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

Kind of annoying, only one voice accent definitely has an effect

For me, in English (American), there should be an option to have someone with an American accent. It’s a test where you enter the numbers the person says over white noise. But they have some sort of Australian sounding accent… I don’t know that I could understand them 100% without any noise lol. Ok concept, needs options. I suggest a long pause between rounds because of the “ghosting” imprint in your brain the white noise makes.i feel like there are better apps out there, sadly.

Sounds like white noise to me

I guess I really need to get my hearing checked for real because I don’t hear what they are talking about at all!

Does not work?

Could only hear the background noise and did not hear any numbers. Used 2 different headphones (Apple wired headphones and AirPods) and couldn’t get either to work.

No voice/numbers at all

I downloaded the app with high hopes of a quick assessment to see if it matched up with my professional audiologist’s report. Step one (turn the volume loud enough to hear the numbers) was only white/background noise. I thought something was wrong on my end so I had my husband check as well, and he confirmed there are no voices/numbers to even listen for.

Useless and a waste of time

Such a missed opportunity. The test itself is fine, but it leant give you any detailed analysis or information and next steps about what to do. This would have been very easy and a hugely missed opportunity, what were they thinking when they developed this app? It’s basically useless.

Nice!

Bugs from previous years seem to be fixed. I had no issues completing the test.

White noise nightmare

hated this app it has white noise in the background and it starts one second before they say the numbers you’re supposed to enter. It’s so instant and loud that I can’t process the sound before it starts speaking. If you have sensory issues do not download this app, I have AuDHD and it was only good for triggering my anxiety. WHO should do better.

This app is rubbish. Deleted

Doesn't work

Using my MacBook Air, the app would not recognize my headphones not AirPods even though each was definitely connected and tested to work before running the app. Uninstalled.

Works well

Works well.

Doesn’t work!

It gave exactly same score (40) with or without my hearing aids!
Significant hearing loss, advising me to get professional advice. I expect I’m now on some new mailing lists!

Does not work

All I hear is static ?

Not working

Only white noise- no digits are being said

This version doesn’t recognize headphones

What happened. I tried different headphones, which were paired to my phone, but kept getting an error message. Please fix it!
