Our online hearing test offers a simple way to get an early indication of your hearing, all from the comfort of your own home. The test works by playing a series of tones at different pitches and volumes through your headphones or earphones. As you listen, you’ll respond when you can hear each sound, helping to build a basic picture of how well you’re hearing across a range of frequencies.

How does the online hearing test work?

How to get the most from your online hearing test?
Taking your online hearing testthe right way helps give you a clearer, more reliableindicationof your hearing. A few simple steps can make all the difference.
What do your hearing test results mean?
Once you’ve completed your online hearing test, you’ll receive an indication of how well you’re hearing across a range of sounds. This can be a helpful first step, highlighting whether your hearing is within a typical range or if there may be some changes worth exploring further.
In some cases, reduced hearing can be caused by something simple, such as a build-up of ear wax. This is often quick to resolve, but it’s important not to make assumptions without a proper check.

What should you do next?
An online test is a useful guide, but it cannot give the full picture. A comprehensive hearing test with an audiologist looks in far greater detail at how you hear.
If your results suggest any changes, or if you’ve noticed differences in your hearing, booking a full hearing test is the best way to understand what’s really going on and what support may help you hear comfortably and confidently again.

Why a full hearing test matters?
A full hearing test gives you a clear, accurate understanding of your hearing, far beyond what an online check can provide.
During your appointment, our audiologists take the time to assess not just how you hear different sounds, but how your hearing is affecting your day-to-day life. We’ll also check the overall health of your ears, helping to identify anything that may be influencing your hearing, such as ear wax or other underlying factors.
This detailed approach means we can give you advice that’s tailored specifically to you. Whether your hearing is within a healthy range or there are changes to explore, you’ll leave with a clear understanding and confidence in your next steps.
It’s not just about results, it’s about making sure you feel informed, supported, and comfortable with your hearing.
