Test 1 · Speech in Quiet
Conductive hearing loss
Supports system calibration, and identification of middle and outer ear issues — often caused by fluid build-up, infections, or structural problems.
Hearing Screening
The Sound Scouts app
From hearing screening to targeted auditory processing assessment and training, Sound Scouts provides evidence-based tools that support early identification, informed intervention and ongoing management.
Available on iOS, Android, and Windows.
Triple Factor Hearing Screener
One test, three potential hearing issues
The Triple Factor Hearing Screener runs three interleaved, adaptive tests: speech in quiet, tone in noise and speech in noise. Individuals respond to the listening tasks and on completion receive a pass, borderline, or refer result. Testing takes less than 15 minutes and can be supported by any responsible adult, ideally with good hearing.
Test 2 · Tone in Noise
Sensorineural hearing loss
Supports identification of inner ear or auditory nerve issues — responsible for permanent hearing loss.
Test 3 · Speech in noise
Difficulty understanding speech in noise
Difficulty processing speech against background noise — may indicate an auditory processing issue warranting further assessment.
Automatic Audiometer
Pure-tone audiometry, accessed through the app
The Automatic Audiometer delivers a pure-tone test. The Standard setting provides a four frequency tone test with results displayed in an audiogram. The Advanced setting offers clinicians additional frequencies and controls.
500 Hz
Low frequency
Important for vowel sounds and speech fundamentals.
1000 Hz
Mid frequency
Central to speech intelligibility.
2000 Hz
Upper-mid frequency
Critical for consonant recognition.
4000 Hz
High frequency
May be an early indicator of noise-induced hearing loss.
Requirements
An important medical test with specific requirements
The Standard Screening setting defaults to 20 dB HL across the standard four frequencies. The Advanced setting features threshold-finding mode (−10 to 100 dB HL) and an extended frequency set available to hearing health professionals requiring a more comprehensive audiometric evaluation. The Automatic Audiometer requires approved over-ear headphones (such as the Sennheiser HD 300 or HD 400S) and an Apple touchscreen device. Results are accessible and downloadable via SSIMPL.
