The Online Hearing Test does not replace a comprehensive hearing assessment
While an Online Hearing Test is a valuable way to learn if you might have hearing loss, it does not replace a comprehensive hearing assessment administered by a certified hearing care expert. An online hearing test can therefore be a good way to decide whether you should go ahead and book an appointment with a hearing care expert.
An Online Hearing Test is a screening test and therefore has a binary pass or fail criteria. This will allow you to understand whether further assessment is needed to determine your hearing ability (by visiting a hearing center for an in-person hearing test).
If the online test does not pick up on any signs of hearing loss and you are still concerned that you might have hearing loss, then we recommend that you contact your local hearing center for a comprehensive hearing assessment.

Why regular hearing assessments are important
Living with untreated hearing loss affects far more than your ability to hear. It may affect your ability to socialize with friends and family, leaving you feeling isolated or lonely.
Hearing loss can also affect your memory and your mental sharpness. It may even increase your risk for cognitive decline.
The good news is that hearing aids can improve your hearing so that you can enjoy engaging in your favorite activities and socializing with friends and family. Today's discreet, comfortable and technologically advanced hearing aids are effective at treating hearing loss, and they can significantly improve your quality of life.
