About hearing loss assessment
The assessment of the state of hearing is carried out according to the WHO standard: only the speech range is taken into account, from 250Hz to 4000Hz max to detect hearing loss.
In fact, what matters is how a person hears in the entire audible range from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
Hearing impairment, bad hearing is not only a reason for hearing loss, but also the cause of tinnitus (noise, squeak, ringing in the ears), autophony, hyperacusis, problems with the vestibular apparatus and more.
This test was created in order to not only test your hearing abilities. And, first of all, to track objective progress with hearing. As a general rule, home hearing measurements are no less accurate than those taken by a doctor.
