SOUND SCOUTS

General Information
Sound scouts is a government supported app that enables children and adults to check their hearing in any quiet location.

Health Claims/Benefits 
  • 1 in 10 children and 1 in 3 adults suffer from hearing loss, which left undetected can affect learning, socialising and overall quality of life.
  • Collaborating with the National Acoustic Laboratories, we created an app that provides mobile access to a hearing check,
  • An immediate report is delivered, including next steps if a hearing loss is detected.
  • Sound Scouts is now FREE for Australian school children thanks to Hearing Australia and funding from the Australian Government.

Warnings
  • The Sound Scouts App is a screening test only and should only be used as an indication of your child’s hearing. It is not a replacement for a hearing test carried out by a qualified clinician. It should not be taken as medical advice.
  • The results from the Sound Scouts App may vary, depending on whether you and the child are in a quiet or noisy environment, whether the child has understood what they are supposed to do and depending on the child’s concentration during the game.
