Hearing Test for High Frequencies - Whats the HIGHEST Tone Pitch YOU Can Hear? 

Same here

Same here... in my right ear

same... right ear at 8000 due to tinnitus and left ear went off at 16000 hertz

What is your age?

lol i’m 19 and i top out at 10.6 kHz

probably your speakers@@gaberichter3701

I have 2oookhisthatnormlesallyspence

In my teens, I could hear beyond 20kHz. It was annoying since 20kHz noises are constantly played in public spaces (e.g. airports, malls) very loudly, so it was never a pleasant experience visiting these places. At 24, I already can't hear anything higher than 16kHz. This is scary... I didn't even know my hearing loss was this bad already at such a young age.

That's because of how humans hear certain frequencies, like the ones babies make, better and louder.

I am 48 and mine went slience around 14-14.5k. I have been pretty careful but I did attend a lot of loud nightclubs in my 20s. I think I started to notice this difference around 10 years ago maybe. I didn't do any online tests until like a year ago. I was surprised I don't hear above 14.5k I thought I had "perfect" hearing :(

Omg same here!!! Except I’m 30, and I’m feeling it more in my head than actual hearing it at some spots🥴 it’s so strange! I hope you get answers!!!

8000

Everyone’s ability to hear high frequencies declines as we age.

67 and probably around 12khz for me

@@Adirondacks4me 👍

I'm 27 and can hear somewhere between 16 and 17 k

Im 43 and can hear up to 17.5k... im a musician and used to go to a lot of raves too. Must be all the ear wax protecting my ears lol

I think headphones would be a more proper test. High frequencies also get absorbed by the atmosphere faster than lower. That’s why bass can travel log distances.

Can not hear anything from the test

🤣🤣🤣 time for a hearing test!

Thanks Drew! Matthew

Right there with ya. 8k and it was even. I also noted though when I listed at about 4-5k the tinitus would disappear for about 5-10.seconds

Me too.

Me 3 .. 56 had tinnitus from my 20’s from a firearm being discharged 2 feet from my left ear

I also found fluctuations in volume at several different frequencies - like the volume was turned down and back up again.

I also heard an audio fluctuation listening to the tone on my laptop speakers and then through my Wonderboom Bluetooth speaker. I then listened with my headphones and the fluctuations disappeared. I think but do not know for sure that the fluctuations were caused by the echo off of nearby walls and windows. I had complete loss at 8k.

Most audio products respond to frequencies differently too. Some headphones have peaks and dips (for example, one headphone might play a 10000khz sound a lot louder than another)

Hey Carla, thanks for taking part! Matthew

Hey Piot, leave it with me and I’ll get something recorded and uploaded 😊 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, Matthew

I am the same age and can also here 16khz although not a musician.

Hey Deanne, I’d say it’s worth getting your hearing tested! Thanks for the comment, Matthew

Similar to me, 48 years old, 14-14.5k

I guess that is good, I am 48 and can't hear above 14-15k

YES!

Same for me! 37 and 16kHz!

People think I'm crazy when I tell them to change the old television because of the high pitched ringing it makes.. had to record with a studio mic connected to an audio interface going into my laptop and then analyzing it with a vst audio analyzer just to show them there's a peaking noise at 18khz.. 😭

Hello, on lower-left side of a screen there is numbers. “Accurate tone” leading to frequency numbers. They are very precise

Thanks Nancy for sharing! Matthew

I hope you hear the goods too! Thanks for watching, Matthew

yes

Hey Basil, that’s an interesting way to keep distracted. Thanks for sharing with the world. Matthew

Same here 13,5K and I'm 66 years so not bad I guess🙂

Hey Emsyq, what tone is that? Thanks for watching, Matthew

its dogshit bro but I could only hear up to 13k and im 28 so it is what it is

@@sugo8920 do you have tinnitus?

TY 😊 Matthew

science will fix it for you in 5 to 10 years. Im the same as you and really pissed off I can only hear to 14.4 Khz now (age 53), since I am a music producer

@@stevea8099 It's honnestly, to me, not really something science could fix. Not necessarily more than a simple equalizer though, that's what I mean. If you hear frequencies less with age-related earing loss, which is the case here, it means the """string cells""" (I'm not a native English speaker, my apologies 😂) in your ears that are supposed to hear them are less present and/or damaged (not really, but in the big lines that's pretty much it) and if you turn up the volume, you technically can hear them again, I can increase the volume of my audio interface and generate a continuous sound at 25khz and hear it. The only difference is that it will sound like a pressure and not a sound. The higher the frequency, the more it will sound like "ear pressure" instead of sound. I'm sure you already boosted 17+khz to make a voice sound "fuller", to make it enter the ear, making it more centered. I can hear bats and rats, I live in the countryside and it's really ear tickling, but they're loud to me because they were close to my window. Thing is, that's why I heard them. The higher the frequency, the less volume you need to have in order to hear it, but after 15khz it stabilizes itself more and then it goes down again in volume so then you'll need more volume to hear above it. I might make no sense, but basically, you can hear them, but they will tickle your ear in a different way than they did before, when they were sounds, and you'll notice them as "pressure" and not as a note anymore, at least when talking about generated frequencies. Getting there to my second point, variations are still gonna be heard. A general ringing frequency might not appear as a sound anymore and your brain will not calculate it anymore and you might get the feeling of tickly pressure inside the ear instead of a note but when listening to hi-fi music it'll still be usually better to have all the upper frequencies. Sounds, when they're not staticly ringing or auto generated, are usually perceptible no matter where your ears roll off during a hearing test. Therefore, listening to my favorite album "hypochondriac" by Brakence (I recommend, especially the 3 lasts songs) is always a pleasure because I can identify the glitchy high end (he uses glitched sped up drums/hats/ticks/whatever in stereo and it tickles the ear when listening to his music which feels amazing). To know if you're not capable at all of hearing some frequencies, put a random song in your daw and boost everything above 16khz by some crazy number. Even without aliasing you'll hear the difference and therefore it doesn't really means that it's not fixable. I just am scared of having to boost the volume of the high end to mix the frequencies I like, because it would feel kind of.. bad. And I dislike hearing 18khz that I now identify as a "pressure on the ears" although before it was a sound that I could tell the pitch of. Btw, don't generate a 25khz sound before putting the volume of your speakers to max just in order to hear them, I had pain for hours and it felt like someone stabbed my ears with a sewing needle 😭

​@@stevea8099I hope you're right. Science will find a way to restore these things eventually. Hope it's that soon!

That’s exactly what I got and I’m 31 next month..

Same for me. I’m 27.

Same...but I'm 49 years old. I hear a tone or ringing in my ears all the time....that sounded like 5000 hz

Your hearing is fine 😊 Matthew

Thank you so much....😊😊😊I had tension...Now I am feeling good 😊😊. thanks a lot..

Sorry to hear that, it may be worth a test! Thanks for sharing, 😀 Matthew

Thanks, 😀 Matthew

Thanks, 😀 Matthew

Hey Vince, have you tried it with your hearing aids in too? Matthew

16k is great Ash! Matthew

@HearingTracker thank you for the feedback, really happy to hear this!

Awesome! Thanks, 😀 Matthew
