3 Million and Counting: The Hearing Check the World Can't Stop Taking

Right now, someone is checking their hearing with eargym

Every single day, more than 3,000 people press play on our Ear Age Check. And it has just smashed 3 million views.

One of the biggest hearing awareness moments ever. One check. One minute. Free. From your sofa.

No big budget. Just a free, one-minute, awareness-raising ear age check that people can't stop sharing: with friends, with family, across group chats and dinner tables. Very few organisations in hearing health reach this many people. We're doing it every single day.

3 million checks that might never have happened

Most of us never check our hearing until something goes wrong.

Pop on your headphones and find out how old your ears sound compared with your real age?  Some people find their ears are younger than their chronological age. Others discover their ears are a decade older than they are. Either way, everyone starts paying attention.

And that's just the start. When you download our app on your smartphone, you can take a 3-minute medical-grade speech in-noise hearing check which will help you understand your result. After that, you will also be able to practise your listening skills, and protect your hearing for years to come.

Why it matters to you

Turned the TV up lately? Asked someone to repeat themselves? Noticed your Dad missing half the conversation at dinner? Hearing loss sneaks up quietly, and most of us wait years to act.

Don't wait. Unaddressed hearing loss can drain your energy, pulls you away from the people you love, and is one of the biggest modifiable risk factors for dementia. And you're far from alone: the WHO estimates more than 1.5 billion people worldwide live with some degree of hearing loss.
