This application relates to audiometric testing techniques. An example implementation is based on audibly providing a target word to a user and receiving a response of what the user audibly perceived in text form. The text is then converted into phonemes and compared with phonemes of the target word. In many examples, the process is repeated for multiple target words. The resulting comparison data can be used to determine the user's ability to hear and can be the basis for one or more treatment actions if the results reveal the user may suffer from hearing loss. The treatment actions can include providing the user with a hearing device or modifying an existing hearing device of the user.
