Amazing!!

To be honest, this app is around 80% really close to audiometer tests I have been involved with health professionals. Of course we are missing a profound background about our listening skills, this app is absolutely good at it. Highly recommended

Mic disabled

I used this app several years ago. I just downloaded it to try it again and it said that the microphone was not turned on. Unfortunately when I went to the microphone set up on my iPhone uHear wasn’t trying to access my microphone so at this point I can’t use it

One of the most useful and oldest health app in ios

I first dowloaded this App 9 years ago when it was one of the pioneer apps for using smartphone for healthcare use-case applications. It has improved over the past 9 years... to accommodate newer hardware and more depth. Last week, I needed to test my 83 yr old Mom’s for hearing loss.. Also compared it with a clinical test in MiracleEar franchise.. apple-apple match and very professional result! kudos to Unitron and Dr. Don Hayes and Zeitguys for a great and easy to use interface!!!
I was able to use the test, upload to a great web based hearing aid e-commerce site and get the hearing aid delivered all in just 48 hrs..every other (called 4) Costco/Miracle ear shop could not give even an appointment for next 2 months !!!

Matched my ENT’s test results

Because of all of the ear problems I had as a child, I knew I would have issues with my hearing as I got older. I recently went to my ENT for a full hearing test. About a month later, I then used this app to test my hearing. The results were almost identical. I was very impressed with the results of my test.

Beware the AdWare

Displayed in the appstore as a response to "iPhone as a hearing aid" query - it is a hearing "test" (not "aid") app, gladly "offering" additional services, as other reviews accurately pointed out.
My hard of hearing mom says "thanks, but no thanks!"
