1. Splash screen
This is the screen that all participants will start on when beginning the test workflow. It can be customized to reflect your organization’s branding.
2. How it works screen
This screen offers a brief explanation of the test’s flow and what the participant can expect from the test.
3a. Before we start screen
On this screen, the participant must enter their age and gender, which are essential screening questions for data logging.
3b. Pre-test contact capture (optional)
In addition to age and gender, you can use the optional contact capture form to gather more information from the participant before they proceed with the test.
4. Dynamic questionnaire screens
The participant will then be asked a series of questions from our dynamic questionnaire. The questions are designed to probe the participant’s perception of their own hearing ability, and how motivated they are to take the next step on their journey to healthy hearing.
The questions will also change based on the participant’s responses to acquire the most relevant information from the participant regarding their hearing health. The responses to these questionnaires are logged with the participant’s test data and can be reviewed by an audiologist after exporting results from the portal. To view a list of the questions and their response options, see Questionnaire Flowsheet.
5. Find a quiet place dcreen
After the questionnaire, the participant will be prompted to find a quiet place without background noise to perform the test.
6. Headphone select screens
The participant is then asked to select which type of headphones they are using, and how they are connected to their device.
7. Volume configuration screens
Next, the participant is prompted to ensure their headphones are connected and to set their device volume to 100%. Instructions are provided on how to do so if they are unsure.
8. Pre-test audio check
The participant is then prompted to put on their headphones and play an audio sample to ensure that everything is working correctly. After the check has been completed, they may click on the Start hearing check! button to proceed to the hearing test.
9. Hearing check screens
The participant’s hearing is then screened with a speech passage and a series of frequencies, beginning with the right ear and ending with the left. The on-screen instructions tell the participants to use the buttons labeled with + and - symbols until the volume of the tone presented matches what is expected from the instructions. Some frequencies presented will ask the participant to set the volume to the loudest level that is still comfortable, others will ask the participant to set the volume at the quietest level that is still audible.
10. Hearing check complete screen
This screen will be displayed to the participant once they have completed every frequency and their test results are being calculated. The participant will be prompted to lower the volume on their device. Instructions are provided on how to do so if they are unsure.
11. Results screen
The final screen of the test. This is where the participant views their results and receives positive feedback on how to take the next steps on their journey to healthy hearing. Additionally, if you have a call-to-action button enabled, the participant can click it to link themselves to your booking or contact page.
