How Good Is Your Hearing? Take the Test!

A new online game called The Art of Hearing, a creation by a Manchester-based company called Amplifon, can help you determine exactly where your hearing deficiencies lie.  We all have them–especially us music fans–but what are they, exactly?

Using an immersive website experience, a set of headphones and the sounds of a waterfall, chirping birds and a ringing phone, the game will let you know the areas in which your hearing sucks. Read up on the test here and click the image below to get started.
