Don’t think this is reliable

Not really confident in this app. Did the test twice within minutes in the same conditions. First time I got 49, second time I got 80 and I actually found the second time harder to hear! Seems too big a difference to not be an app issue

I can’t hear the digits

Like some other people, I can hear the noise just fine (very loud) but I cannot hear the digits at all.

Easy to use, results make sense

I have a high-frequency loss and the rest is low normal hearing according to a hearing test done by an Audiologist. I was interested to know what this app showed as it was recommended at a conference I went to. It showed that I should get my hearing tested which makes sense. The only thing I’d add to the app is a scale. What does a score of 40 mean? I used my AirPods Pro gen 3 and there were no connectivity issues or error messages. Instructions were clear.

Bad

The accent of the woman (South African?) makes it hard to understand her sometimes! Useless test as a result…

Doesn’t work

Instead of number it just play a annoying loud wheezing
