How the eargym app works

Hearing Tests

Study-based tests for your hearing

eargym features a set of study-based hearing tests to check hearing abilities and overall well-being, as hearing comprehension is directly correlated with cognitive performance: a SIN test for hearing in noise, an ear age test, Lubben's social life engagement test, and the Amsterdam Inventory for Auditory Disability and Handicap.
