Auditory Acuity Assessment—How Sensitive is Your Hearing? 🎧 ASMR Soft Spoken & Whisper Hearing Test

With five levels of difficulty! This assessment tests your ability to understand simple to complex words at different volumes and with or without background noise. Each level starts out with a single syllable word you must repeat back & ends with three or more syllable words varying from "grocery" to "filigree" to "affectation". The last three levels have varying levels of background noise, from brown noise to bass humming to beachside waves.

Unfortunately, the low pass filter on the audio makes every tap on the clipboard sound like a mic bump. Actual mic bumps are much louder & peak the audio. I edited what I could, but that did happen a lot, primarily during writing.

❥ What Is ASMR? From Oxford Languages: "a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound. 'ASMR is triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage.'"

❥ I want y'all to have a safe environment here regardless of where you come from, who you love, what you look like, you name it. I don't tolerate discrimination or hatred based on attributes you can't change like where you were born, what color you are, if you have a disability, or who you love– above all, be kind to one another. We're all just people, just trying to do our thing.
