Testing for background noise
(5 seconds remaining...)

There's too much noise in your background.

Please move to a quieter location and click "ok" when you're ready.

Your microphone could not be accessed.

Warning: your results may be inaccurate, because we cannot determine the level of your background noise.

It seems you are having trouble finding a quiet area, or your microphone is too sensitive.

Warning: your results may be inaccurate if you continue with the test.

Put on your listening device, and set your device volume to 100%.

For the best results, please remain in a noise-free location throughout the test.

Left ear progress:

Press the button below as soon as you hear a tone, even if it is very soft.

In which ear(s) do you hear this tone?

What ear do you perceive as your better ear? (This will determine which ear is tested first.)

It looks like you are having trouble hearing the tone. Before you continue, make sure your earbuds / headphones / Airpods®️ are properly connected, and set your device volume to 100% (maximum).

This tone should only be heard in one ear. Before you continue, make sure your earbuds / headphones / Airpods®️ are properly connected, and set your device volume to 100% (maximum).

It looks like you have your listening device earpieces reversed. Before you continue, please put the right earpiece in the right ear.
