While taking a free online hearing test might seem tempting, if you’re looking for an accurate description of your current hearing health then we wouldn’t recommend it. If you aren’t in a controlled space, then background noise and distractions may negatively impact your results. Additionally, these free tests rely on your sound system, and if your computer or headphones don’t work perfectly then it may affect your results.Free online hearing tests also lack context and in-depth analysis. As an example, most will not include:- Physical problems such as earwax build up- Measuring how sounds move through your ear canal- Measuring how your eardrum moves- Comfortable listening levels - Speech/word recognitionLastly, free online hearing tests often try to push you into hearing aids, without knowing for certain that you require them.If you'd rather an accurate analysis of your hearing health, book our diagnostic clinical hearing tests in Melbourne today and receive unparalleled hearing care from our highly trained audiologists.
