You can check your hearing online in about 10 minutes with our free hearing screener. You need headphones or earphones and a quiet room. It tells you whether your hearing is likely normal or whether you should book a full hearing test. It is a screening, not a diagnosis, and we explain exactly what that means below.

How it works
- Put on headphones or earphones and find a quiet room.
- Set your volume when the screener asks.
- Listen to tones in each ear and answer whether you hear them.
- Enter your name and email to see your result. We ask for this so we can send you the full report and follow up if your result suggests a hearing loss.
What an online hearing check can and cannot tell you
An online screener is a good first step, but it is not a hearing test. It cannot see inside your ear, so it will not pick up earwax, an ear infection or fluid behind the eardrum, and it cannot measure the exact type or degree of hearing loss. Headphones and room noise also affect results. If the screener suggests a possible hearing loss, or if you have noticed changes yourself, book a full diagnostic hearing test with an audiologist. If you have sudden hearing loss in one ear, do not wait: see a doctor or audiologist within 48 hours.
What to do with your result
- Result looks normal and you have no concerns: re-check every year or two, sooner if things change.
- Result suggests a possible hearing loss: book a full hearing test. Medicare rebates may apply. We see adults and children aged 4 and above.
- Muffled or blocked ears: it may be earwax. See our microsuction earwax removal, in clinic or at home.
- Pensioner or DVA card holder: you may be eligible for free hearing aids. See who qualifies.

Frequently asked questions
Can I test my hearing online for free?
Yes. Our online hearing screener is free and takes about 10 minutes with headphones or earphones. You enter your contact details at the end to receive your result and report. It tells you whether you should book a full hearing test.
How accurate are online hearing tests?
They are useful for spotting a likely hearing loss, but they are a screening, not a diagnosis. Results depend on your headphones, volume and background noise, and an online check cannot see earwax, infections or fluid. Only a diagnostic hearing test with an audiologist measures your hearing properly.
Is an online hearing test the same as a hearing test with an audiologist?
No. A diagnostic hearing test uses calibrated equipment in a sound-treated room, checks your ear canal and eardrum, tests speech understanding and measures the exact type and degree of any hearing loss.
What should I do if the online screener shows hearing loss?
Book a full hearing test with an audiologist. If the loss came on suddenly, especially in one ear, see a doctor or audiologist urgently, ideally within 48 hours.
Do I need headphones for an online hearing test?
Yes. Headphones or earphones let the screener test each ear separately. Speakers will not give a useful result.
