SonicCloud, from Sonitum, treats the hearing test as the first step toward better listening. You take the assessment on your phone, the app analyzes the result and builds a sound profile, and then you can listen to radio stations and podcasts processed to suit your hearing. You can refine the profile in real time to target hard-to-hear syllables, which SonicCloud says helps even people with significant hearing loss. HealthKit support works both ways: import an audiogram from the Health app, including one from another test or your audiologist, or export SonicCloud's results. The assessment and results are free, as is personalized sound for 30 days; after that, the US App Store lists a subscription of $9.99 per month. That makes SonicCloud a good value if you will use the listening features, and an unnecessary one if you only want a screening. It runs on iPhone only and holds a 4.6 average from about 1,200 ratings.
