For the most reliable results, we strongly recommend wearing earphones or headphones. This is an informal self-check, not a medical hearing test. It cannot diagnose hearing loss. If you have any concerns about your hearing health, please speak to your GP or an audiologist.

Optional: try a quick sound check

We’ll play a series of gentle pulsing tones, one ear at a time. For each one, you find the quietest level you can still hear. It takes about 2 minutes and gives a feel for how well you pick up quieter, higher-pitched sounds, the ones most people notice fading first.

For best results, use headphones or earphones in a quiet room. This is an informal listening exercise, not audiometry, and results depend on your device and volume.

Set a comfortable volume

Tick both boxes, then play the tone and adjust your device volume until it’s clear and comfortable, but not loud. Once it sounds right, don’t change your device volume again.

If you wear hearing aids or amplifiers, please remove them for this check.

Right ear done

Now let’s check your left ear. The next four tones will play on the left side only.

Right ear

Can’t hear anything? Tap the circle to play the tone again.

Turn it down until the tone is only just audible, or up if you can’t hear it.
