Albert, I said grab your headphones, not your ear buds! The online instructions do in fact specify cans that fully enclose your ears, along with disclaimers about quiet backgrounds and decent sound cards.
I took the test at night (Sony MDR-V6 cans) when it was quiet of course, and ran it twice -- first just to familiarize myself with it, and then to settled in and really listen. (I never feel quite "ready" at the doctor's, and they NEVER let you do it twice, God forbid!)
In any case, I found the UNSW test to be highly accurate, and right in line with the "professional" results I got a few weeks earlier. YMMV as they say.
