Let's see how good everyone's hearing is. Use this link to find out to what point your hearing cuts out, and report it back here.

I can hear up to 19.

I can't hear past 19 kHZ. All I hear is the clicking sound of starting/stopping at 20 kHZ.

I don't need to use it. I already know I have the ears of a hawk.

And damaged... A few years ago I would have heard all the way up to 22KHz... But hey that's what you get for listening to music hours a day for years...

I assume we are supposed to use headphones? If so I can hear all of them just fine.

I hope by that time that we have some technology to make up for it. That isn't as revealing as the one we got now

My ears are the same way. But it's from going to church. For you see, I played the piano at the church and sat right next to the speakers where all the music came out.

In that case I would have used something to cover your ears with... Whatever they are called in English again...

Earplugs :P But at the time, I thought nothing of it and figured "Heck, I'm young. I can take it!"

That's what I thought to, until I highschool graduation in Norway... I couldn't hear normal for a day or two. =/ The hours of music playing per day... Knew it would affect my hearing... Yet continued to listen to music. Parents should tell us something about this, or we should be taught it in school :x

Here's a hearing test I found on Youtube. I don't know if it's any better.

Near the middle it drove my pets up the wall. :lol:

When I had the volume low on my speakers, I could only hear through 16. I turned it up to about 50% and could hear all of them. So, not sure what that means.

Year all of them? :P It's pretty much like that for everyone. To hear the really high or low tones, we need to turn the volume up...

I can hear 17 and then nothing afterwards... Marching band/drum line might have something to do with it...

I could hear up to 18. I have been to many a concert and spent plenty of time playing music loudly in my Jeep. If I'm not completely deaf by 50 I haven't lived right.

I can hear up to 20. 21 and 22 make clicking noises to me rather than the screeching sound... I can hear a little screech on 21 beneath the clicking.

I could hear up to 16 normally (25% volume), up to 17 at 50%, 18 at 75%, and I heard something at all the ones after that once I turned the volume to 100%, and it wasn't just clicking and buzzing. After that I still heard the high pitch for another couple minutes. :P

With my normal volume setting, I could only hear up to 18. I'm not sure how accurate that is or if the volume even matters on these type of tests.
