Hearing Test Pro

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 the bundled headphones and predefined calibration coefficients from the database),
* 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 bundled 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

Does a very good job of giving relative§ info about one's hearing. Even more accurate apparently with calibrated headphones. I strongly recommend you use it before letting an expensive agency persuade you that you're in serious need of their help! If nothing else, it gives you a better idea of your strengths and weaknesses in your audio sensitivity. § - only an audiologist can verify that it's absolute info. But I feel that it probably pretty nearly is, if it finds your headphone coefficients.

Very good app but could do with a few improvements such as a home button & some instruction on how to use. I wanted to reward the developer by paying for the pro version but unfortunately this can't be done with in-app purchase but requires the pro version app to be downloaded. This means you have to recalibrate your headphones again (hence only 4 stars).

It's one of the best apps for hearing test on Android, I've been using it for a few years now. The developer finally released an update (thanks! it fixed that persistent crash on app closing, appreciate it!) My only gripe is with the calibration UI. The continuous tone calibration is basically useless, since it's hard to set the correct volume by up/down buttons as it keeps moving; it should've been done as a normal hearing test with subsequent value adjustments. Adjusting a test to another audiogram is much better, but the UI for it is very well hidden, and I'm not sure it works as advertised. I tried calibrating another device based on the previous I used, and the results are still widely different on the two devices. I also didn't find a way to store multiple custom adjustments (e.g. for different headphones); that would also be very useful.
