About

Hearing Decibel Pro

Features
Read full description

Hearing Decibel Pro is a complete hearing health toolkit for your iPhone: a real-time decibel meter, at-home hearing test, auditory training exercises, and noise exposure tracker, all in one app. Whether you want to check if your neighborhood is too loud, screen your hearing between doctor visits, protect yourself during concerts, or strengthen your listening skills, Hearing Decibel Pro helps you understand and protect your hearing every day. REAL-TIME DECIBEL METER Instantly measure the sound level around you using your iPhone's microphone. The meter shows live decibel readings with a color-coded gauge from safe to dangerous, tracks your minimum, average, and peak dB, and displays a real-time waveform. Plain-language safety messages explain what each reading means, whether that's "Quiet," "Safe for extended listening," or "Consider moving somewhere quieter." Perfect for checking loud environments like concerts, construction sites, restaurants, traffic, workouts, and home appliances. AT-HOME HEARING TEST Screen your hearing in minutes with a pure-tone hearing check, inspired by audiometric testing methodology. Test both ears separately at 6 key frequencies from 250 Hz to 8 kHz. Your results appear as a visual audiogram with color-coded severity zones and plain-language interpretation such as "Normal hearing," "Mild loss," or "Moderate loss." The app recommends when to see a licensed audiologist, saves past tests so you can track changes over time, and lets you export your audiogram as a PDF to share with your doctor. Works best with over-ear or in-ear headphones in a quiet room. Hearing Decibel Pro is a screening tool, not a medical diagnosis. Always consult a licensed audiologist if you have concerns about your hearing. NOISE EXPOSURE TRACKING Understand your daily sound exposure and how it affects your hearing long-term. The app monitors environmental noise while open, tracks headphone audio exposure via Apple Health, and shows your daily exposure as a percentage of WHO safe-listening guidelines. Review peak, average, and loud-minute statistics to build a complete picture of your hearing dose over time. HEARING TRAINING Strengthen your listening skills with focused auditory exercises. Four training types cover frequency discrimination ("Which tone is higher?"), volume discrimination ("Which tone is louder?"), tone identification (identify frequency ranges), and gap detection (spot brief silences). Three difficulty levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) unlock 12 training stages as you progress. DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY Your hearing test results, audiograms, and noise exposure data stay on your device. Microphone audio is never recorded or uploaded. No accounts are required to get started.
