The Sound Scouts hearing test app provides hearing test activities to identify potential hearing problems. The design of the app promotes engagement for children aged 4 years or older. A series of checklist questions prompting the user on whether a hearing test may be needed is available to all app users.
When hearing activities are completed, a report on the result will be available for paid users and supporting next steps to be considered if a problem is detected. Headphones are recommended but not compulsory for app assessment.
