online hearing test

Post Reply New Topic

I was curious so I went here http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/can ... ring-test/ to test my hearing range and I was surprised that I could hear all the way up to the end of their scale at 22 kHz. I know it's not scientific but still think it's kind of cool.

You must have good hearing, i couldnt hear anything past 12

I took a general free hearing test in a hearing clinic (I once had a bad incident with a centerfire pistol indoors where my ear phones became dislodged on a sandbag; I didn't realize that they were as I was in a competition. It gave me permanent tinnitus, so I thought it must have damaged my hearing too). My hearing came back as perfect. :/

The highest one I could hear was 16.

I could only hear up to 16 kHz

I used headphones and 22kHz was a very tiny sound but I could still hear it.

16 and I'm 28, and I've been exposed to a lot of shooting.

Just plain old monitor speakers, turned down quite a bit, but 16 came through loud. 17 was nothing (same with anything over 16).

It's the low frequencies that I can't hear.

Irritating test because those noises hurt my head, but still interesting. I could hear 19 and under. I wonder at what range electronics are, I wish I couldn't hear those frequencies.

I could hear 19 and under. As a child, I routinely scored perfect on hearing tests, including hearing beeps I wasn't supposed to, but the absolutely perfect hasn't held up.

I could just hear 14. 15 was too high. Bear in mind, I am in my 50s, so ...

19 and lower. That hurt

am no technical expert, but i noticed that the tones above 17k had a welter of digital subharmonics which masked the fundamental treble tones, for me at least. my hearing with regular aural exams tops out at 17k, so i know that it was the subharmonics i was hearing and not the true fundamental tones. btw my ears have rung since i was a child exposed to the report of .30-06 gunfire. the frequency range of my tinitus seems to correspond with the treble trough in my hearing range.
