Welcome to the Aotearoa New Zealand Hearing Screening Test
This quick and simple test checks your hearing. It usually takes 4 to 5 minutes, and tests both your ears at once.
The test looks at how well you hear speech when there is background noise. Trouble hearing in noise is often one of the first signs of hearing loss.
This test gives an accurate result about 80% of the time and is intended as a guide only. It does not replace a full hearing check by an audiologist.
