OTTAWA, ONTARIO — SHOEBOX® Ltd. announced today that it has launched a new online hearing screening test. SHOEBOX Online uses “patented Dynamic Range technology to produce an effective screening solution for web-based testing”.
SHOEBOX Online enables participants to remotely assess their hearing from any device – mobile phone, tablet, or laptop – and with headphones they already own. The test will sort participants into categories based on their hearing ability – good, hearing loss or significant hearing loss. SHOEBOX Online is a tool that can assist with qualifying, prioritizing and assessing participants’ hearing health.

We set out to build a test that solves these problems. Our mission is to expand access to hearing services by making testing available to anyone from anywhere on the planet.”
–Mike Weider, CEO of SHOEBOX Ltd
