How much do you hear?

Too much loud music for me I'm affraid. I'm pretty careful with my hearing now, but in my younger days....not so much unfortunately.

I started wearing earplugs at loud venues in the 90's (and enjoying them more), but the damage was already done.
 
folks, remember this test is very very very dependent on your speakers and background noise. My laptop speakers simply do not support frequencies higher than 12khz. Using my headphones, I can only "hear" to 16khz. Using my B&W 804s speakers, I can hear all the way to 18.5 khz with ease and then the room noise takes shape and I can't hear the signal beyond the room noise.
 
I went to 18, that's weird... Maybe my headphones can't produce the sound? 🙁 I have done nothing to damage my hearing either... This sucks. :'( I used to be able to hear at least 20 I thought.. :'(
 
Actually, I heard all of them if I cranked my headphones to beyond anything else. So if I just make my headphones EXTREMELY LOUD, I can hear even 22KHz, but it is very faint even with it amped out.
 
I could only hear up to 12Khz but I'm on an office PC with built in speaker and it's not very loud to begin with. I'll have to try at home, I'll probably be able to hear them all. I can hear lot of frequencies people can't, like TVs, light bulbs, etc. when you get into the 15khz zone your hardware can be a limitation too, the speakers may not produce it at all, or even properly.
 
I could hear up to 17 - then none, except for 22? That's odd. Could be my headphones. They're good headphones though.

Then again, I was a DJ for about 4 years in high school/early college, so I'm pretty much going deaf. I can still hear most things, but not exceedingly clearly.

Same. I'm 27. It could be my laptop speakers though, because I'm pretty sure I've heard higher frequency sounds before with my headphones.
 
I couldn't hear any of them and I panicked until I realized I had the speakers on my laptop muted.
 
Oh man, don't do two are the same time.

I thought I was going to pass out, it was like snorting that powder candy.
