1. A method of testing a hearing ability of a user using a portable sound source playing apparatus, the method comprising:
extracting at least one phoneme from each of a plurality of groups comprising at least one phoneme each, wherein the plurality of groups are classified based on frequencies of phonemes; outputting a signal corresponding to the at least one extracted phoneme; obtaining a response of the user regarding a degree of audibility of the output signal; determining the degree of audibility of a predetermined frequency band, to which each of the at least one extracted phoneme corresponds, based on the response of the user; and measuring hearing characteristics of the user showing the degree of audibility for each frequency band based on a result of determination.
