Before You Start
For the most reliable screening:
- Use headphones or earbuds rather than speakers, and confirm left and right are correct.
- Sit in a quiet room, away from televisions, fans, and traffic noise.
- Set your device to a comfortable, soft volume, and don’t change it once the screening begins.
- If you wear hearing aids, follow the tool’s instructions about whether to remove them.
The screening takes about five minutes.

What This Screening Can and Can’t Tell You
An online screening is a quick check of how well you hear tones at common speech frequencies. It can suggest whether a professional evaluation may be worthwhile. It is not a diagnosis and cannot replace a hearing test performed in person by a licensed hearing instrument specialist. Results can be affected by your headphones, device settings, and background noise.
If you have sudden hearing loss, ear pain, drainage, or dizziness, contact your physician or seek medical care promptly rather than relying on an online screening.
Understanding Your Results
- If your results look typical: That’s reassuring, but an online screening has limits. If you still notice difficulty in conversation, on the phone, or in noisy places, consider a full evaluation.
- If your results suggest possible hearing loss: A comprehensive evaluation can measure your hearing accurately in each ear, including how well you understand speech, and explain what the results mean.
- If you’re unsure: Call us at 484-401-9585 and we will talk through next steps.
