Quick and simple hearing evaluation
About this app
This app can evaluate your hearing capabilities.
The term dB HL describes your hearing loss in decibels.
The table below shows a common way to classify hearing loss (Source: Clark, J. G. (1981). Uses and abuses of hearing loss classification. Asha, 23, 493–500.)
Degree of hearing loss: dB HL range Normal: –10 to 15 Slight: 16 to 25 Mild: 26 to 40 Moderate: 41 to 55 Moderately severe: 56 to 70 Severe: 71 to 90 Profound: 91+
First your earphones must be calibrated. You can either perform a full test which requires one or better several persons between the ages of 18 and 35 with normal hearing. Or you can perform a simple calibration at 1000Hz only (assuming good hearing at this frequency). In this case it is assumed that the earphones are linear across the frequency range and calibration values for the other frequencies are then calculated using the ISO226:2003 standard. Whenever you hear a beep simply touch the screen. You can pause / continue with a long click and speed up with a double click. If you have several persons available for calibration simply press "Add Calibration" and an average value of existing calibrations will be calculated. You may also delete the whole calibration.
After that you can perform tests and view them in test results.
You can then also perform tests at single frequencies. There you can manually select ear, frequency, and sound amplitude by clicking on the buttons.

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)
Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager
Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be org.woheller69.audiometry is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 2.1 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall hEARtest first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of hEARtest, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
