Do you suspect that you have a hearing loss? Try our online hearing test.
5 minutes
Introduction
This short hearing test takes you through a brief questionnaire and different listening scenarios (a pure tone test and a speech in noise test), to give you an indication of whether or not you might have a hearing loss. The results of the test allows us to guide you with relevant and helpful information and advice.
Recommendation
We highly recommend you to take the test in a quiet environment, preferably using headphones instead of built-in computer speakers as this will produce a more accurate test.
