How good is your ear?

What “good” means in a casual frequency game — and what it does not mean.

In Dialed Sound Game, your score reflects how close your guess was to each target tone under the game’s rules — not your clinical hearing thresholds, and not whether you need hearing aids.

Headphones help. Phone speakers often struggle with very high frequencies, so your “limit” might be the device, not your ears. Use a moderate level and take breaks.

The fun “hearing age” line on the results screen is derived from your round scores for sharing — it is not an audiogram and not a substitute for a professional test.

If you want to improve, treat it like a skill: repeat daily runs, notice which bands feel hardest, and use practice mode to grind tier unlocks at your own pace — all stored locally in your browser.
