Concerned about your hearing? Get an at-home hearing screening with an audiogram-style report instantly. No email required.
No personal data is collected or stored. Your results are processed locally in your browser.
This is a self-screening tool for informational purposes and is not a medical diagnosis. If you have hearing concerns, consult a licensed audiologist or physician.
We utilize reference data from the World Health Organization (WHO) to ensure your results are meaningful.
While this online tool is an excellent first step for monitoring ear health, it does not replace a clinical diagnosis in a soundproof booth. For accurate results at home, ensure your background noise is low (check using our Online Decibel Meter).

Hearing health changes gradually. We recommend taking this online hearing test once a year to track changes over time. If you work in a noisy environment or listen to loud music frequently, consider testing every 6 months. Consistent monitoring helps detect early signs of hearing loss before they affect your daily life.
This tool is a professional-grade screening test, but it cannot replace a clinical diagnosis. A doctor's audiogram is performed in a soundproof booth with calibrated equipment. Our test is excellent for identifying potential issues and tracking trends, but environmental noise and headphone quality can affect absolute precision. If your results show "Moderate Loss" or worse, please consult an audiologist.
The audiogram plots the quietest sounds you could hear at each test frequency. The horizontal axis shows pitch (from low to high), and the vertical axis shows loudness in dB HL. Points near the top of the chart mean you can hear soft sounds easily; points lower down mean sounds must be louder before you notice them. As a rule of thumb, sounds that appear above your result line are usually too soft for you to hear, while sounds on or below the line are generally audible.
We follow the ISO 8253-1 audiometric standard. The test begins at 1000Hz because this frequency is the most stable and easily recognizable for the human ear. We then test higher frequencies (2k, 4k, 8k Hz) where hearing loss typically occurs first, before returning to lower frequencies (500, 250 Hz). This "bracketing" method ensures the highest accuracy and prevents auditory fatigue.
A valid hearing test relies on your immediate, unbiased reaction to sound. Allowing users to "go back" or "retry" a specific frequency introduces psychological bias—you might unconsciously "try harder" to hear a sound you missed, leading to false positives. If you feel you made a mistake, it is scientifically better to restart the full test to ensure your audiogram is authentic.
Hearing Age is a relative metric that compares your high-frequency hearing sensitivity to statistical population averages (Source: WHO & ASHA). As we age, we naturally lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds (a condition called presbycusis). If your hearing age is higher than your biological age, it suggests you may have more high-frequency hearing loss than the average person your age.
