Hearing Test

The following Youtube video broadcasts tones from 20Hz up to 20KHz in multiple increments. Find a good set of headphone or speakers and set the volume to a comfortable level, not too loud. Mark the frequencies that you have problem hearing and run the test with different speakers or headphones to see if you obtain different results. For each frequency, slowly increase the volume until you can hear the sound and mark the volume setting (remember to turn the volume control back down before the next frequency). Compare the results with others. This would give some indications on how your hearing compares with others.

The following hearing loss check is based on the Revised American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) five-minute hearing test. It is a means of quickly assessing if you possibly have a hearing loss requiring referral for an objective hearing test and possible hearing solution. Each question is to find out about your hearing capability under different situations.

For each question, assign a weight of 0 to 4, with 0 for strongly disagree and 4 for strongly agree. If your total score is 10 or higher, you would need a full audiological evaluation.
