Online Hearing Screening
Answer 8 simple questions about your everyday hearing. This free screening takes about two minutes and gives you an idea of whether a professional hearing test might help.
This is not a hearing test or a medical diagnosis. It is a screening questionnaire that highlights patterns. Only a qualified audiologist with calibrated equipment can measure your hearing. If you notice sudden hearing loss, ear pain, or discharge, see a doctor promptly.
Do you have trouble following conversations when two or more people are talking at the same time?
How this online hearing screening works
This screening uses eight questions drawn from established hearing self-assessment patterns used by audiologists worldwide. You rate each question from "Never" to "Almost always". Your answers are scored and compared against recognised thresholds to give a general indication of whether hearing difficulty may be present.
The screening runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent anywhere, no account is needed, and your answers are not stored.
What this screening cannot do
- •It cannot measure your hearing thresholds (how soft a sound you can detect at each pitch).
- •It cannot tell you the type of hearing loss (conductive, sensorineural, or mixed).
- •It cannot replace a clinical pure tone audiometry (PTA) test.
- •It is not suitable for children or infants — paediatric testing needs objective methods.
For an accurate assessment, book a free hearing test at a Prudent clinic or read our guide to how PTA testing works.
