Free online hearing test

The RNID , now known as Action on Hearing Loss , provides a useful free online screening test for hearing loss here .  Though it is necessarily 'broad brush' it is well validated and does give a pretty useful indication of significant problems.  The results will be accompanied by useful advice and if demonstrating a deficiency you should make an appointment to see a GP and we can refer you for a full NHS hearing test locally to find out exactly what the problem is and what can be done (for instance hearing aids which nowadays can be sophisticated and discrete, even on the NHS). So if you a re you having trouble communicating with friends or family or are finding it increasingly difficult to communicate in a noisy workplace, please take this test for a better idea of the scale of your problem. And look at this website which is well supplied with good advice and helpful information.
