Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Test results of the Sound-Ear-Check will be compared with the results of the<br /><br>standard pure-tone audiogram and conventional internet screening tests. The<br /><br>sensitivity and specificity can be assessed to investigate whether the<br /><br>Sound-Ear-Check is a valid screening method to diagnose hearing problems. </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Secondary study parameters that will be studied are differences in S/N score<br /><br>between test and retest, the correlation between S/N scores of test and retest<br /><br>in order to estimate the test-retest reliability and the learning effect.<br /><br>Furthermore we will investigate the effect of age in the outcomes of the test. </p><br>
