Common questions

Is this a real hearing test?

It is a screening. This is a screening, not a diagnosis. Only an in-office evaluation by an audiologist can diagnose hearing loss. If your result is Fair or Poor, we suggest an in-office evaluation.

Why do I listen for numbers in noise?

Trouble following speech in noise is often the first sign of hearing change. Numbers are easy to understand without a big vocabulary, so the test works for most adults.

Do I need headphones?

Yes, please use them. Headphones block room noise and let us test each ear. Speakers work, but the result is less reliable.
