Petralex Hearing Test: Live Audiogram review

Most of the stronger tests on this list are iPhone apps, which makes the Petralex Hearing Test a useful option for Android. It checks your hearing with 8 tone signals from 125 Hz to 8000 Hz and presents the result as a graph with a text description. You can compare a test with your earlier ones, with the norm for your age or with another person's result, and email results to a doctor. It supports wired and Bluetooth headphones, including AirPods, Beats, Bose and Samsung models. The main reason to choose it is the link to Petralex, the same developer's sound amplifier app: results export straight into Petralex for automatic adjustment. The listing also adds live listen and super hearing amplification, which some people will find useful and others will find distracting in a test app. It holds a 4.4 average from about 7,200 reviews and 100K+ downloads. Google Play did not show us a USD price, so pricing is pending.
