How It Works
This hearing test plays pure tones at different frequencies to help you identify which sounds you can hear. Use headphones or good quality speakers for the best results. Start with a comfortable volume and adjust as needed.
Use manual mode to test specific frequencies, or automatic mode to test all frequencies in sequence.
Click play and listen carefully. Some frequencies might be very quiet or outside your hearing range.
Click "I Can Hear This" when you detect the tone. Your results will show which frequencies you can hear.
Online Hearing Test - Key Features
This online hearing test gives you a quick way to check which frequencies you can hear. The human ear can typically detect sounds from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, but this range gets narrower as we age. Most people start losing the ability to hear higher frequencies in their 20s, and by middle age, the upper limit often drops to around 15,000 Hz or lower.
You can test your hearing in two ways. Manual mode lets you slide through the frequency range yourself, stopping at any point that interests you. This works well if you want to explore specific ranges or find the exact point where your hearing cuts off. Automatic mode runs through twelve standard test frequencies from bass to treble, making it easy to get a complete picture of your hearing range without fiddling with controls.
The volume slider helps you find a comfortable listening level. Different headphones and speakers have different capabilities, so what sounds quiet on one device might be loud on another. Start around 50% volume and adjust from there. If you can't hear something even at higher volumes, that frequency might be outside your hearing range rather than just too quiet.
Your results show up as colored badges for each frequency you've tested. Green means you heard it, gray means you haven't tested it yet. This gives you a visual map of your hearing range. Keep in mind this is just a basic screening tool. If you notice hearing problems or want an accurate assessment, see an audiologist who can test you with calibrated equipment in a quiet room.
