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

FAQ

What is hearWHO?

hearWHO is a mobile application designed to help individuals screen their hearing health. It provides a preliminary assessment to raise awareness about potential hearing loss and encourages users to seek professional medical advice if necessary.

How accurate is the hearWHO test?

The accuracy of the test results depends on the headphones used and the ambient noise level. While the test has a reasonable degree of accuracy, it is intended as a screening tool and may misclassify a small proportion of cases. Professional evaluation is always recommended for definitive results.

Is hearWHO free to use?

Yes, hearWHO is a free application. There are no costs associated with downloading or using the hearing screening feature provided by the app.

Who can use the hearWHO app?

The hearWHO app is intended for use by persons 16 years of age and above. It is not designed for children, and the test will not provide reliable results for this age group.

What should I do if my hearWHO test results are not favorable?

If your test results are not favorable, it is strongly recommended to obtain a complete hearing evaluation from a certified service provider or medical professional. Even if results are positive, consulting a professional is encouraged if you have any concerns about your hearing.
