Oracle Hearing CenterHearing Screener
Free · 8 minutes · Headphones recommended

A screener built the way real hearing tests are.

This tool combines three things audiologists actually look at: how hearing loss shows up in your daily life, how well you detect quiet tones across the frequency range, and how well you understand speech when there's noise in the room.

What to expect

  • 1A short questionnaire about your communication habits and the situations where hearing feels hardest.
  • 2A pure-tone check — eight tones, one at a time. You'll set each to the quietest level you can comfortably hear.
  • 3A speech-in-noise check — short words play over rising background noise, and you pick the word you heard from a list.

This is a screening tool, not a diagnostic hearing test. It's meant to help you decide whether it's worth booking a full evaluation — it doesn't replace one. Results depend on your device's speakers, headphones, and volume, so treat them as a general signal rather than a precise measurement.

Getting ready · Volume check

Set your volume once, then leave it alone.

Press play below and adjust until the sound is clearly audible and comfortable — not straining, not blasting. Keep your device at this level for the rest of the screener.

Step 1 of 3 · Lifestyle questionnaire

Tell us about your everyday listening.

Hearing loss usually shows up in behavior before it shows up on a test. These answers help us read your results in context.

Do people around you seem to mumble more than they used to?

Do you turn the TV or radio up louder than others prefer?

Do you often ask people to repeat themselves?

This screening estimates tone detection and speech-in-noise performance using your own device and is not a calibrated audiometric exam. Only a comprehensive evaluation by a licensed audiologist can diagnose hearing loss and its cause.
