EarCheck: Hearing Age Game for iPhone

Overview

What it is, in plain words.

EarCheck: Hearing Age Game plays tones from low to very high pitch, and you tap when you hear them. At the end it guesses your hearing age, the age group that typically reports hearing the highest tone you caught. It is a short game for fun, with a no-cheat mode and a shareable PDF score, and it is not a medical test.

What is it?

EarCheck: Hearing Age Game is a three-minute sound challenge that estimates a fun hearing age from the highest tone you can hear.

What problem does it solve?

Most people are curious how their hearing compares with their friends or their age group, but a clinical test is overkill for curiosity. EarCheck turns the question into a quick game you can play and share, while clearly saying it cannot measure your hearing health.
