Tools unlocked — use headphones for best results
Screening only — not a clinical test. This tool plays calibrated tones via your device. Always use headphones. Set your device volume to a comfortable level before starting. Results indicate patterns that warrant clinical evaluation.

Step 1 — Select ear to test

Test one ear at a time. Use a single in-ear headphone in the selected side. Cover or lightly plug the other ear if possible.

How this helps identify the pathway:
Test both ears with headphones (air conduction). High-frequency loss (4–8 kHz) that is worse than low frequencies suggests sensorineural loss — inner ear or nerve damage. Flat or low-frequency loss suggests conductive pathology — wax, middle ear fluid, or eardrum problem — often treatable. A gap between air and bone conduction on formal testing confirms conductive loss.

Step 2 — Select frequency

Test all 8 for a complete screen. Speech clarity depends mainly on 500 Hz – 4 kHz. High-frequency loss at 4–8 kHz is the earliest sign of noise or age-related damage.

Step 3 — Set hearing level (dB HL)

Start at 40 dB HL. If heard, step down 10 dB and repeat. The threshold is the lowest level heard on 2 out of 3 presentations.

40 dB HL
Mild range — most conversational speech still audible
Normal−10 to 25 dB HLHears whispers and very soft sounds
Mild26 – 40 dB HLMisses soft speech, struggles in noise
Moderate41 – 55 dB HLDifficulty with normal conversation
Mod-severe56 – 70 dB HLNeeds raised voice; TV very loud
Severe71 – 90 dB HLHears only shouts or very loud sounds
Profound> 90 dB HLRelies on lip reading or amplification

Step 4 — Play tone and record response

Ready — press Play to present the tone.

Live screening audiogram

Preliminary interpretation

Sensorineural (SNHL): Cochlea or auditory nerve damage. High-frequency loss first. Noise, ageing, ototoxic drugs. Managed with hearing aids or cochlear implant.
Conductive: Outer or middle ear problem. Flat or low-frequency loss. Wax, fluid, perforation, otosclerosis. Often medically or surgically correctable.
Mixed: Both components present. Requires full audiological workup — tympanometry and bone conduction testing.
