Sound Scouts

Sound Scouts is a hearing test designed for children but playable by everyone. After birth all children should have access to a hearing test around the time they start school. Sound Scout's Founder Carolyn Mee's vision is to provide an accessible and fun hearing test for children. Undetected hearing loss in children greatly impacts their social development and education. It is crucial to identify hearing problems in children early in their lives in order to support growth and development throughout their school years. Developed in collaboration with the National Acoustic Laboratories, Sounds Scouts looks and feels like a game, however, it incorporates advanced scientific principles that enable it to detect a range of hearing problems. While Sound Scouts is based on science, it's the gameplay that encourages and enables a valid hearing check for children (aged 4yrs 9months and older).
