As a follow-up to this, check out this on-line hearing test: http://hearingtest.online/. Only requires a computer, Internet access, and headphones. Ear pods, maybe - as long as they can respond to signals up to 10 khz. Of course, the big difference between this and a doctor's test is calibration, it's difficult to calibrate without instruments - this test 'calibrates' by asking you to balance a test tone (the sound of two hands rubbing together) with the actual sound of rubbing your hands together. It works better than it sounds - it easily picked up my high frequency loss.
