ListeningCheck describes an Indian-English numbers-in-noise activity, but the page identifies its screens as silent dummies rather than a working hearing assessment.

People exploring Indian-English speech-in-noise listening
Worth noticing
The page says answers stay in the browser unless users choose to submit them, but also identifies the screens as silent dummy screens.

Field notes

The page gives setup guidance: use stereo headphones in a quiet room, disable mono and spatial audio, and avoid speakers. It says answers and scores remain in the browser unless a user chooses to contribute and submits them. The project describes clinical validation as being in its final step, but its metadata characterizes the screens as silent dummies, so that status is not evidence of a functioning assessment.
