Our free online hearing screening is a good indication of whether you have hearing loss, but it cannot stand alone. If the hearing screening indicates that you might have hearing loss, it is a good idea to visit a hearing care specialist for further testing.
Why should you take a hearing screening?
Improving listening and communicating with the help of hearing aids can have a profound impact on a person’s life.
You might find that a hearing aid improves your social interactions. You may also find that it makes it easier to understand and connect with people.
Yes, there’s no doubt about it: hearing has a vital role in our lives, meaning there’s every reason to check your hearing on a regular basis.
You are not alone
Hearing loss affects more people than is often realized and it is often ignored, undiagnosed or undetected.
In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 1.5 billion people worldwide have hearing loss.
How to know if you need hearing aids
Hearing can deteriorate slowly and this gradual decline over time can mean that you fail to notice a reduction in your hearing ability - or that you even accept hearing loss as the new normal. It’s important to check your hearing regularly.
If you experience any of the following signs, then we’d advise taking the online screening:
- You strain to hear conversations
- You have difficulty hearing people in social situations
- You feel like people are mumbling
- You feel fatigued from the effort of trying to hear
- Your friends and family have commented on your hearing ability
- You ask people to repeat what they’ve just said
- Your TV volume is higher than before
If so, then the quick online screening is the perfect opportunity to take things one step further.
