The hearing test establishes the person’s ability to identify different tones, including in noisy environments where it can be difficult to understand a conversation partner even for people without hearing loss.

While the results of our online hearing test are not intended to replace an official diagnosis, they provide a useful first indication.

If there is a need for action, a qualified hearing care professional can perform a diagnosis in a full hearing examination, known as an audiogram.
