How It Works

Four Simple Steps to Your Audiogram

No download, no registration, no clinic visit required. You'll need stereo headphones and a quiet room β€” that's it.

1

Prepare Your Setup

Put on stereo headphones and find a quiet room. Set your device volume to approximately 50%.

2

Calibrate Volume

Play the reference tone and adjust until it sounds like a comfortable, normal speaking voice.

3

Listen & Respond

Indicate whether you hear each tone. We test 5 frequencies in your left ear, then your right.

4

Get Your Audiogram

Your personalized audiogram is generated instantly with a plain-language result summary.

The Test

Start Your Free Hearing Test

Stereo headphones are required. The test checks both ears independently across five standard clinical frequencies.

Online Hearing Check

Pure-Tone Audiometry Screening β€” Hearing Benefit Services

Step 1 of 4 β€” Preparation
Disclaimer: This screening is for informational purposes only and does not replace a professional medical diagnosis. If you suspect hearing loss, consult a licensed audiologist.

Before you begin:

  • Wear stereo headphones β€” required to test ears individually.
  • Set your device volume to approximately 50%.
  • Find a quiet room β€” background noise affects results.
  • The full test takes approximately 5 minutes.

Volume Calibration

We are playing a standard reference tone.

Adjust your computer volume until the sound is your preferred comfortable listening volume.

Can you hear the tone?

If no, we will increase the volume. If yes, we move to the next pitch.

Your Hearing Profile

Pure-tone audiogram β€” lower on the chart means louder sounds were needed to detect the tone.

How to Read Your Audiogram

  • Blue line = Left Ear hearing threshold
  • Red line = Right Ear hearing threshold
  • Green band = Normal hearing range (0–20 dB)
  • Points higher on the chart = better hearing at that frequency.

What to Expect During the Test

A quick overview of how the screening works.

1. Adjust Volume

You'll start by playing a reference tone to set your device's volume to a comfortable level.

2. Listen for Tones

We will play beeps at different pitches. Be prepared β€” some tones will be very faint!

3. Answer Yes/No

Click "Yes" to move to the next pitch. Click "No" to increase the volume.

4. Instant Results

Once both ears are tested, you'll immediately see your personalized audiogram and results.

Understanding Results

What Do the Frequencies Mean?

Each frequency corresponds to everyday sounds you rely on. Here's what each test tone represents in real-world hearing.

500 Hz
Low Pitch

Vowel sounds in speech; deep voices; low background hum.

1,000 Hz
Mid Range

Most conversational speech; telephone voices; normal dialogue.

2,000 Hz
Speech Clarity

Critical consonants β€” S, F, SH, TH, and CH sounds.

4,000 Hz
High Clarity

First range affected by noise-induced hearing loss. Bird songs.

8,000 Hz
High Frequency

Whistling, alarm tones, children's voices, and high-pitched sounds.

dB Level Guide

What Your dB Score Means

The decibel level at which you detected each tone determines your hearing loss category.

Threshold RangeCategoryWhat It Means
0 – 20 dBNormal HearingYou can detect very quiet sounds β€” within the expected range.
21 – 40 dBMild Hearing LossYou may struggle with soft speech or noisy environments.
41 – 60 dBModerate Hearing LossNormal speech is difficult to follow without amplification.
61 – 90 dBSevere Hearing LossMost speech is inaudible without hearing aids.
90+ dBProfound Hearing LossEven very loud sounds may not be audible. Evaluation essential.
Clinical Tip: Hearing loss that appears only at 4,000 Hz and 8,000 Hz is often the first sign of noise-induced hearing loss β€” even when conversational speech still sounds clear. Early detection leads to significantly better outcomes.
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the online hearing test, your audiogram, and what to do next.

Is this online hearing test accurate?

This screening uses pure-tone audiometry methodology β€” the same approach used in clinical settings. Results depend heavily on your headphone quality and ambient noise levels. It is not a clinical diagnostic test, but it is a validated initial screening. Always follow up with a licensed audiologist for a formal diagnosis.

Do I need headphones for the hearing test?

Yes. Stereo headphones (over-ear or in-ear) are required to test each ear independently. Device speakers cannot deliver audio to one ear at a time, so individual ear results are not reliable without headphones.

What frequencies does the test cover?

The test covers 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 4000 Hz, and 8000 Hz β€” the five standard frequencies used in clinical pure-tone audiometry to assess speech-range and high-frequency hearing.

What does my audiogram result mean?

The audiogram plots the softest decibel level at which you detected each tone. 0–20 dB is normal hearing. 21–40 dB suggests mild hearing loss. 41–60 dB is moderate. Above 60 dB indicates severe to profound hearing loss and a professional consultation is strongly recommended.

What should I do if my results show hearing loss?

Schedule a free consultation with a licensed hearing specialist at Hearing Benefit Services. We offer fully remote appointments across all 50 states β€” no travel needed.

Is the online hearing test free?

Yes. The online hearing test at Hearing Benefit Services is completely free with no registration required. You will receive an instant audiogram and result summary at the end.

How long does the test take?

The full test β€” both ears across all five frequencies β€” typically takes approximately 5 minutes to complete from calibration to results.

Can I test my hearing without headphones?

Device speakers cannot deliver audio to one ear at a time, so ear-specific results are not reliable without headphones. We strongly recommend stereo headphones for accurate, individual ear results.
