About this app

All people should check their hearing from time to time, especially those who are at a higher risk of hearing loss such as adults above 50 years, those working in noisy places, those listening to music at high volumes for long periods of time and those experiencing ear problems.

Services for early identification and intervention should be made available through the health system.

| Limitations |

The accuracy of your test results will depend on the type of headphones you use, as well as the ambient noise level. The results we provide are intended as a first step in testing your hearing. Please always seek advice from a medical professional.

| Disclaimer |

1. If your result from using hearWHO was not favourable, we strongly recommend you obtain a complete hearing evaluation by a certified service provider / medical professional to determine your exact hearing status.
2. Even if your results are in the positive range but you have concerns about your hearing, we encourage you to seek a complete hearing evaluation performed by a certified service provider / medical professional.
3. Whilst the test has a reasonable degree of accuracy, it is only intended as a screening test, with a small proportion of cases that may be incorrectly classified.
4. The WHO and hearX Group will not be held responsible or liable for any results that are incorrect or for your use of the application.
5. hearWHO is only intended for use by persons 16 years of age and above. The test is not intended to be used for children and will not provide reliable results in such cases.
6. A visit to a certified service provider can assist in differentiating between different types of hearing problems.
7. Hearing loss may be caused by obstruction of the outer ear canal from wax, fluid or changes in the structure or function of the middle ear system, and changes in function of the nervous system.
8. Some of these hearing problems can be treated whilst others may be permanent and may need assistive devices.
9. It is important to consult with a certified service provider early; all forms of hearing loss may become more serious is they are left unaddressed.

NOT FOR AMERICAN ENGLISH! Couldn't figure out why I was getting a bad score--everything was clear. I took 2 other app- & headphone-based hearing tests & got excellent scores. It's due to the English accent! Example: With high ambiant noise, her "1" and "4" are so similar @ end. Americans are used to the N in "1" being discernible but her's is completely opened mouth, round O mouth to end-no tip of tongue for "N". She doesn't use the "R" in "4" so it's like "foe", same open round O mouth at end.

Hi Allena, thank you for the feedback. An issue was found in the integration between the hearWHO and ICOPE applications, when using Android 11 devices. This issue has been resolved. Please ensure your hearWHO application is updated

I found it very useful. But I am having difficulty with accent. I scored 70 in the first test and 90 in the second one. My parents got 50 and 40 respectively, so the test is somewhat accurate. Don't be disappointed by your 1st test result, You will have to take 2 tests to get accurate results

- I would give more stars if It could evaluate separately right and left ears. - And because there is an option to chose your language but even though the speach is in English. So it's not understandable what you have to chose your language for? - Also, as you have to remember three digit sequence, the concentration or memory problems eventually could affect the results. - And, finally, I found an App "Check your hearing" which has many interesting features. - Thanks.

Good Day, This test was developed to present out-of-phase digits and picks up unilateral and conductive losses along with bilateral sensorineural losses. Also note that we are in the process of expanding the digit language options to include all of the United Nations official languages. Sincerely, The hearX Group team
