The Sennheiser Hearing Test, published by Sonova Consumer Hearing, is built to be calm. You answer a few questions, then turn an on-screen wheel while you listen, rather than racing to tap when a tone plays, and the assessment takes less than five minutes. Sennheiser says it works with any pair of headphones regardless of brand, which makes it a good fit if you do not own one of the models Mimi lists. After the test you can learn about your assessed hearing, compare it and read general material about hearing. Registering unlocks the useful extras: a history of your assessments, reminders when it is time to test again, and syncing results with Apple Health. The app is free with no in-app purchases listed on the US App Store. Its last update was in February 2025, and Sennheiser publishes less detail about the test method than Apple or Mimi. As with every app here, it is not a substitute for a professional test.
