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 exhausting to follow conversations in busy 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.

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
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 100% money-back guarantee.
Do affordable hearing aids work as well as hearing aids that cost thousands?
In a case study by the Better Hearing Institute, direct-to-consumer hearing aids (like MDHearing) are just as beneficial as traditional, extremely expensive hearing aids from clinics. Best of all, they don’t cost $2,000-$6,000 or more a pair.
MDHearing manufactures real, FDA-registered medical devices designed to assist individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss (over 93% of Americans with hearing loss) right out of the box—for just a fraction of the cost. Our medical device logistics and manufacturing facility is located in Chicago (FDA Establishment #3008941158), and undergoes the same rigorous testing as every other FDA hearing aid facility.
We focus on providing excellent, high-quality devices that our customers will actually use. Buyers who are looking for fancy extra features such as TV streaming, or who don’t mind spending thousands of dollars, may prefer traditional hearing centers.
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.
No amount of hearing loss is harmless and improving your hearing will instantly improve your quality of life. It’s not until after you put on a pair of hearing aids that you start to realize how much of your life you were missing out on.
Plus, the earlier you start using hearing aids, the easier it will be for you brain to adjust to the amplified sounds. With MDHearing, your satisfaction is guaranteed so you have nothing to lose by trying the latest hearing technology in the comfort of your home today.
Who is MDHearing?
MDHearing is America’s #1 direct hearing aid company, with over 2 million hearing aids sold. Nearly a decade and half ago, MDHearing was founded by an Ear, Nose & Throat physician who was sick of seeing his patients go without hearing aids because of sky-high pricing. He worked with audiologists to create the MDHearing line of affordable, high-quality hearing aids that cost a fraction of the price of traditional hearing clinics.
We’re passionate about helping people with hearing loss get affordable hearing aid solutions, and we’re dedicated to making your experience with us better than any other hearing care provider. We offer licensed, U.S.-based telephone support Monday through Friday and 24-hour email support, so you can contact our dedicated support team at any time of the day or night.
Am I too young for hearing aids?
Many people fear hearing aids will make them look “old” and forgo improving their hearing because of what other people might think.
Hearing loss impacts Americans of every age. While many people are diagnosed with age-related hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss (caused by exposure to loud noises) affects about 15% of the U.S. population. Many who work in loud factories or construction sites, or who participate in loud recreational activities like target shooting and hunting, concert-going, and attending sporting events, develop hearing loss regardless of their age.
The reality is, everyone notices when they can’t communicate with you and no one looks at the back of your ear. If you want to feel young, having the best hearing possible is the best way.
