Hearing test - how damaged are your ears?

[masterxfob]

i had to crank up the volume quite a bit, but i can hear them all except for 16.

 

[Lonyo]

I can hear 22 but it sounds lower than 16k, so it might be that my headphones are a bit weird when it comes to playing high pitched sounds.

So you say your EARS have selective hearing? Sounds like you should tell your Sig. Other than it's not your fault you selectively listen.....

 

[ChaoZ]

Can't hear anything above 18.

I could hear all the way up to 22khz. My right ear perceives sound louder than my left, and I have fairly bad tinnitus (due to jaw-joint problems). It amazes me I was able to differentiate between the tone and my tinnitus at such high frequencies. I guess wearing in ear monitors when listening to music and public and earplugs at concerts has done me well.

Couldn't hear above 18. I'm 19.

 

[roid450]

i got to 21 and I couldn't hear 22. I'm 20 yrs old, wear headphones regularly to the gym and on trips, volume not too loud either,

I don't think this test has any kind of accuracy. I can hear them all without adjusting the volume. Using crap speakers. And I all well past 25.

[nobody554]

I heard up to 17 and then 22. Couldn't hear 18, 19, 20, 21

I'm 20

 

[PlasmaBomb]

Weird I can hear all the way up to 22kHz, and 27 years.

 

[JohnCU]

up to 16kHz with laptop speakers, 25

 

[Koing]

I can 'just about' hear 14KHz I'm 25 and I'm using crappy iPhone headphones but I don't think I would fair better with better headphones. I have abused my hearing listening to MD's at loud volumes since I was 13.

I crank up my speakers pretty loud at home now that I have my own place

Wow, i can't hear anything, but everyone else was going "WTF IS THAT NOISE???"

My hearing was blown out a while ago from loud amps

lol What a great way to piss people off.




I can hear 12k clearly but not 14k+
I am using a built in comp speaker which is crap.

Haha...I was turning up the volume more and more, and people started coming out of their office thinking a piece of equipment was going haywire I was like "What? I don't hear anything!"

That's awesome. Just tell them its the auditory "canine gene test" and they passed.

I can't believe I can't hear over 12k though. I played drums and used to club DJ but I always wore ear protection. I need a hearing ear dog now.

New test results.

Copied sounds to mp3 player and used a fair set of headphones. Adjusted volume till music was comfortable.

Can't hear anything above 12.

[HybridSquirrel]

21kHz and im 20.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Or you could go to an audiologist and get a real test so they can decipher it

[imported_Imp]

No idea, don't want to mess up speakers when I forget that it's outputting properly, I'm just deaf.

Anyways, I should be pretty bad. Went to 2 concerts, no ear plugs, stood near the front. One ear felt muffled for months. Nowadays, I wear safety ear plugs at the movie theatre; expensive ones that let through sound evenly are stiff and uncomfortable.

I noticed the same thing; I used ear canal headphones and could hear up to 19kHz, no 20kHz, yes at 21kHz, no at 22kHz. Hard for me to believe I could hear that high-I'm 55.

My laptop sound card fails, can't get higher than 16kHz on it but I know I've heard higher tones.

Gotta try it on my desktop with my Audigy 2 ZS later.

Face it, you deaf as a haddock!!

[octopus41092]

I'm 17, II can hear all of them except the 22KHz might be because of the speakers though.

 

[Ferrari355]

I'm 27 and I heard all of them.
