Hello David,
As part of the COVID excitement, we came up with a very short procedure that gets you into the ballpark for people with assumed healthy hearing by using their own detection thresholds to set an amplitude
reference. The experiments we ran to test this are Expt 1a-d in this paper:
Zhao, S., Brown, C. A., Holt, L. L., & Dick, F. (2022). Robust and efficient online auditory psychophysics. Trends in hearing, 26,

Cheers
Fred

Subject: Level setting with headphones + own device
Dear auditory colleagues,
Is anyone aware of a robust volume setting procedure for when participants are doing speech perception tasks with their own devices, say with online testing (headphones
connected to tablets, laptops, etc.)?
I know there are some convincing binaural tests to check people are using headphones, but what about the overall level setting?
Best
David
