Interesting & thorough!

I downloaded the app just because I was curious as to whether I had any real hearing loss yet, I’m a 29 y.o. female and I am always having to ask people to repeat themselves or back up shows so I can hear what they said again. Shockingly this app came out stating I don’t have any hearing loss yet but it did mention that my hearing is worse than about 87% of my age group so I thought that was a good take away and set notifications on my iPhone offered in the hearing section (I think under general>accessibility) so that I can take preventative steps going forward—especially since I love listening to music and loud, bass-bumping music at that. Love the app and that I didn’t have to pay or even create a user account (no email required) before taking the actual test! 5 stars!!

I did the test twice out of curiosity. I have known hearing loss and tinnitus, a unfortunate family inheritance, and have been wearing hearing aids full time for about 12 years. I did one test with on the ear headphones, another with wired Apple earbuds. Not exactly the same, but the outcome was the same and consistent enough with results of professional hearing tests that I can recommend this app for screening purposes. Since unaided hearing loss is a factor in some many areas, including social isolation, loss of the ability to distinguish words, and even dementia, I recommend that anyone suspecting hearing loss follow up. Addressing the problem is far better than suffering and the level of daily energy it takes to function when you do not hear well. Modern hearing aids are marvels of technology and improve all the time. My only issue was understanding the very clear instructions on “the button”, holding while hearing a sound and releasing when it stops, and the portrait only orientation on the ipad. My phone does not have a 3.5 connector, so had to use the ipad. Linking to Apple Health had to be done on the phone, and required an account with Mimi, but eventually I was able to link it, and see the results in Health.

Does it work at all?

[UPDATE: Another reviewer found a workaround. I deleted my hearing ID (there’s a “x Delete Hearing ID” label to tap in the app), and it started to work again. I’ve upped my rating by 1 star, though I’m not sure it’s deserved — that’s a pretty bad bug, and a non-obvious & data-destroying workaround.]I had tried it some months ago on non-calibrated headphones, and now that I have AirPods Pro, I was curious to try it again. It didn’t recognize the AirPods, so I chose the non-calibrated option. After going all the way through the test, the app tells me something went wrong. Just “something.” No useful error message. It asks if I’m connected to the Internet. Yes. Yes I am. I’ve tried several times, always with the same result. I deleted the app and re-installed it, but that didn’t change anything. Update: The new version 5.3.0, according to the release notes, “significantly reduced the probability of an unexpected error.” Well, maybe, but it’s still a frustrating and useless app for me. It still doesn’t see my AirPods Pro as being calibrated, even though the app description explicitly lists that exact model. Worse, after going through the whole test, I still get that vague “something went wrong“ message, and no results.

Seems accurate, but says I have no hearing loss?

I wanted to have my audiogram data input into my Health app so I downloaded this test. I used Samsung Galaxy Buds to conduct the hearing test even though it is not one of the calibrated earbuds, as I do not have AirPods. I had to go into my settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual and toggle Balance to completely Left or completely Right depending on which ear was being tested, otherwise I’d hear it in both earbuds no matter which ear was being tested. I compared the results to my professional audiogram I had done recently, and the results are quite similar considering this is a mobile app hearing test that took 5 minutes. HOWEVER, the app concluded that I had no hearing loss, even though my right ear rated at 3 dBHL and is known to have severe hearing loss according to the audiogram I had done at the doctor’s. I’m not sure what criteria Mimi is using here, but I consider myself to have hearing loss even though my left ear hears “normally.” I’m surprised at how accurate a mobile app can be, but I am confused at the conclusions the test presents for those of us with unilateral hearing loss.
