Quick and Simple Hearing Evaluation

Get it on F-Droid

This app can evaluate your hearing capabilities. The term dB HL describes your hearing loss in decibels.

The table below shows a common way to classify hearing loss (Source: Clark, J. G. (1981). Uses and abuses of hearing loss classification. Asha, 23, 493–500.)

Degree of hearing loss Hearing loss range (dB HL)
Normal –10 to 15
Slight 16 to 25
Mild 26 to 40
Moderate 41 to 55
Moderately severe 56 to 70
Severe 71 to 90
Profound 91+

First your earphones must be calibrated.

Important: Earphones must not have integrated volume control or loudness, equalizers, etc.

You can either perform a full test which requires one or better several persons between the ages of 18 and 35 with normal hearing. Or you can perform a simple calibration at 1000Hz only (assuming good hearing at this frequency). In this case it is assumed that the earphones are linear across the frequency range and calibration values for the other frequencies are then calculated using the ISO226:2003 standard. Whenever you hear a beep simply touch the screen. You can pause / continue with a long click and speed up with a double click. If you have several persons available for calibration simply press "Add Calibration" and an average value of existing calibrations will be calculated. You may also delete the whole calibration.

After that you can perform tests and view them in test results.

You can then also perform tests at single frequencies. There you can manually select ear, frequency, and sound amplitude by clicking on the buttons.

Backup/restore is also available.
