Home Hearing Test
Access to a simple, accurate, reliable method of
testing hearing outside the medical or commercial
environment does not currently exist. Several types
of self-administered hearing tests are available via
telephone, smartphone app and various commercial
and non-profit Internet sites.
The primary limitation of other tests is they do not use
calibrated equipment and there is no control over test
stimuli. Results are likely to be inaccurate.
Unlike questionnaires and other screening tests
available in various forms, the Home Hearing Test
is the same type of test administered by hearing
professionals. The Home Hearing Test determines when
hearing should be checked by a licensed hearing
professional, but does not identify the cause of hearing
loss or determine what the treatment should be.
The goal of the Home Hearing Test is to provide
accurate information to consumers so they can take
steps toward better hearing wellness.
