This app from independent developer Yuichi Sakashita does two jobs. The main hearing test measures your hearing from 125 Hz to 8000 Hz and shows the results in a simple graph, a slightly wider tone range than Apple's 250 Hz starting point. The Ear Age Test plays tones up to 20,000 Hz, the so-called mosquito tones that mostly younger people can hear, and estimates an ear age from how high you can go. That second test is a light way to see whether high frequencies, usually the first to fade, have started to drop. The app is free with an optional Premium upgrade for $2.99 on the US App Store, and the listing notes that it contains advertising. It has been updated recently and holds a 4.6 average from about 260 ratings. It publishes less detail on calibration than Mimi or Apple, and it does not describe Apple Health sync, so it is better for a quick look than for long-term tracking.
