Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to providing navigation assistance to pedestrians experiencing temporary hearing impairment. In one embodiment, a method includes inferring that a pedestrian is experiencing hearing impairment based on data collected by a user device of the pedestrian. Responsive to an inference of hearing impairment, a hearing test is administered to verify hearing impairment of the pedestrian. A pedestrian assistance countermeasure is produced responsive to verified hearing impairment of the pedestrian as determined from the hearing test.
