Sound intensity variation between devices/headsets was within 4 dB.
Automated iOS testing achieved 96% agreement with conventional audiometry in a sound booth (within 10 dB).
Automated iOS testing achieved 94% agreement in a quiet room, with 90% of subjects preferring the app.

Conclusions:

Apple iOS devices can serve as a platform for automated air conduction audiometry.
The application provides accurate hearing test results comparable to traditional methods.
This approach offers a convenient, equipment-free alternative for hearing assessments.
