How our online hearing test works
Our online hearing test is split into three parts to help improve the accuracy of your results:
- A short set of self-evaluation questions to see if you've noticed important changes in your hearing.
- Our pure tone test follows, playing a series of beeps at different frequencies. Let us know if you can hear them!
- Finally, we simulate real world situations to see how well you hear when there is background noise.
Find a quiet place to take the test. If possible, wear a pair of headphones to improve test accuracy.
What is an online hearing test?
An online hearing test is a name broadly used to describe an online hearing screener. It assesses your hearing based on common signs of hearing loss. It can be as simple as a questionnaire or a combination of self-evaluation questions and auditory testing.
Our online hearing test is designed to give you the most comprehensive online assessment.
Whether you are experiencing mild to profound hearing loss or simply curious about your hearing abilities, it may offer a helpful first look at how you process sound.
What is a hearing frequency test?
A hearing frequency test is part of a full hearing assessment. It can help
- Determine how well you hear sounds across various pitches
- Identify any gaps in your hearing range.
- Detect early signs of hearing loss
- Determine whether you could benefit from wearing hearing aids
Your ability to hear different frequencies is crucial for understanding speech, enjoying music, and staying connected to the world around you.
Are online hearing tests accurate?
While the results from an online hearing test can offer valuable insights, they are not a substitute for a professional hearing assessment.
Only licensed hearing care professionals can give you a hearing loss diagnosis. Our hearing professionals use soundproof booths, specialized headphones, and years of training to guide you through the assessment. The full hearing assessment takes about an hour to complete.
Think of an online hearing test 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.

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.
