Have you taken an online hearing test before?
Take the online hearing test anywhere
You can take the online hearing test from the comfort of your own home. Plus it's free and you'll get your results within minutes.
Before taking the test
- Find a quiet place where you won't be interrupted.
- Wear headphones if you can. This will increase the accuracy of your results.
- You'll have a chance to test the sound before you start.
- Once you've checked the sound, you're all set.
What happens during the online hearing test?
The test has three main parts:
- Everyday listening situations
Answer four questions about how well you think you hear - Tone testing
Listen to various tones and see how well you can hear sounds at different frequencies - Conversation comprehension
Listen to a short conversation and answer a few questions
What happens after the test?
After the test you’ll get your results almost immediately. If your results show that you might have hearing loss, we recommend that you book a free, in-depth hearing test at one of our hearing clinics.
As part of your evaluation, you will also learn about recommended solutions based on your hearing evaluation results.

The online hearing test does not replace a comprehensive hearing evaluation
While our free online hearing test is a valuable way to learn if you might have hearing loss, it doesn’t replace an in-depth hearing evaluation administered by one of our registered hearing care experts. The online hearing test can be a good way to decide whether you should go ahead and book an appointment with us.
Our free online hearing test is a screening test and therefore has a binary pass or fail criteria. This will allow you to understand whether further testing is needed to uncover your hearing ability.
If the online test doesn't pick up on any signs of hearing loss but you're still worried about your hearing, then we recommend that you get in touch to book a free, comprehensive hearing evaluation.
