A brief guide to taking Hearing Wales online hearing test

- After each question click the ‘Next’ button.
- You will then be asked a few questions about your hearing in different situations.
- After completing the Hearing Wales online hearing test you will be asked if you want a call back from an audiologist and to submit your email for your results.
