How to use Hearing Loss Simulator

  1. Add an audio or video file, or try the station announcement.
  2. Pick a hearing profile or drag the audiogram points, and add café or traffic noise or tinnitus.
  3. Switch between the original and 'as heard', read the speech audibility, and export the processed WAV.

What are the limits of Hearing Loss Simulator?

A filter-based approximation: real sensorineural loss also blurs pitch and timing. The audibility figure is an estimate, not a hearing test. Audio stays on your device.
