You'll start by playing a reference tone to set your device's volume to a comfortable level.
We will play beeps at different pitches. Be prepared β some tones will be very faint!
Click "Yes" to move to the next pitch. Click "No" to increase the volume.
Once both ears are tested, you'll immediately see your personalized audiogram and results.
Each frequency corresponds to everyday sounds you rely on. Here's what each test tone represents in real-world hearing.
Vowel sounds in speech; deep voices; low background hum.
Most conversational speech; telephone voices; normal dialogue.
Critical consonants β S, F, SH, TH, and CH sounds.
First range affected by noise-induced hearing loss. Bird songs.
Whistling, alarm tones, children's voices, and high-pitched sounds.
The decibel level at which you detected each tone determines your hearing loss category.
| Threshold Range | Category | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 0 β 20 dB | Normal Hearing | You can detect very quiet sounds β within the expected range. |
| 21 β 40 dB | Mild Hearing Loss | You may struggle with soft speech or noisy environments. |
| 41 β 60 dB | Moderate Hearing Loss | Normal speech is difficult to follow without amplification. |
| 61 β 90 dB | Severe Hearing Loss | Most speech is inaudible without hearing aids. |
| 90+ dB | Profound Hearing Loss | Even very loud sounds may not be audible. Evaluation essential. |

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.
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.
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.
The audiogram plots the softest decibel level at which you detected each tone. 0β20 dB is normal hearing. 21β40 dB suggests mild hearing loss. 41β60 dB is moderate. Above 60 dB indicates severe to profound hearing loss and a professional consultation is strongly recommended.
