How well do you hear in a noisy room?

Restaurants and family dinners are usually where hearing starts to slip first. This quick check plays numbers over restaurant noise and shows you the point where voices start to blur.

Works best with headphones in a quiet place. This is a screening for your information, not a medical hearing test.

Step 1 of 3 · Sound check

Put on headphones, then press play.

No headphones? Hold your phone to your ear, or turn the volume up on your computer.

Set your volume so the voice sounds comfortable, like normal conversation.

Check that your device isn't on silent, the volume is up, and your headphones are connected. Then press play again. Still nothing? Skip the listening part and answer three quick questions instead.
Step 2 of 3 · How it works

Listen for three numbers.

  • 1A voice says three numbers, like 4 · 7 · 2.
  • 2Tap the numbers you heard. Not sure? Just guess.
  • 3The restaurant noise gets louder each round. 12 rounds, about 2 minutes.
