Preparing for the test

This hearing test is free and takes only three minutes! You can trust our results.

Regular hearing tests are important for a variety of reasons, including identifying hearing loss early, which can make it easier to treat.

After you take the test, we recommend you follow up with your hearing care professional for an in-person test. An in-person test will let you know the cause, the type of hearing loss, and its severity. An in-person test also helps your hearing care professional program your hearing aids in the way that works best for you.

To prepare for the test:

  • Find a quiet place.
  • Put on your headphones.
  • Check the sound.
  • Follow the prompts on screen!
 

Why take the test?

The online hearing test est offers a quick, convenient, and user-friendly way to assess your hearing health in just three minutes from the comfort of your home. It helps with early detection of potential hearing loss and provides clear recommendations for next steps, such as consulting a hearing care professional for a more comprehensive evaluation.

While it’s not a replacement for a full audiological assessment, it’s an accessible tool to gain initial insights into your hearing and take proactive steps if needed.

How Phonak can help

Phonak hearing aids don’t just improve hearing—they can also be life-changing for your overall well-being. Struggling to hear in social settings or everyday conversations can make people feel isolated and even lead to anxiety or frustration. 

Phonak hearing aids are designed to bring back that sense of connection by amplifying sounds clearly and naturally, making it easier to stay engaged in conversations and enjoy the little moments, whether you’re talking with friends, listening to music, or simply hearing nature around you. When you can truly hear what’s happening around you, it’s easier to feel involved, connected, and confident in social settings, which does wonders for your mental health and happiness.
