Audicus Hearing Test

I have profound hearing loss. Yesterday I woke up with even more of my hearing gone. Called my otolaryngologist’s office just now and they encouraged me to take the test and contact them again with the results. I am thinking this will give them a good measurement to determine if I should drive the two hours to their office. Glad I had this Audicus test for a starting point for my conversation with my doctor. Second day I used it since being on Prednisone. Gave me some objective numbers to back up my subjective observations. If there are inaccuracies I would say first day I wasn’t use to the app. On the second day any inaccuracies probably due to my inexperience with the headphones. But I still contend it is a rather accurate app. Third day of use. I feel my hearing is worse than it is evaluating it, especially in the left ear. Will keep using it and emailing results to my doctor b/c the only objective app I have found. Thank you

The app is simple to use; for it's user interface, it's a 5* product. You must understandably have earphones. The test is simple enough, just like the test at an ENT. Here's the problem - it is extraordinarily sensitive to sound. Its degree of sensitivity is so high that it borders insanity. In my room at the backend of the house, with no fan, no running electronics, and no noise, the system repeatedly indicated that I need to move to a quieter area. I had to sit in my car at night with the doors closed and the car off to take the test, and even then it periodically interrupted the test to tell me to move to a quieter area. I would then have to just sit there and wait for the system to realize there is no noise, then click dismiss, and continue the test. Unless you live 100 ft down in an underground bunker with 20 ft of noise canceling insulation, then this app is ridiculous. I don't recommend it at all.

The app was easy to use, even for a baby boomer like me who didn't grow up with an iPad in hand. Just tap when you hear the sound - easy enough! I am happily disappointed to have my fears of hearing loss confirmed. This app gave me the same results that I saw when I went to the doc a couple years back. I am going to make my hubby take this test next and hopefully admit to his own hearing loss. Maybe we can get matching hearing aids with hearts on them. Tell your friends to use this app if you want to prove that they have hearing loss too!

In early April I had a horrible double ear infection and thanks to being uninsured I wasn't able to get to the doctor for several days. I definitely ruptured my right ear drum and most likely my left as well. I had a lot of fluid and a significant hearing loss. I decided to download this app to see where I was at when it was at its worst and now a month later my hearing is fully restored and I can see (and hear) the difference in measurable data. Very nice to have a free app with this kind of access.

This is the best hearing test on the App Store. Works perfectly fine without flaws except one is they should allow you to be able to see your results without having to have headphones in. Headphones should just have to be plugged in when taking the test. But not to view the results. But besides that it's a flaw list app for hearing test. Would recommend it to anybody.
