How The Online Hearing Test Works

The Hearing Screener is an online, web-based screening tool for hearing loss. The latest version of the Hearing Screener assesses a person’s hearing sensitivity to four pure tones in quiet (two in each ear). The screener also asks the person for their age and how they would describe their hearing in certain situations. Using all this information, the Hearing Screener relies on a statistical model to:

  • Estimate a full bilateral audiogram (6 frequencies per ear; 0.5-8 kHz), which is less vulnerable to uncertainties, such as those arising from usage error and use of non-calibrated equipment during the screening.

  • Classify the hearing loss (*), which allows for reliable recommendations.

  • Reduce testing time compared to previous versions of the Hearing Screener.
