The Hearing Test was created by audiology experts at Siemens to help you determine whether you have hearing impairment. This revolutionary application has been scientifically developed and carefully tested to ensure the most precise results possible. In addition, the test is completely independent of language, so you can use it reliably no matter what language you’re most comfortable with.
How the test works The Siemens Hearing Test examines how well you can detect words in background noise. This is based on the knowledge that individuals with hearing loss have greater difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, such as restaurants or subway stations.
During the test, you will hear nonsense words in a fluctuating background noise. Your task is to select the word you heard from several options displayed on your screen. Depending on your answers, the background noise will be adjusted. Unlike similar hearing tests, the volume setting is not crucial.
The test consists of nine test items per ear and determines how well you can understand speech in background noise. By comparing your results with the average score for normal listeners, the program might help you determine whether you have hearing impairment. However the results of the Siemens hearing test are not to be utilized as an official outcome for assessing levels of hearing loss. True hearing loss assessments can only be determined by a licensed hearing healthcare provider.

Wirklich sehr hilfreich! Auf Grundlage dieser Hörtest-App, habe ich einen HNO-Facharzt und Hörgeräte-Akustiker von Amplifon aufgesucht. Nach kostenloser achtwöchiger Testphase, mit verschiedenen Hörgeräten, habe ich mich zuletzt für ein erstklassiges Hörgerät von Signia entschieden. Danke!
Gute Möglichkeit für Gehörprüfung

I don't know what the developers were thinking with this update. The headphone recognition does not work at all. When using the app with headphones the app won’t play the sounds through them but only through the phone speakers. Very buggy!!
Volume far too low
I have tinnitus (not a general hearing loss) and could barely hear the sound with a headset and quiet environment. Other hearing tests using the same equipment have adequate volume. This is a rigged test in my opinion.
Could not get the app to work as advertised
Was told by a medical insurance provider that they would contact me by phone at a later date and instruct me on using the Signia app for taking a virtual hearing test at home. Wanting to be prepared I downloaded the app to an iPad Pro. Then finding a quiet spot I proceeded to take the short test to become familiar with it. Using my AirPod Pro earbuds I started the test. If there are instructions for taking the test, I couldn’t find them. All I heard was crude static coming out of my iPad speaker. Checking my settings to see if I was in fact “connected” to my AirPods . . they were. I tried again and heard only static coming out of my speaker with a VERY FAINT abstract syllable in the cacophony. I tried a different Bluetooth headset . . . Same negative result. I tried loading the app to my phone, with the same negative findings. I tried taking the Long Test . . Zip, zero. When my phone call comes I will recommend several of the other hearing apps that all worked as advertised and received 4+, or greater rating. Total waste of time . . at least it was free.
App is functional
Somebody gave it a one star because they heard staticAnd a faint sound. That’s exactly what they were supposed to here but earbuds are not headphones. User error.

Requires earphone
Could not use the test. It won’t work without earphones.
Better than I thought
This hearing test was surprisingly quite accurate, which is more than can be said about Specsavers Hearing Test app.
It even said I have slightly greater loss in left ear.
Good
It's a good app. 👍
Good
It's a good app. 👍
Non repeatable and confusing
I ran the test several times with different results each time. Sometimes it said both ears were ok, other times both ears were impaired, and other times one ear was ok and the other wasn't and vice versa. The graphs showing the results aren't explained and don't make any sense. Even when I got most tests correct, I got a low score.
Poor
The words test something other than a specific frequency. Do alone seems to be the criteria, except they use words that require many frequencies. No idea what good this is. It certainly does not help me.
Non-English speaking = hearing impaired !!
You must be very good at English pronunciation while you'll read the biggest joke in the description that, "In addition, the test is completely independent of language."
New version is terrible!
I don't know what the developers were thinking with this update. It's like they went backwards. The buttons are awkward and no longer are active until the sound completely stops and they highlight. It's glitchy at best. Whoever programmed this new version didn't even space the buttons properly. They definitely took it back to the stone age.
Awesome app
Terrific app. If ally convinced a stubborn relative he may have hearing loss after every family member but him passed this test. Don't know what past reviewers are saying about no background noise. It's definitely there!
挺好
如题
Horrível
Um app que realiza um teste auditivo é uma ótima ideia, entretanto este se tornou algo ridículo e sem sentido (principalmente pelo fato de você mesmo escolher o volume)...
Not accurate.
Took it twice and got a different result each time. I think you need to crank up the volume, but I don't like it loud. If there was some way to standardize the headphone level and then test that would work better. I don't feel like this app provides any meaningful gauge of hearing proficiency. One star!
Avoid!
This really is rubbish and I can't believe Siemens have released it. One of the crucial things with a hearing test is to establish a baseline hearing level. 'Comfortable level' isn't a suitable way of doing that. The final evaluation seems to hinge on whether you can distinguish 'assa' from 'asha' and that's simply not good enough. Apple, please remove it from the App Store.
Not scientific
Says: turn volume to comfortable level. I had to crank it so I could hear. Scored perfectly! They should say turn it to 50% so it's scientifically accurate. Deleting off phone to save room.
Just noise
It was all static, with a word whispered at the end. I guess they are still working out the bugs.
Original e útil
Vale como uma ótima triagem auditiva. O teste foi padronizado e validado. Podem usá-lo com toda a família.
Schlecht
Die Lautstärke frei wählbar ??? Irgendwie Unsinn für einen hörtest
Mein Ergebnis war gut aber wenn das Hintergrundgeräusch so viel lauter ist als das prüfwort hat es mehr mit Raten zu tun.
Er I don't think so!
I could literally hear every single component very clearly and it told me I had a hearing problem in my right ear. So I tried again thinking it must be a blip and it told me it was the left ear. They seem to be trying to get you to a healthcare professional in the interest of getting some of your money. Used twice then deleted.
Kein Setup?
Sollte man bei einem Hörtest nicht erstmal sowas wie die Lautstärke Einstellen? Passiert hier nicht, deswegen halte ich die Ergebnisse für nicht aussagekräftig.
It is a bad app
It just is so bad!!!!!
Inaccurate
I don't have a hearing loss that requires any action, yet this app shows me below average and suggests otherwise. I suspect that there are too many variables, especially headphone quality that an uncalibrated setup like this cannot account for. The most telltale "feature" of this app was that a large portion is dedicated to putting you in contact with people selling hearing aids. This always leaves me wondering if the real motive is sales or accuracy.
I don't understand the test results.
I don't understand the test results. I got more correct answers in my right here than my left ear, yet it said that I have a possible hearing loss in my right ear.
No background noise
There is no background noise.
geht gar nicht
Hab einen Hörsturz und bin links fast taub, Test sagt leicht Einschränkung.
Ne nicht so
App sagt: Schlechtes Gehör
Arzt sagt: Extrem überdurchschnittliches Gehör...
Naja...
Interessante
Lo trovo intelligente ed utile bravi
Sono sorda!!!
Non ho capito niente.. Non ci sento!! Mi faro' vedere.. L'ho ripetuto tre volte ma il risultato non cambia.. Se e' così e' utile!!
Crasha
Come lo apri.. L'ho anche reinstallato ma niente
Buona applicazione
Mi sembra che faccia cosa dice, per un esame di base indicativo pare essere una buona soluzione.
Poco attendibile
Ci sono app migliori
实际用处不大
结论千篇一律
够无聊的
不知道干嘛用的,浪费时间
效果一般
测试功能太一般,没啥特色,
真无聊的软件
目的就是卖广告。无聊死了。测你听力有没有问题的。
连续测试几遍耳朵痛
连续测试几遍耳朵痛,可能对听力有损害,千万别给孩子用有高频噪声。
Mist
Es gibt keine ordentliche Auswertung.
Gehe und kaufe ein S..... Hörgerät.
Lang aber genau
Es dauert zwar ein bisschen bis man sich durch alle Teststufen durchgeklickt hat, aber der Tets funktioniert tatsächlich sehr gut. Ich weiß, dass ich ein leichte Hörminderung habe und der Test hat das bestätigt.
Keine ordentliche Auswertung
Nicht zu gebrauchen da kein echtes Ergebnis. Hatte während des Tests die Vermutung beim linken Ohr schlecht abgeschnitten zu haben beim rechten gut. In der Auswertung steht nur:
Auf dem linken Ohr liegt KEINE hörschwäche vor. Bitte wenden sie sich an einen Hörgeräte Akustiker. ???
Soll das jetzt heißen das ich rechts schlecht höre oder steht das mi dem Akustiker immer da?
Von daher totaler Mist bin auch nicht schlauer .
Guter Test, schlechte Auswertung
Der Test selbst ist gut, nur die Auswertung könnte besser sein. Beispielsweise wäre es interessant zu erfahren, wie groß die Abweichung, wenn vorhanden, ungefähr ist. Klar, letztendlich geht es nur darum, ein Siemens-Hörgerät zu verkaufen.
Naja...
Auf jeden Fall gibt es bessere Apps, die einem eine Auswertung pro Ohr geben und allgemein mehr zu bieten haben.
Test gut - Auswertung nicht
Der Test selbst ist gut, aber die Auswertung nicht zu gebrauchen !
Funktioniert echt gut
Hab meinem Opa den Hörtest machen lassen. Kam ganz gut an. Hat seine Schwerhörigkeit bestätigt.
Habe den Test dann auch zum Spaß an einen Freund weitergleitet. Der fand's nicht so lustig :-)
Ganz gut gemacht, aber die Auswertung ist dürftig
Der Test vermittelt schon den Eindruck, als könne er Hörprobleme aufzeigen und den Anstoss geben, sich einmal bei einem Arzt durchtesten zu lassen. Allerdings ist die Auswertung am Ende doch etwas dürftig. Daher nur 3 Sterne
Passt!
Hält was es verspricht! Läuft stabil sieht gut aus. Eine richtige Auswertung darf ein App gar niht geben, da es kein Arzt ist!
Klasse Test
Ich finde den Test sehr gelungen und super vom Aufbau und der Logik. Zum Glück habe ich alles richtig verstanden;)
Stürzt ständig ab, keine richtige Anwendung
.
Funktioniert nicht
Stürzt bei mir beim iPhone 4S mit ios 5 beim starten des Tests sofort ab
Stürzt beim Start des Tests ab
iOS 5 iPhone 4
Schrott
Stürzt ab:-(
Schlecht
Stürzt sofort nach dem starten ab!!!
Schrott
Weniger als 1 Stern kann man nicht geben... Funktioniert nicht
Totaler nap
Die app ist absoluter Mist sie liefert noch nicht mal nen Richtwert! Laut app höre ich besser als normal tatsächlich habe ich 30% gdb!
Absturz bei Einsicht der Ergebnisse
Idee der App. ist gut. Ergebnisse für 2 Menschen gespeichert. Wenn ich diese dann ansehen will, hängt App sich auf. Fenster zur Auswahl der Personen lässt sich nicht mehr schliessen. Habe iOS5.
Siemens Höhrtest
Es scheint eine App zu sein, die Unsicherheit erzeugen soll und zum Aufsuchen eines Höhrgeräteakustkers annimiert. Selbst als gut Höhrender verstehe ich teilweise nur "Bahnhof". Unbrauchbar, keine Installationsempfehlung.
Plausibler Test
Aufgrund der schlechten Bewertung haben meine Frau und ich (beide 27) den Test gemacht und sehr gute Ergebnisse erzielt. Evtl. nicht die App verdammen, sondern vielleicht doch das eigene Gehör durchchecken.
witzig
laut dem test höre ich auf beiden ohren normal. schön wärs ja, dabei hab ich eine nicht gerade leichte hochtonschwerhörigkeit. der test reicht höchstens um eine einschätzung zum sprachverstehen zu geben. mehr aber auch nicht
Simples e efetivo
Ótimo pra testar a audição de quem tem duvidas se escuta bem ou nao. Recomendo ter no seu aparelho!
Inútil
O resultado depende do volume que vc mesmo seleciona sem nenhum critério... Perda de tempo, nao serve para nada.
Informação
O desenvolvedor não fornece informações corretas quanto as avaliações audiológicas precisas, que só poderão ser realizadas por um fonoaudiólogo*
Acho importante deixar isso bem claro!
Ing
great app alot!! Lol apple ot
Nah
Wasn't keen.
Great idea
App tells me I'm good haha
Mr
Crap!
Just a sales gimmick to get you to go to their store.
No stats or graph results. Just very minimal "may have a problem visit our store". All the family had the same type of message. App crap. Come on apple filter this calorie free junk out !
Fake gimmick
Absolutely fake no clinical relevance as an audiologist I can truely say this is rubbish gimmick. Waste of time zero
Crap!
A thinly veiled attempt to channel anyone who uses it to their stores. Pathetic. At least try and tell me that I have hearing loss in lower/upper frequencies etc! Idiots.
Rubbish app!!
Thank god Siemens hearing aids actually help people unlike this app.
Crashes
Can't even start the test it just crashes instantly
Fatally bugged
Like others, I found this simply won't run on my iPhone. The second the audio stream for the test starts the app crahes
Yes It Crashes on starting the Audio Test
Have emailed Siemens..
Dubious
So first time it thinks I have hearing loss in my right ear, second time it's my left ear and third time it's neither ear!! I've got no faith in this test. Might work if you're very deaf but then you'd probably know...
Ok
Worth a try since it's free. However it doesn't give you a score, it just tells you if it suspects hearing loss or not.
Crashing
Soon as I start the test the App crashes, everything else in the app works fine.
crash
as reported by others who have tried this app, the app crashes when the sound test is launched. using ipad 2 w. ios5.
Not useful at all
This is only a sales tool and a bad one at that. Give us an indication of what you think might be wrong. Don't just try to sell us your hearing aids. What is my problem, high freq, low or what. Give use something so we can use it to measure ongoing performance, am I getting better or worse.
Usless
It doesn't give results. A waste of time
Does not work
The app is buggy. Tested 2 ears but no result. Bringing back to main page.
Absolute garbage
Very vague. No useful information. Just a weak sales pitch. Got much better results from uHear. It's free too.
Informative
The information about hearing loss is very helpful
No noise no beep
Test is not as described--there is no background noise, and there is no beep before each word as instructions say. I have normal hearing, and I ran the test a few times in a totally quiet environment. I heard the words clearly but only the words. Good quality otherwise, but this app isn't working the way the developers want it to. Please fix and I will re-rate.
Hearing center locator is nice
Easy to use. Easy to understand results. Locator of hearing center was nice.
Did what I needed it to do
I was wondering if I was losing my hearing by not being able to understand people in my noisy environment at work. Thanks, now I know I am good.
Crash.
It crashes as soon as I hit the start button. I tried it on both my iPhone and my iPad.
Hearing Test
Crashed. Won't complete tests. Tried deleting app and reinstalling. Same crash.
Siemens Hearing Test
As a physicist, acoustician and hearing scientist, I have respected Siemens as a company. I was shocked to find that this application would not run on my iPod Touch. The application would open, It looked as though it would be interesting. However each time after pressing start, the application would crash and burn. Too bad. Siemens has lost a few notches in my esteem for releasing a poorly tested program.
Crashes
Crashes when I hit start, tried loading twice on ipad2
Siemens
Don't think I will buy from them. Just like the others, crashes once the test starts.
Crashes instantly
Can't use the program. It crashes before the test is run.
Crashes when testing
Crashes within seconds of starting a test.
Crash and Burn
I was very interested but it just crashed on my iOS 5 iPhone 4
Crash
To bad... I was really looking forward to using this app...
No beep no noise
I hear the words clearly but there was no background noise or beep to listen for.
Does Not Work.
Plain and simple.
No "background noise" or beeps heard during the test. Only the "nonsense words". On an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.
Also, it would be helpful to have a tune or sound playing before the test, to help the user adjust the volume appropriately.
Works fine.
I don't know how accurate this test is but it seems to work just fine. No crashes and heard all the background noise, nonsense words and beeps. I like this test because you can't cheat.
Wasted time
Such a waste of time, no background sounds. You hear the words easily with no strain to actually test
Nice test!
Worked flawlessly on iPad 3. Great test that aims user at picking out human voice frequencies in noisy environments. The varying white noise background is a good frequency sweep to test against.
Total nonesense
I have severe hearing loss low pitch on right ear and this test shows all is OK-total bogus....use UHear instead,much better
No noise.
This is a great app, but I only hear a beep and some radiostatic. I could hear the ward, but one word was too hard to understand.
