How to take the online hearing test step by step
01
Find a quiet moment
The test only consists of questions, but it is important that you can concentrate and answer calmly, without rushing or interruptions.
02
Answer honestly
There are no “right” or “wrong” answers. The more honest your answers are, the more useful the interpretation of the result will be.
03
Complete all questions
The questionnaire is designed to assess different listening situations: noise, group conversations, telephone, television, etc. It is important not to leave any questions unanswered.
04
Enter your details to receive the result
Upon completion, we will ask for your name and contact details. This way we can send you a summary of your result. If the test indicates a risk of hearing loss, we may contact you to offer a hearing assessment at one of our centres.
05
Review the final recommendations
Depending on your risk level, we will indicate whether it is advisable to have an in-person hearing test, how often to check your hearing, and what steps you can take from now on.
Why is it important to check your hearing health?
Hearing loss is the main modifiable risk factor for dementia, and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 430 million people worldwide live with disabling hearing loss.
Warning signs of possible hearing loss
If you recognise yourself in several of these situations, this online hearing test could be an important first step:
- You feel that people “mumble” or do not enunciate clearly
- You turn up the volume on the television or radio more than before
- You find it difficult to follow conversations in groups or in noisy places
- You frequently ask people to repeat what they have said
- You have ringing in your ears (tinnitus)
- You feel fatigued at the end of the day due to the effort you make to listen
Common risk factors
Some situations increase the likelihood of having hearing problems:
- Age: age-related hearing loss is very common from the age of 60 onwards
- Exposure to loud noises (working in noisy environments, concerts, prolonged use of headphones at high volume)
- Family history of hearing loss
- Repeated ear infections or certain diseases and ototoxic medications
Leaving hearing loss untreated can affect
Social life
It generates isolation and apathy due to difficulties in maintaining conversations
Emotional well-being
It ends up generating stress, frustration, and daily tiredness
Cognitive health
It is associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline when not corrected
