“Do you have ANY hearing problem?” This seems like a simple question but it is difficult to answer. Since, hearing problem usually progress gradually, the hearing impaired can adapt themselves and hardly aware of the problem. This application was developed under the Thai Speech Acoustic Virtual Reality (Thai-SAVR) test for the detection of early dementia project in collaboration between Chulalongkorn University and University College London, funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering, the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) and Program Management Unit for National Competitiveness (PMUC), with Eartone Co., Ltd. providing support in developing this application. EarTest by Eartone is a self-hearing screening test application that can be used at home, suitable for those with hearing impairment and those who are at risk of developing hearing impediments, or general populace who desire to evaluate their own hearing ability. It can be used as a basic screening test before consulting with the specialist, in order to reduce risk factors contributing to potential additional hearing problems. The application can be divided as follows: - Test 1 is a brief hearing test which contains the sound of each frequency at 35 dB. There are 7 types of frequency in total, including 500Hz 1000Hz 2000Hz 3000Hz 4000Hz 6000Hz 8000Hz. The left and right ears are tested separately.

An effective hearing test that measures your threshold of hearing for sounds of different frequencies. Find out just how far your ears can hear ranging frequencies. Most of the people should be able to hear up to around 15kHz. From around 17kHz upwards, we get into a range that only the under 20's can hear. General: The human auditory system is sensitive to a wide range of sounds, both in terms of frequency (pitch) and intensity (loudness).The lowest sound (in pitch) we can typically hear is about 20 Hz, and the highest sound 20KHz. However, we are not all equally sensitive with all differing frequencies. Features: • With this version, you will test your frequency threshold, using static volume tones. • Using the iPhone headphones, you will be asked to adjust the iPhone volume, for clear and effective playback tones. • Your left and right ear will be tested alternately with every frequency, from the above frequency ranges. • After the test has been completed, you will get a report of your hearing frequency response.
