Perfect Sound For Your Weird Ears

#41

I can’t get Hear ID to do anything. All the times on both ears and the graph it’s just a flat horizontal line. Am I missing something?

#42

Sorry. I hear all the tones.

Hi, does the HearID chart show the user’s hearing results, or does it show the equalizer adjustments it will make if enabled? For me, the curve raises a lot for high frequencies, where I have a lot of hearing loss, so that makes me think it must be showing the EQ adjustments, not the hearing results.

Related question: what does it mean when the curve drops down below the flat line? Is that like going below 0, so it’s going to actually reduce the frequency at that point?

Thanks!

The HearID will show you the EQ adjustment that it is making. If it goes below 0 then it will reduce the sound.

And you can now set a custom EQ if you don’t like the one that HearID gives you

Thanks for the info @TechMan.

I’m curious about what it measures that would make it decrease the curve with the EQ? It must be doing more than just going by the tap/hold on the screen. Maybe it uses the microphones to listen somehow for resonance?

The test keeps bumping down my right ear at 800. I swapped the earphones and ran the test again with the right plug in left ear and left in right. It then put the same drop at 800 on the left ear, so it’s something with that ear bud, not my right ear. Today it’s not bumping down quite as much, but is still doing it. Maybe there is something not quite right with that bud?

Thanks,
Marshall

Do you have the soundcore curve wireless earbuds? Because they aren’t compatible with the app…

I’m using the Liberty Pro 2. They sound excellent, and the HearID results sound great, so I’m not complaining—just curious about how it decides it needs to reduce a band.

It’s also cool that we can get different EQ curves for each ear with HearID. Wish we could do separate left/right with the custom curve as well.

Ahh, I see what you mean.

If you get to a point where you can no longer hear a frequency, then it boosts that frequency slightly, since your ears don’t hear it as well.

As to how it decides if it needs to reduce something… I don’t think they actually reduce certain frequencies. But by boosting certain frequency’s, then all other frequency’s naturally get reduced- if that makes sense

None of the mics in the liberty 2 pro are in the tip themselves so it can’t measure sound in the eardrum.

Yeah, that makes sense. The majority of the graph is flat, so I was thinking that’s 0, but maybe it’s boosted, while 800 is not boosted at all. Would help if they showed 0 on the graph.

Hear ID is a great feature :+1:

HearID proved VERY useful to me as it gave me reason to get a hearing test - ultimately resulting in the issue being fixed. My right ear was showing as having reduced high frequency sensitivity. The audiologist found my right ear canal to be blocked with wax. An appointment to get that ear micro-suctioned to remove the ‘plug’ resulted in a further HearID test result with overlying plot lines instead of one differing significantly at the end - oh and music is more enjoyable to listen to now. Thanks HearID!

I think this is the best testimonial for the hearID that I have heard so far. I could see it being used for promotion purposes if summarized more. At least that is my thought.

Well I was so impressed with it that I wrote to the place that did the check and wax removal in order to tell them soon after! I included before and after pics of HearID but as I hadnt saved the before one, I had to recreate it by not pressing down on the button for around the same number of seconds until I could hear anything. The before picture is a true approximate likeness of what the graph looked like though - you get an accurate gist of things. Here are the pics I saved back from that email:

I was so pleased that I told the hearing specialists it was the best £40 I’d spent (for the wax removal). To think that HearID prompted all of this and that was included with my snazzy earbuds at no extra cost was the icing on the cake though.

Here’s where Airpods are put to shame. C’mon, I bought some Jaybird X3 and their EQ settings were great but it seems like Anker took it to another level. :hushed::boom::fire:

Great to see how HearID is helping…
Soon Anker/Soundcore will be making medical grade equipment :+1:

I want them to make smart watches now and I’d be happy. Feel like they could do that well.
