1. Put on headphones in a quiet environment
2. Click "Start Test" to begin

5. Repeat for all frequencies in both ears
An audiogram is a graph that shows the softest sounds you can hear at different frequencies (pitches). It's the fundamental tool used by audiologists to assess hearing ability and diagnose hearing loss.
The vertical axis (y-axis) represents hearing level in decibels (dB HL), with the softest sounds at the top (-10 or 0 dB HL) and louder sounds toward the bottom. The horizontal axis (x-axis) represents frequency in Hertz (Hz), from low pitches on the left to high pitches on the right.
This is a simulation for educational purposes only. It does not replace a professional hearing evaluation. If you suspect hearing loss, please consult an audiologist.
