Your Ears

Test the age of your ears

I could very faintly hear the 16kHz tone (age under 30) and I am 43 years old. Under normal situations I would not hear that tone although 15kHz was very easy to hear.

It's important to note for accuracy purposes you use headphones while you're listening to the test tones.

It's important to note for accuracy purposes you use headphones while you're listening to the test tones.

And knowing for certain that your sound card is capable of producing those tones wouldn't hurt either.

I got a message the YouTube compression artifacts were affecting everything above 16,000 Hz.

I ran a test with real test tones and can still hear 17,000Hz the same as 8,000Hz, but frequencies above 18,000Hz were more difficult and I couldn't hear anything above 21,000.

I question their data on age versus hearing ability. I either I am the luckiest drummer on the planet (who also shot guns regularly often without protection until I was 23 years old), or their data is just wrong.
