Your answers suggest that you can cope with everyday listening situations.
You can hear quiet sounds that are both high and low frequency.

It is a very good result!

However, it is important to remember that this is just an indication. No online test can replace a real hearing test. The only way to be sure is to get your hearing checked by a hearing care professional.

    If you do develop any hearing loss, it is very important to get it treated quickly

    Your hearing is deeply linked to your health. People with untreated hearing loss often find it harder to take part socially. Because of this, hearing loss is a significant risk factor for dementia.i

    Social activities are important for stimulating the brain. They decrease the risk of accelerated cognitive decline.ii Scientists are investigating all sorts of other links between hearing and health.

About online hearing tests

Online hearing tests give you a quick indication of whether you need a full hearing test. They can’t replace a complete hearing evaluation by a hearing care professional or audiologist.
