This hearing test (numerical triple test) offers a simple, anonymous and non-binding way to check the condition of your hearing. The screening procedure determines how well speech can be understood in noisy environments.

During the test you will hear multiple combinations of three digits spoken with background noise. Simply enter the three digits you have understood after each number combination using the number field on the screen.

Depending on your answers, this process will be repeated up to 30 times. Three digits are randomly reproduced in each presentation. The more often you repeat the numbers correctly, the quieter the language will be and the more difficult the test will be. After the test you will receive an assessment of how well you can understand speech in background noise and suggestions for further steps.

The procedure does not replace a medical diagnosis, but it does test your hearing in an everyday situation and can therefore give you an indication of what your hearing is like.
