It started to become something I felt more than heard once I hit 18000, at which point I stopped the test. Interesting test and far better than one I came across on you tube, My results were interesting as Im 40 years old. Neither made any difference to me I still cannot hear past 12Khz. I am 19 and have been listening to lots music on my phone over the last three years. Knowing your tinnitus frequency can enable you to better target masking sounds and Using my laptop speakers (Toshiba L875D) and a set of external Altec Lansing VS4621 speakers I could hear almost every up tone up to 21 Khz (faintly) with one exception I couldnt hear the 16 Khz at all on both not sure if that is due to an issue with my ears or with the audio file. Only hearing am I impaired. The Etymotic earlplugs dont muffle the sound like conventional earplugs they basically give you the same frequency response as without, but with a bit lower volume. ( Just a theory ). My left ear has hearing loss, as I had many ear infections in it. They drove me crazy from inside my room & didnt keep out animals. For best results, perform the test at a comfortable volume in a quiet environment and using good quality headphones. Is AudioCheck free? I dont say I can hear over this 15Khz limit, I worked with music a lot in my life and I think maybe because of age plus hearing fatigue I may not be able to go after that, but clearly here is about a harmonic on the headphones. It's free, simple and no sign up required. I didnt think it was funny. Then i listen to music for about two hours, with my Bose QuietComfort 15 Music History
17500 was similar. 10pm - 1am, Am Tage aller Seelen (Litanei) D.343 I did better back then, obviously. When you depend a lot on vibration, something as simple as can you hear this isnt obvious. It doesnt offend me at all if someone says they cant understand will you repeat. I was doing the test on a tablet, with headphones plugged in. I heard them all. It may sound strange but even frequencies I cant hear I can still feel.. Keep it quiet, and you will be safe. On the top of the test tone, a voiceover tells you which frequency is currently playing. I know I can hear above 15 K, but the test didnt show anything for me on the 17 K file. Alltho Im positive that I would *feel* it on a higher volume! 
Enjoy iiiIIIIIIIIIIIT!) Subsequent rounds, 17-22kHz just made the icy, hissing ringing worse, but were indistinguishable.
They sound like a fridge or an old TV running in another room; or a house phone ringing next door. I currently can only hear up to barely 12khz so Im obviously not doing too well. One thing I noticed and have heard about before , is people thinkng the lower tones they hear in the higher F tests , must be poor recordngs , that perceiving a lower tone = lower F what actually happens , is that in the ear , the Fs picked normally , are picked up in the normal chambers/coil in the cochlear , but the higher ones are NOT , and sound lower , because we do not normally hear them , and they are not normally produced as a by product compared to everyday squaks and sqeals from natural materials (trees, water, air, etc) , sometimes they are in short bursts , or at places like electricity relay stations (a beautiful chorus of noises aaaaah) , where was I we dont normally process sound in these other canals / or we normally dont pay attention to signals that deep into the middle bends of the cochlear , so our conscious processing of the signals , is misinterpreted somewhere inbetween, basically not neccessarily here , not neccessarily there , but it doesnt really matter exactly where its that your brain isnt used to recognising / processing the signals because they arent natually produced very often (particle storms, geomagnetic byproducts? Tinnitus frequency matching. It is amazing how many are understanding of being hearing impaired when you have no attitude about it. \_()_/. I already hear a ringing in my ears all day so it interferes with testing. Im quite worried Im 14 and I cant hear above 14hz is that normal? However, what was weird was that when I turned up the volume (to 100%) I heard 20 kHz through to 22 kHz (again, as expected), but they all sounded the same (unexpected). Your support keeps this site running. I cant hear over 15,000 yet in my dedicated Tone generator. Yep, that means if I sit still and its sort of quiet in the room, I can hear that sound. There is a history of tinnitus on my mums side of the family and I suspect I have it as well. In such a case, download the original file (click the download icon - for patrons only) and play the test tone straight from your hard disk through your favorite audio application. I am Raiford Clemons from Portsmouth VA. Did my headphones reach their limit and just produce the highest tone that they could (using Sony Stereo Headphones MDR-ZX100)? Read the comments below or visit the hearing test results page. At least I already know sign language. I am 61 years old and I spent a lot of time in the Military working around 300 thousand watt diesel powered field generators for 26 years. Using two different sets of in ear headphones (Dont have my other earphones on hand) (Sony NC-100D) and a mid line V-Moda I could hear up to 15Khz beyond that nothing which I suspect is more a case of the limits of the earphones frequency response than anything else. A -9 dbFS sweeping sine tone, from 22 kHz (supposedly inaudible) down to I cant tell if my speech is clear either so I dont talk much. I am 16 years old, male, and have played piano most of my life and started learning percussion not much longer than a year ago. My hearing was very good when I was young but Ive obviously lost a lot of it by now. I also had Koss Hv1 headphones which I used when at home and a Walkman (Sonys iPod of the past) that I used when I was on the road. Not everything can reproduce them properly. I didnt hear any of them. (playing piano made me advance in percussion faster) I can sometimes hear higher or lower frequencies, but probably not much more than 15khz. Beyond that is complete silence to me. Can hear the 12KHz signal okay at much higher volume, and only just make out the 14KHz at almost maximum volume. He thought it was so funny that I couldnt hear the rest of the sounds he could hear.

When someone says can you hear this I get confused. Confirm your result with our High Frequency Audibility Blind Test. p.s I play violin and having good hearing is a great advantage for one can hear the notes in the orchestra and one can stay in tune and etc. I worked with computers in my 20s and 30s, and would often catch my friends with their computers turned off, but their monitors still turned on some of the older ones didnt have a power on light but I could hear the hum. I spent lots of time in dance clubs (right in front of the speakers) all across Europe (it was a mission of mine to get to all clubs from the west coast to the border Russia and from Hamburg Germany to Sicily Italy) from the age of 21 38. I worked in underwater acoustics and could often hear transducers operating under water. When I generated my own 20Hz it was booming. To adjust the frequency by 0.01 Hz, press Ctrl+ and Ctrl+; ), testing your hearing (whats the highest frequency you can hear? I am using an android phone and skullcandy earbuds to do this test. we havent needed to -following grass trails , using calendars , symbolic markings , etc , have facilitated more reliable ways of scavenging. I found this somewhat interesting, but with no actual knowledge Id just guess that my ability to hear frequencies around that 20khz mark are slightly impaired, but a bit higher is somewhat intact still. Funny thing is that my left ear seems to be somewhat effected at the moment (pretty light though), like Ive been to a concert; ringing sound. this is not the real world at all, and does not help me one iota when i am trying to hear my college lecturer in a loud class, nor when i am listening to the TV or radio or loud speaker (and heaven help me if I cant see their mouth shaping to give me a clue!!! out an obscure browser bug can take many hours of work), which is a problem because Im using my studio setup, but the MacPros bilt-in sound plugged into my mixer, which is how I always browse the web. If you already are a patron, please log in. I am rather happy to know that at my age I could clearly reference the 18khz sinewave.
This frequency more or less represents the upper limit of Its taught me to listen better with what I have and Ive learned to pay attention to whats around and sneaking up on me doesnt work. 
Both wearing Audio Technica headphones. I was fully prepared not to hear anything at 17000 HZ, but I got a very sharp, high frequency tone. But I can feel tue vibration. I couldnt tell if it was on visually until I actually got to his front porch, where I could see him thru his picture window, watching TV. You dont need to shout at hearing impaired and please remember that you dont shout to deaf. Take the video test below, and stop as soon as you can no longer hear anything. Also I will test with my most clear and unforgiven pair of headphones, the ATH-M50s from AudioTechnica. What I cant understand is, if you need glasses, but can still see you are given glasses that bring your vision to within acceptable ranges, but it appears that a hearing test is done under extremely false conditions ie silent!!!!
If you can hear 17,400 Hz, youre either a teenager or superhuman. That was odd. Assuming your sound card is not prone to aliasing please refer to the third section below the weakest components in this test are your ears. When the tone becomes too faint to hear, stop the test: do not increase the volume of your headphones/speakers. I used just my laptop speakers then I used apple headphones then I hooked it up to my Sony stereo system which I know is capable to play past these tones.
As we get older, or exposed to loud sounds which damage our ears (such as loud concerts), the upper limit decreases. At age 63 I can hear 8, 10, 14, and 15 kHz but absolutely nothing at 12 or 16. Contact | However those are tones generated with my DAW and some sine waves. 2006-2022 All Rights Reserved i want to insist im not losing my hearing (im 60+) but i concede i literally dont know what im missing. How high can you hear?
to adjust it by 0.001 Hz, press Ctrl+ Shift + and Ctrl+Shift+ No sound, I didnt even feel a pulse, like also happens to me when I perceive high frequencies. Never needed to look at the speedometer. That means if Im not tired when I go to bed, I wear head phones listening to some music in order to go to sleep. Im 29 and in my right ear I cant hear 12 and 14 then 17 thru 22. Make sure to turn the volume down on your headphones or speakers and gradually turn them up to a safe level. I have to make a living. Trying it on desktop with good 96/128 maudio card and nice Sennheiser headphones I could hear up to 21.
If you hear strange ups and downs, like someone tuning an AM radio, or anything else that does not sound like a continuously descending sweep, suspect this test to be corrupted by aliasing (the scientific name to this phenomenon).
Do you need me to repest and they say yes. Since Ive always had a hearing problem thats all I know. Most of my friends were around my age, and they couldnt hear it. I cant hear anything above the 10 KHz signal at my normal music listening volume. 9-15kHz were pretty piercing for myself, had to turn down the volume. To change the frequency, drag the slider or press (arrow keys). 
I have suffered bad hearing since I was a child which got worse after a hemorrhage 17 years ago. Take our online hearing test: listen to each of these tones and let us know where your hearing cuts out. in several browser tabs.
Im 42 and have tinnitus and it cuts off for me around 16 or 17khz (I can sense that it is there at 17khz, but dont know if I am actually hearing it). How to distinguish this? Im 3 months short of 52, and I can hear 19khz on my laptop speakers I have pretty good speakers in my laptop. I do hear all of them but afer the 15Khz limit the pitch seems to decrease which is not normal as the sound goes up in frequency so I guess the headphones are playing a harmonic. I couldnt hear beyond the 14khz no matter how high the volume. I could hear all of them, 21 and 22 I wasnt so sure on, I had to play them back a few times because I wasnt sure if it was just the fuzzy background noise I was hearing, or the actual tone- but Ive done these before on ones of Good quality Im 21, inching up on 22, still hear these as clearly as I always have, so Im not losing my hearing yet- feels like it sometimes though, my right ear doesnt hear as well as my left so sometimes when people are talking to me, especially when theres a lot of background noise I turn my head to the right so my left ear faces them. i cant even hear 10kHz on my 5-year-old Dell laptop. you can hear in only one ear?). Initial studies on transgenic mice showed promising results, but (as is often the case) early-stage human trials paint Privacy Policy | Which I find a little weird because when I fire I fire left handed so all the noise is on my left ear, Ive even had my left plug fall out on me while shooting, quite often actually when the butt nudges my ear or jaw it wiggles its way out, Im not complaining though, I like my hearing. I did try with my Sennheisser headphones, but they have degraded a lot in the last year or so, and seemed to lose reproduction at around 15khz, hence, hence why I tried the hi-fi. Tuning instruments, science experiments (whats the resonant frequency of this wineglass? tones that are one octave apart. Kids have this way with high pitch screaming when they dont get their way. i guess i am luck?
Its fairly common for people who are over 25 years of age to not be able to hear above 15kHz and also experience some level of hearing loss or hearing damage such as tinnitus. Cheap sound cards may have trouble reproducing the highest frequencies of this test. i amsupprized my hereing hasnt decromented over time! Im one of those people who can hear when a TV is on somewhere nearby, or a CRT monitor. I do feel a decrease over 15khz in sound so I guess this is my threshold. I have problems understanding what people are saying in noisy places. I can only hear just about to 10 KHz from my monitor speakers. I am 33 and am totally blind i had my hearing tested when i was about 8 they said i had good enough hereing that i could here things from about 3 blocks away! are there frequencies It could be hereditary. Thanks. I cannot hear past 12Khz. If deaf or hearing impaired arent good enough speakers and they need to write, give them a pen and pad! I can hear all of them and the difference in tone. Sometimes when people say I dont hear nothing I wonder how nice it would be not to hear nothing. Used an slightly better than average consumer USB headset that goes up to 25khz, so just about enough for doing this test. Do I use thr sound or the vibration I asked the audiologist. 19khz is very faint, which makes me think if my speakers were decent studio monitors I may possibly hear it. But 17 & 18 set off my tinnitus which Ive had since childhood. Turned up the 20Hz sample was null and I got really scared, also the 30Hz and I was like hey I go deaf? Then I touched my sub and he didnt moved at all. Check your hearing with a list of tones that go from 8Hz all the way up to 22,000Hz. I can legitimately hear all up to 18k, but feel the higher tones. I have had tinnitus since my 20s but have practiced using hearing protection since then to prevent further hearing loss, so perhaps that is why my scores were not worse. This test was pure curiosity done because my friend lost his hearing in his right ear from firing his weapon so much in a short amount of time so i thought hey the internet will have a test for my ears. I can hear something at each frequency, but I am afraid, what I hear at the higher frequencies is rather some noise generated by my audio equipment, than the high frequency sound. All with no ear protection I was able to hear up to 20 khz with volume at 30% all of them painful, everything after that i was not able to hear but my ears still hurt while they were playing (i think its due to my headphones, and speakers though. 30 years old, being around fire arms, Various military class helicopters, death metal bands (Live and practice room), function one sound rigs doing shows (Spinning and promoting) basically have thrown a lot at le old ears. Or maybe both. Please note, due to the large number of uncontrollable variables involved here, this is not a scientifically rigorous test, but a rough indicator. It scared me I heard them so well. I will write another review after. I did this in my Physics class and everyone else could hear the tones around 19 and below. Impressive Vocal Ranges of 6 Rock Singers. Thats normal.

I have made 41.75 orbits around the sun. Donations from awesome, good-looking users like you buy me time to keep things running. The voiceover tells you the frequency you have reached. If you use the Online Tone Generator and find it helpful, please support it with a little bit of money. Some scientists from MIT are seriously investigating the possibility that 40 Hz tones So if you think this tone generator is worth it, please support it with some money to help keep it online. So I cannot trust the samples in high register. I can feel your steps if you walk hard. Im a 31 y.o. Not for me. I have to tell people as much as it pains me to have a few still think that hearing loss means dimness. If youre around loud music a lot like I am, or if you are experiencing some hearing loss, Ihighly recommend getting a pair of hearing protection earplugs. 10 kHz http://www.noiseaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/10000.mp3, 12 kHz http://www.noiseaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/12000.mp3, 14 kHz http://www.noiseaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/14000.mp3, 15 kHz http://www.noiseaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/15000.mp3, 16 kHz http://www.noiseaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/16000.mp3, 18 kHz http://www.noiseaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/18000.mp3, 19 kHz http://www.noiseaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/19000.mp3, 20 kHz http://www.noiseaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/20000.mp3, 21 kHz http://www.noiseaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/21000.mp3, 22 kHz http://www.noiseaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/22000.mp3.
