Hearing Test

About this app

The app provides two basic hearing test: pure-tone audiometry and the speech intelligibility test (the digits-in-noise).

Pure-tone audiometry determines the degree of hearing loss in relation to the sound frequency. The test consists in determining the quietest sound that you are able to hear, thus determining your hearing threshold. The digits-in-noise test evaluates speech intelligibility and consists of recognition of the digits in the noise.

The features of the Hearing Test app:
* pure-tone audiometry (using bundled headphones and predefined calibration coefficients from the database),
* the digits-in-noise test for speech intelligibility measurements,
* noise meter to measure background noise during the test,
* calibration of the device (in the case of lack of predefined calibration or for headphones other than bundled).

Additional features:
* high-frequency audiometry,
* classification of the hearing loss,
* comparison with age norms,
* printing of the tests results,
* adding notes,
* calibration adjustment (calibration coefficients may be adjusted on the basis of your results obtained using clinical audiometer),
* verification of calibration coefficients.

Pro version features:
* local database (offline access to tests results, without connecting to the server),
* synchronization (your tests results can be stored in a cloud; data are easy to recover, can be transferred between devices and accessed on different devices).

Ratings and reviews

Great little app if you live in a place where there is no audiologist. My only suggestion is that in addition to graphing the data, having the option of offloading the data as a comma separated variable (CSV) file would be handy for importing the data into an Excel table.

Recommended by my ear doctor, not as a substitute for professional audiology tests, but to supplement them. I did a test on this app right after going to the audiologist and compared results. This app is accurate. Use it to monitor your hearing for changes. If you experience a sudden hearing loss, get in to see a specialist right away, within 2 weeks. They might be able to treat you and reverse the hearing loss. They said after 2 weeks the treatment is less likely to work. Take it seriously!

First off, this is the best free hearing test app available. No doubt about that, and a comparison to my actual hearing test from my audiologist shows a startling accuracy that I was not expecting. This app does however have a couple of areas where improvements can be made, including server connectivity problems and occasional loud hissing/static if the Hz are out of your device's threshold. But seriously, if used correctly, this app is incredibly accurate, especially for no money! Recommended.
