Free Online Hearing Test
A free online hearing screening suite with 5 scientifically-validated tests: pure tone audiometry, speech-in-noise recognition, gap detection, pitch discrimination, and extended high-frequency assessment. Get a personalized audiogram, hearing age estimate, and downloadable PDF report — all processed locally in your browser.
How to Test Your Hearing Online
Use wired stereo headphones or earbuds in a quiet room. The test needs to measure each ear independently, so speakers will not work.
Pass the sound check, stereo verification, and volume calibration. This ensures your device is set up correctly for reliable results.
Answer a few quick questions about your age, gender, noise exposure, and any existing hearing concerns. This personalizes your results.
Press the button when you hear tones, type digits spoken in noise, identify gaps and pitch changes. The test adapts to your responses automatically.
Get your audiogram, hearing age, confidence score, and personalized recommendations. Download a PDF report to share with your audiologist.

Sound Check
Press play and confirm you can hear the tone.
Stereo Check
We will play a tone in one ear. Tell us which ear you hear it in.
Which ear did you hear the tone in?
🤫 Ambient Noise Check
A 5-second check that your room is quiet enough. We measure background noise via your microphone — audio is not recorded or sent anywhere.
Volume Calibration
Adjust the slider until the tone is at a comfortable listening level — not too loud, not too quiet.
Comfortable
🤲 Biological Calibration (recommended)
A 15-second exercise that calibrates your headphone loudness against a known reference. Improves test accuracy from ±20 dB to roughly ±10 dB — used by Eargo and validated in PMC 5784183.
Why hand rubbing?
Rubbing hands at a fixed distance produces a stable, well-studied broadband sound around 50 dB SPL — a biological reference that lets us calibrate uncalibrated consumer headphones.
Quick Profile

Pure Tone Audiometry
You will hear tones at different frequencies. Press the button as soon as you hear a tone — release when it stops.
Speech in Noise
You will hear 3 digits spoken with background noise. Type the digits you hear.
Gap Detection
You will hear two noise bursts. One has a brief silent gap. Which one had the gap — first or second?
Which burst had the silent gap?
Pitch Discrimination
You will hear two tones. Is the second tone higher or lower than the first?
Was the second tone higher or lower?
Extended High Frequency
Would you like to take the extended high-frequency test? (1 extra minute)
