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!

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...

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!
