Before starting, please make sure you are in a quiet room, there will be a noise level check at the start of the assessment. You will come to a screen where some tones will test your ear tips to see if they seal your ears well. If your tips don’t fit well you may be given some advice on trying other sizes. Sealing your ears makes sure you can hear each tone correctly, to give the best results.
Once Ear ID has tested your tip sizes, you can then start the assessment. Don’t stress if you can’t hear them all, that’s what we are here for.
