[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":-1},["ShallowReactive",2],{"content-seo:hearingTest":3},{"description":4,"seo":5,"faq":8},"The Giggleus online hearing test checks each ear on its own. With stereo headphones on, you hear a soft pulsing beep in one ear at a time — right ear first, then left — at the six frequencies used in standard pure-tone audiometry: 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz. At each of the 12 steps you move a volume slider to the quietest point where the beep is still just audible.\n\nYour answers are drawn as a personal audiogram: one line per ear, with softer sounds plotted higher, the same layout a clinic uses. You also get an average level for each ear, a note if your two ears differ a lot or if the high frequencies (4–8 kHz) drop off, and a result card to share. It takes about two minutes in a quiet room.\n\nA browser can't be calibrated to real decibel levels, so this is a relative self-check for curiosity, not a medical hearing test — results shift with your headphones, device and volume. Keep the volume comfortable and stop if a tone feels too loud. If you're worried about your hearing, see an ENT doctor or an audiologist.",{"ogTitle":6,"ogDescription":7},"Online Hearing Test | Audiogram for Each Ear - Giggleus","👂 Test each ear separately at six frequencies from 250 Hz to 8 kHz and get your own audiogram in about two minutes with headphones. A free, uncalibrated self-check — not a diagnosis.",[9,12,15,18],{"question":10,"answer":11},"How does the online hearing test work?","You wear stereo headphones and hear a pulsing beep in one ear at a time — right ear first, then left — at 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz. At each of the 12 steps you set the slider to the quietest level you can still just hear.",{"question":13,"answer":14},"How do I read my audiogram?","Higher on the chart means you heard a softer sound. Each point is a slider level from 0 to 100, where lower means more sensitive; an average of 30 or less shows as the top result, and a gap of 25 or more between ears is flagged.",{"question":16,"answer":17},"Is it as accurate as a hearing test at a clinic?","No. A browser can't be calibrated to real decibels (dB HL), so the numbers are relative and change with your headphones, device and volume. Treat it as a curiosity check, not a diagnosis.",{"question":19,"answer":20},"When should I get my hearing checked?","If a poor result or a large left–right difference keeps showing up with good headphones in a quiet room, see an ENT doctor or an audiologist. Sudden hearing loss in one ear, ringing or ear pain should be checked by a doctor promptly, whatever an online test says."]
