Hearing Range ~ Test Yours Now!

[Chug!]

Do you have perfect hearing?

They say every human should be able to hear from 20Hz to 20khz - now to alot of people them figures will mean nothing, however it is basically the frequencies from low bass tones to high squeals.

At this link : http://onlinetonegenerator.com/hearingtest.html you can test your own hearing; can I just say if you are to do it you must wear headphones at a comfortable volume - Not too loud; this can cause danger to your hearing.

Why does hearing get effected? why can I not hear 20hz-20khz?
As you get older your hearing decays, meaning high frequencies (the highest frequencies - 17,000-20,000Hz) and maybe even the lowest (0-3000Hz) arent recognised.
Hearing can also be effected by loud music, constantly. Or regular live concerts!


Test your hearing and post your answers below, if you like :)

I'll start.

My Highest Frequency that I can hear is : 16,996. Just under 17,000Hz.

Which tbh is fine, however seeing as I want to go into Sound for a living - I need to look after my hearing!

16, 150

[Kardan]

15,900...

I did this back in Year 7 and got the highest value in the class, but age is a definite factor in this test, the older you are, the lower your value...

Not too bad..:)

Age certainly is the factor; hearing deteriorates :(((

It's like when someone plays a high pitch squeal - you won't hear it, but younger people will be like omfg staaahp!

[MKR&*42]

[Samantha]

Are we meant to stop it when it goes lower then high again or not?

[Tom]

19,186 until silence. My hearing is still pretty good I guess. I'm sure I used to have problems with my hearing as a child, unless I faked that... probably.

[Absently]

oh mines not very good at all :( 15,702

[Ms.Aquamarine]

[dbgtz]

[Zelda]

i lost it around 16000 but regained for a small bit at 18000 lol

[Empired]

[Chris]

18,000 to 19,000 is when I last heard anything.

Surprising really considering I had glue ear as a child.

[Phil]

only 13-14k which surprises me

[Chug!]

Stop when you can no longer hear any sound.


19,186 until silence. My hearing is still pretty good I guess. I'm sure I used to have problems with my hearing as a child, unless I faked that... probably.

Loud Music? Gigs? Anything to cause it?

[Phil]

Loud Music? Gigs? Anything to cause it?

Been to a few gigs but don't really listen to loud music, don't ever use headphones. Just surprised because I would say I'm dependent on my ears in shows and stuff :P

15444, that made my eyes water a bit half way through...

[Chippiewill]

It'll depend on your computer's sound-card as some will cut out at around 16khz

[Reality]

The current frequency is:
19615
Hertz

[scottish]

Somewhere between 18,500 and 18,850


Tried it again with headset volume louder (was at 20% changed to 50%) and got to 20,000.

[buttons]

14000 something I think but my hearing isn't bad so prob just my computer

[ihatehash]

I got around 13700. Awful hearing!

[wixard]

i got to 14k but im on my iphone, not sure if that makes a difference I'll try with my laptop when I'm home

[Chug!]

Some sound cards actually boost high end, so should make it easier to hear that top end 17,000-20,000hz

[Eric]

14000 ish with headphones

[Gibs960]

I could hear to the end but eventually it was just hissing?

[wixard]

ok nope redid this with my iphone earphones and only got to like 13.5k

never knew i had **** hearing omg...

Don't trust iPhone earphones - although, they're suppose to boost treble (high) frequencies.. so.... ;llll

[Arron]

Mines 14,000. Quite below average. Does this mean I'll lose my hearing when I get older?

[Drewar]

I was able to finally get the website to work. Mine cut out at 14,310.
