The BeHear ACCESS headset is turned on and connected to the
smartphone via Bluetooth.
•
You have chosen the silicone earbud tips which are most

have been placed firmly in your ears.
•

Conducting the Hearing Assessment
To start the assessment, tap the
Personal
icon at the bottom of the
W&H BeHear
app screen
and select the
Assessment
option. Tap the
START
button at the bottom of the screen.
The hearing assessment starts with the left ear, goes through six different frequencies and then
repeats with the right ear. Advancing to the next frequency (by pressing the SAVE button in the
upper right-hand corner of the app) can be done only after completing the previous one.
If you use the
Basic
assessment:
1.
Set the
Hearing Threshold
level by placing your finger on the
round button on the scale and sliding it up until you clearly hear
the sound. Then, slowly move the button down to the lowest level
at which you can still hear the sound. You can do this as many
times as needed to find the correct sound threshold level for your
ear.
2.
Once the slider is set to the desired position, tap the
SAVE
button
at the top right corner of the screen.
3.
Repeat that action for the five remaining testing sounds for the left
ear, and then repeat the process for the right ear.
4.
Save the results, as instructed by the app prompts.

buttons on the phone can also be used to adjust the volume of
