What is an online hearing test?

Whether you are experiencing mild to profound hearing loss or simply curious about your hearing abilities, our online hearing pre-test offers a helpful first look at how you process sound. It includes three parts: a short set of self-evaluation questions, tone testing across different frequencies, and a brief conversation comprehension exercise.

While the results can offer valuable insights, they are not a substitute for a professional assessment. Think of it as a starting point. If the results suggest you may have hearing loss, visiting one of our clinics for a comprehensive assessment is the best way to get clear answers and personalized care.

Understanding a Hearing Frequency Test

Your ability to hear different frequencies is crucial for understanding speech, enjoying music, and staying connected to the world around you. A hearing frequency test helps determine how well you hear sounds across various pitches, identifying any gaps in your hearing range.

What Is a Hearing Frequency Test?

A hearing frequency test measures your hearing ability across different sound frequencies. This test can detect early signs of hearing loss and help determine whether you may benefit from hearing aids or other hearing care solutions.

Can you trust the online hearing test?

While an online hearing test is a valuable way to learn if you might have hearing loss, it does not replace a comprehensive hearing evaluation administered by a certified hearing care professional. An online hearing test can therefore be a good way to decide whether you should go ahead and book an appointment with a hearing care professional. 

An 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 (by visiting an in-clinic professional for an in-person hearing test).

If the online test does not pick up on any signs of hearing loss and you are still concerned that you might have hearing loss, then we recommend that you contact your local hearing care clinic for a comprehensive hearing evaluation.

Why regular hearing tests are important

Living with untreated hearing loss affects far more than your ability to hear. It may affect your ability to socialize with friends and family, leaving you feeling isolated or lonely.

Hearing loss can also affect your memory and your mental sharpness. It may even increase your risk for cognitive decline. 

The good news is that hearing aids can improve your hearing so that you can enjoy engaging in your favourite activities and socializing with friends and family. Today's discreet, comfortable and technologically advanced hearing aids are effective at treating hearing loss, and they can significantly improve your quality of life.
