This is intended to gauge the interest in a piece of software designed to measure the lower thresholds of audibility across the audio spectrum. I wrote it a couple of years ago for my own use, but had a few folks approach me recently to ask if they could try it. My question is: would you be interested in doing this audiology test yourself, and if yes, would you be also willing to post the result here, on ASR (not required, I just think it would be interesting to share these)?
If there's sufficient interest, I'll start a beta-test thread for the software (called EARFUL). Designed for Windows, but should run under Wine on other O/S.
Since I just dug up the software, I wanted to see how my hearing has changed since the last time I used it, in 2018. I'm well over 50, so some higher frequency loss is expected. Here's the 2018 result (blue), plotted against an ISO audibility threshold curve (red):
And here's the result today, 2 years later, actually looks very similar with some minor changes, perhaps due to the listening environment being different:
