In order to raise everyone's awareness of the importance of hearing health and its preservation, the Fondation Pour l'Audition has developed Höra, a mobile application for identifying hearing problems.

Based on a benchmark hearing test developed by audiology experts, called the “3-digit test”*, Höra allows you to test your hearing quickly and reliably. Höra is not a diagnostic test of your hearing, nor a medical device. It cannot, on its own, help a doctor make a clinical decision.

If you detect a hearing problem with Höra, it is necessary to consult a doctor who will carry out in-depth hearing tests as part of a clinical diagnosis and will help you, if necessary, to find the most appropriate therapeutic solution. adapted.

Recently, we added a new feature to Höra, a sound level meter. Thanks to your smartphone, you can now know the intensity of the noise around you and move away from it if it exceeds 80 decibels (dB), the danger threshold for your hearing. So, listen carefully and don't exceed 80!

Thanks to Höra, you can:

- Test your hearing in just 3 minutes
- Measure the sound level around you using a sound level meter
- Follow the evolution of your hearing thanks to the history of your tests
- Learn more about your hearing thanks to numerous preventive tips and tricks
- Create an account and use the application for an unlimited number of users
- Share your results with those around you
- Schedule a reminder for your next test

How it works ?

- Connect headphones or earphones (for optimal evaluation)
- Measure your sound environment: it must be below 55 decibels to launch a test
- Adjust the volume for comfortable listening
- Listen to the different series of 3 numbers and transcribe them on the screen
- Find out your result and view your test history
