Temporary Hearing Loss Test helps you measure the softest sound you can hear before and after exposure to loud music or noise. This comparison indicates a temporary shift in your hearing threshold, often experienced as muffled sound or ringing.
The app compares the softest sound detectable before and after a noise event. The difference, measured in decibels (dB), quantifies the temporary threshold shift (TTS), indicating the degree of temporary hearing loss.
A small shift in dB is not significant. However, shifts between 6-15 dB (orange) or greater than 15 dB (red) suggest over-exposure to noise and potential risk to your hearing.
The app's accuracy relies on user input and the precision of the device's microphone. It's designed to detect temporary shifts, not to provide a clinical diagnosis. Users report a low rating of 2.3 stars from 3 ratings, suggesting potential concerns about its perceived accuracy or utility.
