Hearing Test: How High Do Your Ears Go?

My vote is wrong. I had about 13k when I tried it at first, but I turned the sound up, and got about 16k.

I have no idea how my hearing is but I suspect it’s bad based on experiences in day to day life.

Interesting, I guess.

The first time, I got 13 500, and that’s what I voted in the poll. Then I tried it with a different pair of headphones (the kind that go over my ears, not earbuds) and got 14 200.

I verified that the test outputs nothing, other than a faint noise, above 16k. It’s very easy to see in a spectrogram of a recording.

Yep, I’m deaf. Lost all my high frequency hearing in my early 20’s, sitting in front of computer monitors. At the start, it hurt to go into the room. A couple years later, I couldn’t hear it at all.

But a lot of Doctors back then didn’t really belive in noise-related hearing loss.

Around 12500 Hz. There is a lot of muted traffic noise in the background, though. Cool test. Anyone know a site which gives the low frequency threshold as well?

yeah, I’m hearing aliasing when it says it’s just above 15000 Hz. This “test” is not valid.

Never mind, I just found one. for the low frequency threshold. I could do 2 Hz at full volume, but the “pulsations” turn into a continuous sound only at 22 Hz or so. I also find that > 10 min of exposure to this low frequency test is beginning to hurt my ears. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

15,666. Something uncomfortably number of the beast-y about that.

I got about 12,000, best I could tell. Having no earphones I held the speakers next to my ears and watched the scale.

I worked construction for many years and am surprised that it’s that good.

I’m 66 so I guess it could be a lot worse.

Well my headphones are crap and only one side works, so I did the test for each ear.
Right ear got 15500 and left ear got 13791. Is it normal to have a large difference like that?
