It failed for me 3 times in a row. First test their was a clear
interference due a dishwasher a room over, moved to a closed door
bathroom - 1am at night. No ambient background noise or audible
interruptions. I do have some degree of hearing loss plus auditory
exocytosis (surfers ear - surgically corrected) that affects some range
of fidelity in distinguishing sound, particularly on the high end
frequencies plus likely higher extent of hearing loss due to concerts
over a lifetime. But I would assume that the application or feature is
fit for purpose - that is determining which frequencies and at which
level sensory loss exists. Clearly - from a purely diagnostic standpoint
it has issues let alone how it would adapt or optimize sound output
based on an highly sensitive and specific assessment. I can try in my 16
daughter who will especially be sensitive to picking up sounds I know I
doubt I pick up and have the wife - whose ears are not as abused as
mine. But - bit of a disappointment from a customer who could benefit
from a practical feature that should have a technological fix.
