When should you get a hearing test? (Quick guide)

Baseline & routine screening intervals

Many organizations recommend routine hearing screening even before you notice a problem. One commonly cited interval is to screen adults at least every decade through age 50, then every 3 years after 50 (or more often if you have risk factors like noise exposure or certain medications).

Evidence: American Speech-Language-Hearing Association screening interval summary compiled by NCBI.

Get checked sooner if you notice changes

If you’re answering “yes” to multiple “Do I have hearing loss?” self-check questions (TV volume, group conversations, feeling left out, etc.), the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) recommends considering a hearing check and next-step options with a hearing health professional.

Evidence: NIDCD age-related hearing loss guidance.

Tinnitus (ringing) — when it’s urgent

Tinnitus is common, but some combinations are urgent. If tinnitus happens with sudden hearing loss, vertigo, facial weakness, or follows a head injury, seek emergency evaluation. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is treated as a medical emergency and may have a treatment window as soon as within 2 weeks for initial steroid therapy.
