About this tool

This screening page plays short pure tones from 125 Hz up to 12 kHz, one frequency at a time, and you simply answer heard or not heard; a summary chart then shows your answers across the range, with a callout for the 500 Hz to 3 kHz band that carries most everyday speech. Before starting, use headphones in a genuinely quiet room at a fixed, comfortable volume, because headphone quality, speaker response, and background noise all change what you can detect — honest limits worth repeating: this is not an audiogram, it is not calibrated, and it tests both ears together. Nothing is recorded; the tones are generated in your browser and no audio is captured. It is an educational estimate — not medical advice — and persistent concerns belong with an audiologist.
