Web- and app-based tools for remote hearing assessment: a scoping review

A total of 187 tools using tones, speech, self-report, or a combination were reviewed and these tools varied in accuracy, quality, output/feedback, and functionality. Only 22 tools (12%) were peer-reviewed and 14 had acceptable functionality. Tone-producing tools provide approximate hearing thresholds but have calibration and background noise issues. Speech and self-report tools are less affected by these issues but mostly do not provide an estimated PTA. Predicting audiograms using filtered language-independent materials could be a universal solution.
