Is one of your ears better than the other?
This test will check whether your two ears are equally sensitive to sound. Please use your best pair of headphones and make sure that you put the left earphone (usually marked ‘L’) on your left ear.
You will start by listening to 5 tones. For each tone, you will need to write down your result as you go along. You will then be asked to flip your earphones (i.e. put the left earphone on the right ear and vice versa) and listen to the same tones again.
To keep track of your results, you may want to sketch a copy of the table below.
