Too busy right now?

Somewhere too noisy?

We can send you a reminder to check your hearing later…

You’ll receive a single text message at 7pm. We’ll only use your number for this reminder. You won’t receive any marketing messages.

The online hearing test is for you if you’re aged 18 or over and have not been diagnosed with hearing loss.

The test measures how well you can hear speech when there’s background noise.

You’ll find out if you need to see someone about your hearing, and get our advice on what to do next.

Before you begin

You’ll hear constant white noise during the test. If you’ll find this uncomfortable, don’t take the test.

You’ll get a more accurate result if you use headphones or earphones rather than built-in speakers.

Take the hearing test somewhere you won’t be disturbed.

We’re RNID, an independent charity supporting the 18 million people in the UK who are deaf or have hearing loss or tinnitus.

To get a more accurate result, use headphones or earphones rather than built-in speakers. And make sure to take the test somewhere quiet.

White noise is played during the hearing test. If you’ll find this uncomfortable – for example, due to tinnitus – don’t take the test.

You will get your results here as soon as you finish the check. We can also send them by email.
