Online Hearing Test

Test your hearing range across 8 frequencies from 125 Hz to 16,000 Hz. Use headphones for the most accurate results. For each frequency, play the tone and mark whether you can hear it. This is a basic screening tool — consult an audiologist for a medical-grade assessment.

How the Online Hearing Test Works

This test plays pure sine wave tones at 8 standard audiometric frequencies using the Web Audio API'sOscillatorNode,GainNode, andStereoPannerNode. Each tone plays for 3 seconds. Use the left/right ear selector to test each ear independently with headphones. Mark each frequency as "Can Hear" or "Cannot Hear" to generate your results summary.

Typical Hearing Range by Age

Under 20

20 Hz – 20 kHz

Full range typically audible. High-frequency sensitivity at its peak.

20s – 30s

20 Hz – 18 kHz

Minor high-frequency rolloff begins. All speech-critical frequencies remain intact.

40s – 50s

20 Hz – 14 kHz

Noticeable reduction above 12–14 kHz. Some difficulty with very high-pitched sounds.

60+

20 Hz – 8–10 kHz

Significant reduction in high-frequency sensitivity. Speech clarity may be affected.

These are general averages. Individual hearing varies significantly. Noise exposure, genetics, and medical history all affect hearing range.
