What the hearing tone check does
Before judging a quiet tone, check that your output works with the left and right headphone test. For a chosen pitch or a sound file, use the online tone generator.
RANGE
Listen to low and high tones
Move through tones gradually and note which frequencies are easy or difficult to hear.
COMPARE
Check each ear separately
Compare both ears at the same comfortable level using the same headphones.
IMPORTANT
This is not a medical hearing test
A browser tone check cannot diagnose hearing loss or replace a professional assessment.
When to try a hearing frequency check
Use this for curiosity, basic comparison between ears, or checking whether a headphone system plays different tones. Do not use it for diagnosis.
Tips for listening to test tones
- Keep volume comfortable.
- Do not chase tones by raising volume.

- Seek professional advice for persistent concerns.
Hearing tone check questions
Is this a medical hearing test?
No. It is an educational browser tool and cannot diagnose hearing loss.
Should I raise the volume for a missing tone?
Do not keep raising volume to force a result. Stay at a comfortable level.
Why are high tones harder to hear?
Hearing sensitivity, age, headphones, and device output can all affect high-frequency perception.
