Free Hearing Test

Our hearing is tested on a day to day basis, as living in an environment free of background noises is virtually impossible. In time, this can reduce our ability to accurately perceive sounds and regularly performing audio tests ensures the situation is kept under control. Free Hearing Test allows its users to conduct basic hearing tests by playing back sounds of varying frequency and amplitude settings.

The tool is highly easy to use and even newcomers will be able to run tests with just a few mouse clicks. One can run tests using the entire range of frequencies (20 Hz to 20,000 Hz) for individual or both ears.

Two intuitive slide bars allow users to control the frequency and amplitude parameters employed and stepwise buttons can be used to fine-tune the frequency. Once a sound is played, users must press the “Audible” button as soon as they hear it; alternatively, if nothing is heard, the “Inaudible” control should be used.

The program automatically records the results and a chart is also generated in real-time. The 'amplitude by frequency' graphic is a simple representation of the test readings and users can choose if individual ear results are drawn or not.

An automated test that shuffles sounds is also available and users can customize the playback speed for improved results. Once satisfied with their analyses, users can export textual results to CSV files and graphic audiograms to PNG documents.

In conclusion, Free Hearing Test is a practical solution for anyone who wants to test his hearing. The application can target individual ears and users have complete freedom over the physical parameters of the output sounds.
