Effa: Hearing Check

Gndsoft

About this app

Effa is a free hearing check you can do at home in about five minutes. Put on your headphones, find a quiet spot and tap whenever you hear a tone.

HOW IT WORKS
Effa plays soft tones through your headphones, earphones, bone-conduction headphones or the phone's earpiece and estimates the quietest level you can hear at each pitch – separately for each ear.

WHAT YOU GET
• An easy summary in plain words, no jargon
• An audiogram-style chart of your hearing across pitches
• A comparison with people in your age group
• Tinnitus sound finder: match the pitch of the ringing you hear
• A history of your checks so you can notice changes over time
• A background-noise meter that tells you when it is quiet enough
• Free, with no ads

NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE
Effa is a hearing check for reference only. It is not a medical device and does not replace an examination by an ENT doctor or audiologist. Results depend on your headphones, volume and surroundings. If you are worried about your hearing, please see a hearing professional.

YOUR DATA
Your measurements stay on your phone. If you choose to, you can share anonymous results (age, thresholds, device model, volume, noise level) to help us build correction profiles for popular earphones and improve accuracy for everyone. No account, no email, no advertising ID and no precise location are collected. You can turn sharing off or delete everything in Settings at any time.

WHY "EFFA"?
Effa comes from "Ephphatha", which means "be opened" (Mark 7:34).
