Home Audiometer

Home Audiometer is a software application that you can use to test your hearing via standard sound card devices and when wearing headphones. It comes packed with a few advanced configurable properties dedicated to experienced users.

The installation operation does not take a long time to finish, nor does it need special attention. As for the interface, Home Audiometer opts for a regular window with a classical structure that shows the audiogram and lets you fill information when it comes to your first and last name, organization, reference number, date of birth, and comment.

However, you can get started by fiddling with options when it comes to the sound output device, corresponding volume settings driver, resolution and test response button (CTRL key or joystick).

What's more, you can customize parameters when it comes to the file handling (e.g. suggested file name), graph (e.g. colors, tone level traces display), calibration (e.g. reload default calibration file at startup), together with the test procedure (e.g. signal and gap duration, level step, initial level, trial run).

Home Audiometer also lets you perform a new calibration by ear, save the calibration data to file and import it later, as well as test the hardware compatibility.

No error dialogs popped up in our tests, and the program did not hang or crash. It is very responsive to commands and leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, thanks to the fact that it runs on low CPU and RAM.

On the other hand, Home Audiometer is not that intuitive for less experienced users. On the bright side, it comes bundled with advanced techniques for effectively testing hearing with just the help of the computer. It should please many users.
