Hearing test online (audiometry)
Check your hearing, get an audiogram, similar to tone threshold audiometry at a doctor up to 20000 Hz. Hearing test online, audio test, test ears at home (air conduction).
The sound when checking should be somewhat unpleasant, but not harmful when using regular headphones.
Video instruction how to pass the test
The test is identical, only the phone produces a quieter sound, which is taken into account
Use headphones (preferably wired)
Check the audible range
Select the option of the number of checked frequencies (full option - in detail up to 20000Hz)
Select volume step
Set the step at which the volume changes during a hearing test
Select ear for testing
(then you can check the another)
Always keep the volume at max, 100% on your device. Do the test with headphones!
The masked test should be chosen to check the worst ear when there is a huge difference between the ears.
Do not change the volume of your device! Maximum, 100%
Look for the minimum audible volume (closer to 10dB) at each frequency is heard each time. If you do not hear at 90dB - only then press "I do not hear"

About hearing loss assessment
The assessment of the state of hearing is carried out according to the WHO standard: only the speech range is taken into account, from 250Hz to 4000Hz max to detect hearing loss.
Hearing test available for children. It is worth choosing a children's hearing test if the child is somewhere under 6 years old. The ability to quickly check the minimum of the necessary points for a full understanding of the situation with hearing. Often there is a chance to check from 3-4 years old at home using ordinary headphones.
In fact, what matters is how a person hears in the entire audible range from 20Hz to 20000Hz (20K).
Hearing impairment, bad hearing is not only a reason for hearing loss, but also the cause of tinnitus (noise, squeak, ringing in the ears), autophony, hyperacusis, problems with the vestibular apparatus and more.
This test was created in order to not only test your hearing abilities. And, first of all, to track objective progress with hearing. As a general rule, home hearing measurements are no less accurate than those taken by a doctor. You can get an audiogram for free.
As a rule, when using a phone and really any headphones (even wireless ones), you can accurately find out the state of hearing from 125Hz to 12000Hz. When using high-quality headphones, you can test your hearing from 41Hz to 16000Hz, or even 20000Hz. The maximum test volume is approximately 90dB (0dB is taken to be 20µPa).
During an illness or with a common cold, it is expected that hearing will naturally decrease to 10-15dB at the moment, especially at high frequencies
Hearing test can be done with speakers: then the results are more likely to be bone conduction. It usually doesn't make sense to check through the phone's speaker. Available to check separately the left and right ears, binaural hearing.
