Try short tones and record whether you noticed them. Your equipment, volume, surroundings, and hearing all affect the result. This uncalibrated demonstration cannot measure hearing loss, estimate a reliable hearing age, or replace an audiogram.
A short listening check
Not a medical test. Use a comfortable, low device volume. Do not turn it up to hear a missing tone. No hearing age or diagnosis can be inferred.
Ready. Set your device volume low first.
How to use this test
Use a quiet setting and a comfortable, low device volume. Never raise the volume to chase a tone you cannot hear.
Play a short tone, then choose Heard it or Did not hear it. You can change the frequency or clear the notes.
Treat the notes as observations of this setup. If you have a hearing concern, contact a qualified hearing professional.
Why we do not give you a hearing age
A browser cannot establish a known sound pressure level at your ear. Headphones, device processing, and volume controls vary too much. A maximum audible frequency is not a reliable age measurement, and failing to hear a tone does not establish hearing loss.
When to stop
Stop if a tone is uncomfortable, if your ears ring, or if you notice any pain. Repeating louder tones is not a useful way to validate a result. For sudden hearing changes or ongoing symptoms, seek professional advice instead of using an online frequency demonstration.
A few things worth knowing.
Is this a medical hearing test?
No. It is an uncalibrated listening demonstration. It does not determine hearing thresholds, diagnose hearing loss, or provide a valid hearing age.
Why can I not hear 16,000 Hz?
Your headphones or speakers may filter the signal; device settings, ambient sound, and hearing also matter. A browser test cannot isolate those factors. Do not increase volume to force an audible result.
Should I use headphones?
Headphones can make left and right routing clearer, but they do not calibrate the test. Keep them at a comfortable low volume and stop if the sound causes discomfort.
Are my listening notes saved?
Notes stay in this page’s memory and clear when you reload or leave. We do not upload them or use them to make a medical assessment.
