RNID launches iPhone app to check the state of the nation's hearing
A new innovative iPhone application that allows people to check their hearing anywhere in the world has been launched today by RNID.
The app is the latest version of RNID's popular Hearing Check that has seen over half a million people check their hearing so far. The Hearing Check app for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch will allow users to check their hearing at the touch of a button for free. It is hoped that this scientifically verified check will encourage the 40 million iPhone users worldwide to check their hearing.
RNID's Chief Executive, Jackie Ballard, said: "This is a fantastic new way to encourage people to value their hearing and check it regularly. The Hearing Check application offers quick results and confidential advice from anywhere with a decent phone signal!"
RNID's Hearing Check application measures a person's ability to hear someone speaking when there is background noise, similar to being in a crowded room. The app is free to download and is a convenient way for people to check their hearing is within the normal range.
The application is available from iTunes here, and in the app store on your iPhone. It is also available on Facebook, online at the RNID website or by calling 0844 800 3838.

I don't know about you, but my Nokia e63 mobile is a champ. Even their mobile online support is great. I'll take my Nokia over an iPhone any day. As many blogs on http://www.dozenmobile.com say, there's a wealth of cool new phones out there. But if I want to change phone companies, no jailbreaking here, I just have to change the sim. Take that apple!!

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!

I just downloaded the app to my iPhone and it's actually pretty good. Unlike another online hearing test that advised me to buy hearing aids when my hearing is near normal, this app accurately informed me my hearing was within normal levels.
No vested interests!
