Do I Need A Hearing Test?
Hearing changes usually happen so slowly that you might not even realize what you are missing, like the voices of grandchildren or the soft sounds of nature. If you’re asking yourself "do I need a hearing test?”, see if you recognize any of these common everyday signs:
- You can hear people talking, but it sounds like they are mumbling.
- You find it tiring to follow conversations in restaurants or family gatherings.
- Family members or friends complain that you turn up the television or radio volume too high.
- You find yourself constantly saying "what?" or asking people to repeat themselves.
If any of these sound familiar, taking a quick hearing test at home is a simple, stress-free way to get answers and start feeling connected again.
About Our Online Hearing Test

This test is a great first step to check your hearing health, but it does not replace a thorough evaluation from an audiologist. If you have concerns about your hearing, we advise you to consult a professional hearing specialist for a full examination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a hearing test? What are the early signs of hearing loss?
Hearing changes typically happen gradually, so it’s easy to miss early on. Common warning signs include feeling like people are mumbling, straining to hear in noisy places, turning the TV volume up, or missing high-pitched sounds like bird chirps or a child’s voice. If this sounds familiar, taking our quick online home test is a free first step to getting back into the conversation.
Do I need headphones to take an online hearing test?
Yes. Standard phone or laptop speakers cannot test each ear separately. Because hearing loss can affect your ears differently, wearing headphones or earbuds allows the test to properly check your hearing levels in both the left and right ear.
What do my online hearing test results mean?
Immediately after completing the 8-minute check, our software will show your results on both a simple, easy-to-understand chart and an audiogram. It will clearly let you know if your hearing falls into a normal, mild, moderate, or severe range, focusing on the specific sound frequencies needed to understand clear speech.
Can I use my online hearing test results to buy hearing aids?
Yes. Under FDA regulations, adults 18 and older do not need a hearing test to purchase over-the-counter hearing aids. However, MDHearing recommends an online hearing screening in order to provide helpful hearing aid suggestions based on your results. Our remote care team is also available to help you choose the right device style and settings for your lifestyle and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my hearing bad enough to need a hearing aid?
Hearing aids are not just for those with severe hearing loss. In fact, most hearing aids are designed for mild to moderate hearing loss.
Almost anyone with any level of hearing loss should seriously consider wearing hearing aids. Even a mild degree of untreated hearing loss can increase the risk of social isolation, hospitalizations, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease—not to mention missing out on conversations and weakening relationships with loved ones.
Plus, the earlier you start using hearing aids, the easier it will be for you brain to adjust to the amplified sounds. With MDHearing, you have a 60-day trial so you can experience better hearing in your everyday life. If they're not the right fit for you, you can return them for a refund.
How does MDHearing compare to hearing aids from a clinic?
At MDHearing, we're dedicated to bringing Americans the latest technology at the lowest price and helping as many people as possible hear better. We manufacture our own hearing aids and sell directly to you. That means we can keep costs low and pass the savings onto you by removing the middlemen.
Hearing clinics can charge over $5,000 for similarly featured hearing aids. With MDHearing, you're getting high-quality hearing at an honest price delivered directly to your door.
No appointments, no trips across town, no prescriptions. Just the best hearing at the best price—backed by licensed hearing professionals and a 60-day risk free trial.
We focus on high-quality devices + expert support, without the overhead—so you get effective hearing care at a more accessible price.
Will MDHearing work for me?
Every MDHearing hearing aid has been designed by doctors to assist individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss (over 94% of Americans with hearing loss) right out of the box.
We are confident you will love our hearing aids—and our licensed hearing professionals are here to support you and ensure you are comfortable and confident with your hearing aids. Plus, every MDHearing device comes with a 60-day risk-free trial so you have plenty of time to make sure they’re the right fit.
If you have severe hearing loss, we recommend you visit an audiologist or a hearing clinic for a comprehensive hearing test and a prescription hearing aid fitting.
Are these real hearing aids or amplifiers?
MDHearing devices are NOT amplifiers. These are real hearing aids that are registered with the FDA and meet all of the FDA guidelines for over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. They can be fit without a prescription and treat those 18 and older with mild to moderate hearing loss.
Are MDHearing's hearing aids easy to use?
Yes! Our hearing aids are designed to be simple and easy to use. You’ll get clear, step-by-step instructions to guide you through setup, and have the option to schedule a free setup appointment with a licensed professional if you’d like one-on-one assistance.
Simple controls on the hearing aids allow you to adjust the volume and settings with the touch of a finger. At any point that you have questions, our licensed support team is here to help.
If you choose one of our smartphone-compatible models, you can control your sound settings through your phone with the MDHearing app. The app can also walk you through a simple personalization process and automatically adjusts the hearing aids for your specific hearing.
