ever made. It does exactly what it sounds like, automatically transcribing speech into text — in more than one language if you like.
The new feature here is that you can set specific words that Google’s transcription engine might not recognize, like a specifically hard-to-transcribe name or technical term.
You do so by simply typing the word into Live Transcribe’s settings; you don’t actually need to train it by speaking the word out loud.
