We are still developing and we need your help
We are excited to share our app with you, but we are still in the early stages of development. Our methods have not yet undergone rigorous scientific testing yet, and our app is not intended to replace traditional audiologists or professional hearing assessments. With your help, we can make it a valuable tool for monitoring hearing health at home.
Early Development Phase
NOT A REPLACEMENT for Traditional Methods
