Hearing Test

Informal per-ear screening โ€” results are approximate, not clinical.

Informal screening only โ€” not a medical diagnosis. Use headphones in a quiet room at moderate volume.

Read the instructions, then start with your left ear.

Current tone: โ€” ยท
What this screening measures

The test plays tones at increasing frequencies separately per ear. You indicate when you no longer hear the tone. The result is a rough upper limit โ€” useful for tracking changes over time, not for clinical diagnosis.

Limitations

Browser output is not calibrated. Background noise, headphone quality, and volume settings all affect results. Professional audiometry uses controlled SPL in sound-treated booths.

If results concern you

Consult an audiologist or ENT specialist for proper evaluation. Sudden hearing changes warrant prompt medical attention.
