Hearing Test

About this app

The app offers two basic hearing tests: pure-tone audiometry and the digits-in-noise test (digit triplet test) for assessing speech intelligibility.

Pure-tone audiometry determines the degree of hearing loss as a function of sound frequency. The test consists of determining the quietest sound you are able to hear, thereby establishing your hearing threshold. The digits-in-noise test evaluates speech intelligibility and consists of recognizing digits presented in background noise.

Features of the Hearing Test app:
* pure-tone audiometry (using predefined calibration coefficients for manufacturer-supplied wired headphones or Bluetooth headphones),
* digits-in-noise test for measuring speech intelligibility,
* a noise meter for measuring background noise during the test,
* device calibration (when no predefined calibration is available or when using headphones other than the manufacturer-supplied ones).

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

Pro version features:
* local database (offline access to test results without connecting to the server),
* synchronization (your test results can be stored in the cloud; the data are easy to recover, can be transferred between devices, and accessed on different devices),
* manual stimulus control in pure-tone audiometry (you can turn the stimulus on and off manually during the test).

Ratings and reviews

Even though I haven't tried the app yet, with the headset on, even through my phone speaker it is obvious to me this is a well-thought-out and professionally-made app to test your hearing. It's become harder & harder over time for me to understand other people speaking. Wondering whether those frequencies are getting harder me to be able to hear. Even with my phone speaker; I found out that it's true. (I looked up the frequencies of average human speech on a medical website)

I would love to rate this app higher, it's excellently made. The problem is needing to have someone else with good hearing spend 7 minutes calibrating it for you first, but if you don't have anyone to do that for you, you can't rely on the calibration. It says it has the calibration for your device and the "bundled headphones" that came with it in a database, but what phone comes with headphones anymore?? You should be able to input the calibration data manually based on headphone specs

I was going to give this app a high score until today, many months after initially using the app and having suffered a sudden worsening of my hearing, only to find that the old headphone calibration is not able to be used. No reason given, option is just greyed out. The person who did the original calibration is unavailable so there's no way to make a comparison. Entirely useless now.
