Why take our 5-minute hearing screening?

You might have noticed you’re asking people to repeat themselves more often. Or maybe family members have mentioned the TV volume lately. These small signs could mean it’s time to check your hearing, but you’re not ready to commit to a full appointment yet. That’s exactly what our 5-minute screening is for. It’s a quick, no-pressure way to get clarity on whether your hearing has changed and if a full assessment would be helpful.  No obligation. No sales pitch. Just straightforward information to help you make the right choice.

The best part? Our free 2-week trial lets you experience different devices in your real life before deciding. No guesswork. No pressure. Just the right fit for you.

“The entire team was very professional, knowledgeable and welcoming. Rachel was clearly very passionate about improving my hearing and dedicated to finding the best outcome for my individual needs.”

Take the Online Hearing Test

Quick, private, and available anytime—day or night.

Our online screening uses simple audio prompts to check how well you’re hearing different tones and speech sounds. 

You’ll need a quiet space and headphones for the most accurate results.

The test takes about 5 minutes, and you’ll get your results immediately. If the screening indicates hearing loss, we’ll guide you on what to do next.

Hear it for yourself

Glenda Buckland

“My introduction to Shire Hearing was with my mother who lives in Cronulla, I live in Wollongong. Rachel was very caring with my mother who will be 99 on Anzac Day 2020.

My experience with hearing aids started when I mentioned my tinnitus, during the conversation I realised Rachel was very knowledgeable and she told me when I started to lose my hearing, wearing hearing aids would help. They did!”

Nella Clarke

We had a lovely experience from booking to assessment. The clinic is accessible and they had loads of availability at the Engadine location. The assessor was gentle and relaxed and created a calm and fun environment for our child. 5 stars 🌟

Casey Jo

Honestly the most amazing place to get your hearing tests done ✅. I’ve never felt more welcomed & safe before & highly highly recommend the lovely Krystal @ Engadine Clinic. Such great service and knowledge , I couldn’t recommend enough. Please choose Shire hearing Engadine for your next appointment ❤️.

Mikayla

What a great and calm experience! Krystal connected straight away with my toddler son, She took the time to play and engage with my son other than just for testing.

Usually my son is hard to get to cooperate with visual assessments of his ears, but he was happy and comfortable with Krystal.

Would highly recommend Shire Hearing Engadine!

Emma De Leon

Krystal at Shire Hearing was fantastic with our two neurodiverse boys. She had them cooperating, engaged and interested. And she picked up a previously unknown issue so we can look into it further. Fantastic experience and service!

Rosanne Egan

They are amazing. Any issue with hearing aids they fix for free. Even if it’s just changing the filters. When I was choosing my new hearing aids they lent programmable ones to try and compare. I got the top ones in the end. The programs on the App are also designed just for me which helps adjusting in noisy environments.
