Sound Scouts is the hearing test app designed to make testing hearing issues easy, by incorporating the science of a hearing test into a fun mobile game.
It’s important to know whether your child has hearing issues, and this is such an easy and accessible way to find out. Developed in collaboration with the National Acoustic Laboratories, the app is suitable for everyone, including adults and children aged 4 and up.
This week we’re looking for Sound Scouts reviewers to trial the app, so if this is something you’d like to try – apply today!
Accessible and immediate

Sound Scouts hearing test app is downloadable to compatible Apple or Android and Microsoft touchscreen devices. Simply download the app, and take the test with suitable headphones.
It checks for three different types of hearing issues:
- Middle & outer ear issues (conductive hearing loss)
- Inner ear issues (sensorineural hearing loss)
- Difficulties listening in noise (potentially caused by auditory processing issues, attention or language issues, or EALD).
Providing clinically reliable screening results for outer/middle ear and inner ear hearing loss and an indication of listening difficulties in noise. Once the test is complete, provided you are connected to the internet, results are immediately delivered on your device.
Recommended next steps are provided if a problem is detected.

Easy to use hearing test
Unfortunately my daughter didn’t want to wear headphones, which are required to accurately test your hearing and determine any differences between ears. My daughter doesn’t usually use headphones so she was nervous about putting them on her head.
She quite happily did the trial games and test without wearing headphones and found them quite enjoyable and easy to do.
However we couldn’t get any further than that.
I therefore ended up doing the hearing test on myself. And I apparently have hearing within a normal range for my age.
I would say that this is a very easy and convenient way to test your child’s hearing from the comfort of your own home and can give you instant results It gives you peace of mind if you have any concerns about your child’s hearing ability.

Innovative App
Sound Scouts have designed the test component of the app really well. It was easy for my 4 year old to understand and he enjoyed the activities.
Only took around 15mins to complete and then I had his results. Good to know his hearing is fine and that he is just choosing to ignore me ????
Thoroughly recommend this app to anyone who may have hearing concerns for the little ones

A very innovative, resourceful tool
Whether there are concerns, wanting your little one to understand what a hearing test is or testing for peace of mind. To me Sound Scouts is a great, thoughtful stepping stone.
From as soon as I opened the app, it gives you thorough information as the parent/ carer to understand what the process is and what is required.
Siging up is an easy process and takes less than five minutes, if you're not tech savvy I would put aside 10 minutes for set up.
I love that it was an interactive way for my daughters hearing to he tested with interesting games, the hot air balloon one she couldn't wait to start.
I live that it had some personal touches that she could choose it it helped provide a sense of belonging. And the fact that I could instantly get the results, is very appreciated. By seeing it on the screen where she fits and also having it emailed to me.
This is an app, I would gladly use again!
I really enjoyed this inspiring app as I feel it is a stepping stone

Hearing test
The images were fun and bright for my little one.
I think it is good to be able to have that peace of mind of something that is available to a parent at home which allows one to do a test such as this one.
