How does the online hearing test work?

You wear stereo headphones and hear a pulsing beep in one ear at a time — right ear first, then left — at 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz. At each of the 12 steps you set the slider to the quietest level you can still just hear.

How do I read my audiogram?

Higher on the chart means you heard a softer sound. Each point is a slider level from 0 to 100, where lower means more sensitive; an average of 30 or less shows as the top result, and a gap of 25 or more between ears is flagged.

Is it as accurate as a hearing test at a clinic?

No. A browser can't be calibrated to real decibels (dB HL), so the numbers are relative and change with your headphones, device and volume. Treat it as a curiosity check, not a diagnosis.

When should I get my hearing checked?

If a poor result or a large left–right difference keeps showing up with good headphones in a quiet room, see an ENT doctor or an audiologist. Sudden hearing loss in one ear, ringing or ear pain should be checked by a doctor promptly, whatever an online test says.

Simple Test

Hearing Test (Audiogram)

A pure-tone hearing check that maps each ear on its own. Find the softest tone you hear at six frequencies and plot your personal audiogram — headphones on, a couple of minutes.

GIGGLEUS HEARING TEST

Hearing Test (Audiogram)

A quick pure-tone hearing check that maps each ear separately. It plays test tones at six standard frequencies (250 Hz–8 kHz) in your left and right ear, finds the softest level you can still hear at each, and plots them on your own audiogram chart. Grab headphones and get your hearing map in a couple of minutes.

🎧 Headphones are required — each ear is tested separately

👂 Make sure left and right sides are worn correctly

🤫 Find a quiet room with no background noise

🔊 Set your system volume to a comfortable, moderate level first

First, play a test sound and set a comfortable volume.

⚠️ Not a medical audiometry exam. Browsers can't be calibrated, so this measures relative thresholds only and results depend heavily on your device, headphones and volume. If you feel any discomfort, stop and lower the volume. For real concerns, see an ENT doctor or an audiologist.

The Giggleus online hearing test checks each ear on its own. With stereo headphones on, you hear a soft pulsing beep in one ear at a time — right ear first, then left — at the six frequencies used in standard pure-tone audiometry: 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz. At each of the 12 steps you move a volume slider to the quietest point where the beep is still just audible.

Your answers are drawn as a personal audiogram: one line per ear, with softer sounds plotted higher, the same layout a clinic uses. You also get an average level for each ear, a note if your two ears differ a lot or if the high frequencies (4–8 kHz) drop off, and a result card to share. It takes about two minutes in a quiet room.

A browser can't be calibrated to real decibel levels, so this is a relative self-check for curiosity, not a medical hearing test — results shift with your headphones, device and volume. Keep the volume comfortable and stop if a tone feels too loud. If you're worried about your hearing, see an ENT doctor or an audiologist.
