    For any bounded and smooth domain \(\Omega\) of the standard hyperbolic space \(\mathbb H^n\), an inequality for harmonic mean of the first \(n\) positive eigenvalues \(\mu_1(\Omega),...,\mu_n(\Omega)\) of the Steklov problem on \(\Omega\) is proved, namely \[ \sum_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{\mu_i(\Omega)}\geq\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{\mu_i(B_R)}, \] where \(B_R\) is the ball in \(\mathbb H^n\) with the same volume of \(\Omega\). Equality holds if and only if \(\Omega\) is a ball. The proof relies on the construction of a suitable set of test functions for the Rayleigh quotient in terms of normal coordinate functions.
