The objective is to compare the Linus Health Hearing Screener (LHHS) to established hearing screening methods performed by a hearing specialist. We will perform an in-office speech hearing test and compare the thresholds with those measured from the iPad at a distance of 1ft with a sound pressure level (SPL) (dBA) meter
