Test your hearing.....turn down your speakers on your computer BEFORE beginning.

Wow, that is absolutely half-ass and useless.

Agreed. This hearing test is useless.

ooooooooooooooh, I can hear 8K Hz tone.
yeah me.

 

[JDrake]

I win

 

[neutralizer]

Whee, I can hear. OMG, I didn't know that before.

 

[Descartes]

Is there anyone that can NOT hear all of the sounds? I'd be surprised.

About as useful as a chocolate fire guard.

Me
if you turn it down so you can barely hear it the 4k range drops out.
But is that a function of the headset Im wearing?
I'll have to get somebody else in here

Update
OK after testing 5 other coworkers at the same volume only 1 could hear the 4k level
2 of us couldn't hear the 4k
the other 4 couldn't hear two or more frequencies
The one was told she would need a hearing aid in 10 yrs and she could only hear a couple of them.

any better test than this?

 

[TuxDave]

If I turn down the volume so that I could barely hear the test tone, I can't hear 500Hz.

I lose the vey 1st sound, but I also have a window air conditioner running, so who knows?

 

[walrus]

Couldn't hear any of them with my right ear unless I turned the volume way up. Couldn't hear the 8KHZ at all eather ear.

 

[desy]

OK
Changed headsets and the 4 k showed up and ran the more complicated test
turns out I thought my right ear was bad 'bicycle accident' but it actually hears better than the left but that was in 88 I guess its corrected itself over time cause it was definaly worse for at least a decade there.

 

[PingSpike]

I didn't even click on this. I just assumed it was going to get quieter and quieter before blasting me with a zombie scream.

 

[Vegitto]

Meh. 8 KHz is nothing 😛. I got a test like a month ago, I can hear up to 22.5 KHz 😀.

(I can sometimes hear the dogwhistles. It hurts.)

Argh, all those tones are annoying! I listened to every one of them... ouch! I even turned down my speakers and they are still annoying like someone scratching their nails on a chalkboard.

How can you tell by any of this that there is hearing loss? These tests don't make much sense to me.
