Keep this check free

I live with hearing loss too. I built this check myself and cover its costs so it can stay free. If it helped you, you can chip in to keep it that way.

Why are sounds repeated?

For each pitch, we try quieter and louder settings, then look for at least two responses in three upward approaches to the same level. The number of sounds varies with your responses; it is not three sounds per pitch. At the quietest and loudest limits we repeat to check the boundary. If no level settles after 40 sounds, that pitch is marked “Not confirmed” so you can repeat it separately.

A first look at your responses

Your left ear

Your left ear’s confirmed responses ranged from 10 to 40 on this check’s relative scale. The graph shows how they vary from lower to higher pitches.

Your right ear

Your right ear’s confirmed responses ranged from 15 to 50 on this check’s relative scale. The graph shows how they vary from lower to higher pitches.

Bring your experience, too

Think about situations that prompted this check: conversations, meetings, television or hearing from one side. Your experience matters alongside the graph. You can take both to a hearing professional.
