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).
