HD Hearing Test
Available for free on iOS and Android, you can map your full-spectrum hearing profile in just 8 minutes using your own earbuds or headphones. For the best results, use an approved, calibrated device. The test detects your hearing threshold at 37 frequencies between 125Hz and 20kHz.
Your results offer valuable insights into your hearing and are designed to optimize your listening experience with ARIA Studio, our High-Resolution Sound Personalization software.
Early access limited to our public betas for now.
Coming in Q4 2024.
Test Results
HD Hearing Test results are plotted differently from the common audiogram, which utilizes derived dB Hearing Level units. We report primarily in decibels to maintain consistency with the requirements of our hearing refinement signal processing software.
Please bear in mind that although there is a relationship between our reported results and dB HL units, additional correction factors would be necessary for each testing point to facilitate this translation. We intend to report in dB HL units in the future as well.
When you start a hearing test, your progress is saved, allowing you to pause and return anytime. Upon completion or early conclusion, you'll receive interactive graphical displays of your results in-app. You can email a detailed PDF report, along with tabulated results, to yourself. These detailed results are necessary for use with ARIA Studio. Your results remain available in the app until deleted.
Your results are best utilized with sound personalization software, such as ARIA Studio. Simply sign into ARIA Studio on desktop, and your results will populate the software.
Viewing your results, saving them for future review, and discussing them with others
are also probable uses.
Limitations
The HD Hearing Test is designed to deliver test stimuli to your ear at a known intensity, up to the maximum output of the earbud or headphone in use. This is how the test determines your hearing threshold. At higher frequencies, our hearing threshold is much higher, which means these tones must be played loudly to be heard. For some hearables, this may mean that we are only able to increase the volume by 10 dB before reaching the device's maximum output, a very small range. Results should be viewed in this context, as not hearing a tone during testing does not equate to being unable to hear at that frequency.
