How old are your ears? Hearing Test

[Quixote1818]

I am 46 and my hearing is right in line with what I should be able to hear. 12,000 Hz Could not hear 15,000 at all. Kind of freaky.

1. Beware

This assumes your computer speaker works at these frequencies - which many won't.

3. I was watching the audio measure to see if it would go up

It went up at 8,12 and 15 but remained flat above that so you are probably correct. My computer only detects up to 15,000 hz

12. Youtube compresses the audio

which removes high frequencies. If you look carefully, it says you must watch at 1080 and wear headphones for accurate results - I guess 1080 has less audio compression.

4. I was thinking the same thing

I would guess my cell phone speaker has a somewhat limited sound range.

9. Works on my IPad...20 year old offspring could hear all but the last one. Me....yikes.....

2. I'm in the Say What group cause I didn't hear a darned thing.

5. I only heard the first one.

When I taught third grade my students could hear at a very high level. Does anyone else remember when the high school kids were playing the sounds and the teachers could not hear?

6. I can hear the "Under 40" and "Under 24" but not the "Under 30"

Maybe I have some kind of selective hearing damage?

7. Confirms my odd hearing....

Barely hear 8000
Can not hear 12000
Barely hear 15000

Much louder at 16000, 17000, 18000, 19000

Age 60, using iPhone

10. Mine's not quite that extreme, but I also have in-between ranges I can't hear apparently. n/t

8. Wow - I can still hear 15kHz, and I'm nearing 50

I do have a small bit of tinnitus, but the 15kHz tone was still fairly distinct in my ears. 16kHz, however, was the breaking point.

11. I'm sure I coulda heard some of those sounds if I could just turn off the ringing in my ears.

[PADemD]

13. +1000

14. 'Zactly!

My dog, on the other hand, perked right up.

[melman]

16. Yes!

Too many years playing in and seeing very loud bands.

[Revanchist]

15. I spent over 15 years around F-14 Tomcats

and all the other jets you can encounter of the deck of an aircraft carrier. I'm surprised that I can hear as well as I can.

[shanti]

17. i'm 59

and 12,000 was my limit. i do have tinnitus as well.

[Binkie The Clown]

18. I hear "under 40", but I'm actually 70.

The rest of the "younger" tones I couldn't hear at all, even with a good set of headphones.

[Kalidurga]

19. My ears are older than I am

very strange, nothing else has aged at all.

[F4lconF16]

20. I'm thinking that my speakers aren't reproducing the sound.

My ears are usually significantly above average, and given that I couldn't hear the 16000+ kHz tones...
