You should consult with a health care provider for questions related to your hearing or if you are experiencing any of the following: ear pain or ringing, dizziness, ear drainage or a sense of something in your ear, sudden or fluctuating hearing loss, injury or deformity to your ear, or worse hearing in one ear (i.e., your right and left Hearing Numbers are different by more than 10 dB).
How’s your hearing? Learn your Hearing Numbers—the softest sound you can hear in each ear—with an app created by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Re-check your Hearing Numbers from time to time and review previous results to track how your hearing changes over time.
The higher your Hearing Numbers are, the louder sounds will need to be for you to hear them, and the harder it will be to hear and communicate in noisy places.
The app tests the noise level around you, measures your hearing levels at four frequencies in each ear, and provides your Hearing Numbers.
