Disclaimer
HearNowIQ provides educational hearing tools and general information only. This Disclaimer explains the limitations of our website, online hearing test, hearing tools, audiogram features, simulations, calculators, consultation forms, and related guidance.
1. Not medical advice
HearNowIQ does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, audiology services, or clinical hearing care.
The information, tools, results, simulations, calculations, and guidance on this website are provided for educational and informational purposes only.
You should not use HearNowIQ as a substitute for advice from a doctor, audiologist, hearing care professional, or other qualified healthcare provider.
2. Not a clinical hearing test
The HearNowIQ online hearing test is not a clinical audiology assessment.
It is designed to provide a general indication of your hearing levels based on your responses and listening environment.
Your results may be affected by factors including:
- headphone quality
- speaker quality
- device volume
- browser behaviour
- background noise
- room acoustics
- how carefully you complete the test
- whether each ear is tested correctly
For a formal diagnosis or clinical assessment, you should consult a qualified hearing professional.
3. When to seek medical advice
You should seek professional medical advice promptly if you experience:
- sudden hearing loss
- hearing loss in one ear only
- ear pain
- dizziness or balance issues
- discharge or bleeding from the ear
- ringing that starts suddenly or becomes severe
- ear injury
- signs of infection
- any hearing change that concerns you
HearNowIQ is not suitable for emergencies or urgent medical concerns.
4. Audiogram information
HearNowIQ may allow you to enter, save, and use audiogram information.
Audiograms can be useful for understanding hearing patterns, but they should be interpreted carefully. If you are unsure about your audiogram or what it means, you should seek advice from a qualified professional.
Any tools that use your audiogram depend on the accuracy of the values you enter. Incorrect or incomplete information may lead to inaccurate or less useful results.
5. Hearing aid simulator
The HearNowIQ hearing aid simulator is an educational tool only.
It may help demonstrate how different hearing profiles or listening scenarios can affect sound, but it cannot perfectly reproduce your real-world hearing, the exact experience of hearing loss, or the performance of a specific hearing aid.
Actual hearing aid performance may depend on many factors, including your hearing profile, ear shape, device style, fitting, programming, listening environment, and personal preference.
6. Hearing loss percentage calculator
The hearing loss percentage calculator is provided as a general educational tool.
It should not be treated as a legal, medical, employment, insurance, compensation, or clinical assessment.
If you need an official hearing loss assessment, you should consult an appropriate qualified professional or relevant authority.
7. Custom consultation and recommendation tools
HearNowIQ may provide consultation or recommendation features based on information you submit, such as your hearing profile, preferences, lifestyle, and listening needs.
These tools are designed to provide general guidance and help you prepare for your next step. They do not replace professional assessment, individual medical advice, or a properly fitted hearing solution.
8. No product or outcome guarantee
HearNowIQ does not guarantee that any particular hearing aid, device, treatment, appointment, professional, or course of action will be suitable for you.
We do not guarantee that using HearNowIQ will result in a particular hearing outcome, cost saving, diagnosis, product choice, or improvement in hearing.
Your decisions should be based on your own circumstances and, where appropriate, advice from qualified professionals.
9. Independent educational platform
HearNowIQ is designed to help users better understand hearing information in a private, low-pressure way.
Any information provided is general and educational. It should be used to support your understanding, not as the only basis for important health, medical, or purchasing decisions.
10. Use of the website is at your own risk
You use HearNowIQ at your own discretion and risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, HearNowIQ is not responsible for decisions you make based on website content, hearing test results, simulations, calculations, consultation outputs, saved audiograms, or other information provided through the platform.
