Before you start

Set up your headphones and environment correctly.

If the trial tone feels too loud or uncomfortable, lower the volume before beginning.

1. Use stereo headphones

Check that the left and right sides are positioned correctly.

2. Moderate volume

Keep the level comfortable and unchanged throughout the test.

3. Quiet environment

Background noise can significantly affect an orientation result.

Trial tone

Check your volume at 1000 Hz

The tone should sound clear and comfortable, not loud.

This is not a calibrated audiometer. Phones, computers and consumer headphones do not produce standardized dB HL output. The result is for orientation only and must not be used for diagnosis or hearing-aid programming.

What do we test?

Low, mid and high frequencies.

Different frequencies carry different parts of sound information. This screening can help reveal whether some tones feel noticeably harder to hear in one ear or frequency region.

In-depth guide

Online hearing test with tones from 250 to 8000 Hz

The otofon.al online hearing test uses pure tones from 250 to 8000 Hz and checks the left and right ear separately. It is an orientation screening tool and is not a calibrated clinical audiogram.

How to prepare

Use stereo headphones, choose a quiet room and keep the device volume unchanged. Do not use maximum volume. If the trial tone feels loud or uncomfortable, reduce the volume before you start.

What the frequencies represent

Low, mid and high frequencies carry different parts of acoustic information. Difficulty at specific frequencies can affect speech clarity, particularly in background noise.

Why the result is only an orientation

Headphones, phones and computers are not calibrated in dB HL. Actual sound output varies by device, so an online result cannot be used for diagnosis or hearing-aid programming.

When to book professional audiometry

If some tones are not heard, require a higher relative level, or there is a clear difference between ears, book calibrated professional audiometry.

Is this online test a clinical hearing test?

No. It is an orientation screening and does not produce calibrated dB HL thresholds.

Do I need headphones?

Yes. Stereo headphones are needed to test the left and right ears separately.

Which frequencies are tested?

250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz.

What happens if I cannot hear a tone?

The test gradually increases the relative signal level. Persistent difficulty should be checked with professional audiometry.

Can I use the result to program a hearing aid?

No. Hearing-aid programming requires a clinical audiogram measured with calibrated equipment.

How long does the test take?

Usually only a few minutes, depending on how often tones need to be repeated.

Listen to real tones at different frequencies, one ear at a time.
