The Audhere Test Taker app is the test taker interface for testing of groups.

This app provides automated and manual hearing tests, hearing protection fit tests, and customizable health surveys. The app:

• Connects (via Bluetooth) to a WAHTS headset [1]
• Allows test takers to respond to the WAHTS by tapping a button on the tablet screen
• Communicates with the Audhere Admin app [2]
• Supports chat messaging between test taker(s) and the test administrator to minimize distractions
• Presents hearing test results graphically (audiogram) and numerically (table)
• Presents fit test results graphically and summarizes with a personal attenuation rating (PAR)

[1] Requires (1) WAHTS headset.
[2] Requires (1) installation of Audhere Admin app on a separate tablet. The Audhere Admin app allows the test administrator to efficiently manage a group of test takers.

About the Audhere apps and the WAHTS headset:

WAHTS is an OSHA- and ANSI-compliant calibrated headset with a built-in wireless audiometer. The WAHTS earcups attenuate sound on par with a single-walled sound booth.
Manage testing of groups with the Audhere Admin app and the Audhere Test Taker app installed on separate tablets or conduct one-on-one testing with the Audhere All-in-One app installed on a single tablet. The system can be used in conference rooms, waiting areas, classrooms, occupational exam rooms, and more!

This app uses a foreground service to maintain a stable connection with nearby devices during active sessions. This allows two tablets to stay connected while the app is in use, enabling smooth and uninterrupted communication using Nearby Connections. A persistent notification is shown while the connection is active.
