Hearing Test Pro for Android
Great little app. Would rate 5 starts, but for issues with custom HF testing: if you can't hear the tone the first time the tone is presented, and press 'can't hear' you get a loud hissing noise until you press 'can hear'. Need to allow tone to get louder for HF (>10KHz) testing. V1.1.3 on Galaxy A3 (2017). Other than that - love it.
It was as accurate as the test done at hospital. What would be great is to have a blind test, one that I don't see the end result until I go through all the frequencies, so that I won't be biased.
Imperfect, but a lifesaver for monitoring your hearing with reasonable accuracy. Stick it to the useless and greedy medical industrial complex.
Can't get it to print or email result...Must be possible!
Easy to use and works well
It took about halfway through my second test to realize that fine tuning your answer based on the can/can not hear as volume up/down buttons, and only use the barely auditable button once you know for sure you can't hear beyond it. Use headphones in silent room. Close your eyes when you reach the top of the chart, toggle the Can/Can Not hear buttons to fine tune your decision, hit Barely Aud to answer and move on.

Good, worth the price.
The UI is simple and well designed, the results are as precise as possible given the hardware. One thing I'd love to see though would be finer frequency steps, even if this goes beyond what an otologist usually does.
It's a fantastic and promising start in the android platform. There is a great potential ahead so keep up!

This accurately showed the hearing loss I was experiencing and an audiology test at a hospital confirmed the exact same loss. Very good for comparisons but ultimately when working with a phone won't be as good as a hospital test. It would be better if it could be calibrated with some other way than the "a person of normal hearing" method - who is to say someone's hearing is more normal than anyone elses?
