Know your hearing health in one simple score

Why take a hearing test?

Understanding your hearing health is just as essential as tracking your vision or heart rate. Good hearing helps you stay engaged with conversations, enjoy everyday sounds, and maintain emotional and cognitive well-being. When hearing begins to slip, it often does so gradually—making it easy to overlook until it starts impacting daily life. That’s where an online hearing test can help, as it offers a fast, private, and accessible way to check in on your hearing from home.

Limitations to keep in mind

While online hearing tests are a helpful first step, they have limitations. Results can be affected by background noise, headphone quality, or device settings. These tests cannot replace a full diagnostic evaluation by a licensed audiologist, who can provide a more accurate and personalized assessment.

How to read your results

The results are presented as a Hearing Number from 1 to 100, reflecting your hearing ability. Everyone has two Hearing Numbers—one for each ear—ranging from -10 to 85 decibels (dB) or more, with a higher score indicating healthy hearing, while a lower score suggests you may need further evaluation

Use this information as a guide to make informed decisions about your next steps.

PTA4 and hearing loss

The Hearing Number, also known as PTA4 (Pure Tone Average), is used by professionals to categorize the severity of hearing loss.

  • Mild: 20 to 34 dB
  • Moderate: 35 to 49 dB
  • Moderate-Severe: 50 to 64 dB
  • Severe: 65 to 79 dB

Hearing changes with age

Your Hearing Number changes naturally as part of the aging process. Over time, the sensory cells in the inner ear gradually decline in function, making it harder to detect softer sounds. While these changes are common and often gradual, tracking your Hearing Number regularly can help you stay informed and take early action if hearing loss begins to affect your daily life.

What's the next step?

If your results indicate a potential hearing loss, an appropriate next step is to arrange a free comprehensive hearing evaluation at one of our Miracle-Ear centers. A licensed audiologist will conduct a thorough assessment, provide an accurate diagnosis, and discuss suitable treatment options

Frequently asked questions

Online hearing tests can provide a helpful initial indication of your hearing ability, but they are not as accurate as in-person evaluations conducted by licensed audiologists. While useful for screening, online tests should be followed by a professional assessment for a precise diagnosis and tailored treatment.

No special equipment is required to take an online hearing test—just a pair of good-quality headphones and a quiet environment. Using headphones helps ensure that the sounds are delivered clearly to each ear, providing more accurate results

Regular hearing tests are important because hearing can gradually decline over time without noticeable symptoms. Early detection allows you to address any changes before they impact your daily life, communication, and overall well- being.

If your online hearing test indicates potential hearing loss, don’t be alarmed. It’s important to remember that this test is only a preliminary screening. The next step is to schedule a comprehensive hearing evaluation with a licensed audiologist who can provide a detailed diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment options tailored to your needs
