Hearing loss can affect anyone at any age, due to heredity, medical conditions or exposure to loud noise. However, as we get older, we naturally become more susceptible to hearing less because of changes to the delicate mechanics of our ears.
This screening test will help you identify a potential hearing problem.
In this hearing test, your speech understanding in noise will be tested because this is one of the most common challenges for people with hearing difficulties.
As you start the test, there follows a few steps. The test would take only a couple of minutes of your time. The test takes you through a brief questionnaire and different listening scenarios.
- Questions: Few questions will be asked based on your hearing.
- Calibration: which determines your hearing ability. You hearing will be checked and the noise level will change depending on your answers. Your result will be based on your average answers in each section. You might not get a precise result, but just an indication.
- Pure tone test: This test determines the softest tones a person can hear at different pitches or frequencies.
- Speech test: You will hear a combination of words which are spoken in different environments with background noise present. The words will not be repeated. You have to choose the exact word after listening to it.
The test can be taken using headphones or your computer speakers. But using headphones are highly recommended. You might want to take it more than once as you get used to the speed of the response time, just to ensure accurate results.
