Please note that only a hearing test carried out by a qualified audiologist and/or a consultation with an ENT specialist can provide an accurate profile of your hearing ability. This test does not replace a professional assessment, so we recommend visiting an Amplifon clinic if you have any concerns about your hearing health.
Just as it’s useful to know your vision or blood pressure, understanding your Hearing Number is a helpful step in maintaining your health. Healthy hearing keeps you connected to the world around you, supports social interactions, and helps prevent isolation. It also plays a role in avoiding issues like cognitive decline, mental fatigue, and stress, which can arise from difficulties in hearing.
The results of the online hearing test provide a Hearing Number, ranging from 1 to 100, which indicates your hearing ability. A low number close to 1 suggests good hearing, while higher numbers may indicate some level of hearing difficulty.
This system offers a quick overview of your hearing health and suggests the next steps to take for maintaining or improving your hearing.
Your Hearing Number gives an initial overview of your hearing, but for a more detailed understanding, we recommend booking a free, personalised hearing test at one of our Amplifon clinics. Our expert hearing care professionals will carry out a thorough assessment, identify any issues, and suggest tailored solutions to support your hearing health.

When taking an online hearing test, it’s important to keep its limitations in mind.
Despite technological advances, online tests should only be used as a starting point. Anyone who suspects they may have hearing loss should consult a specialist. Booking an appointment online is free, simple, and only requires answering a few questions.
Your Hearing Number simply indicates the quietest sound you can hear. Everyone has two Hearing Numbers: one for the right ear and one for the left. These numbers can range from -10 to 100 decibels (dB). The higher the Hearing Number, the louder the sound needs to be for you to hear it.
Your hearing number will change over time, and this is completely normal. Everyone's hearing changes over time as the parts of the inner ear responsible for sound perception wear down throughout life. Children can hear very quiet sounds, often with Hearing Numbers below 0 dB. As we age, our hearing changes, and Hearing Numbers typically increase.
The PTA4 is one of the methods used by professionals to measure hearing. You may have heard hearing loss described as mild, moderate, or severe. The PTA4 defines these general categories as follows:

For a more thorough examination, we recommend booking an appointment at a nearby Amplifon clinic.
