EDIT: I just quited my entire room I could hear all the way up to 22 kHz. I'm really surprised by that. I wonder if my speakers are translating it accurately, because it sounds exactly the same as 20kHz. I could just barely detect either.
I could hear up to 18 for sure, 19 maybe. It gets kind of hard to tell at that point whether I'm hearing it or if it's just me thinking I'm hearing it. I never put my music on very loud, but I think marching band could have definitely messed up my ears. 40 minutes a day right next to the drums for 4 years is probably not the best thing you could do to your ears.

Marching band is really bad for your ears. The worst instrument is the piccolo.
Wow. Just, wow. People surely love free money. What will you do with it?
I will pay bills. I really don't see how exchanging my hearing for a small check is "free money." I provided a service to the government. During the execution of that service I was permanantly partially disabled. Being compensated for my disability isn't akin to free pay.
I understand. It's just that I couldn't help but laugh when you said "I can't wait for those disability checks." I found that to be funny for some reason.
21 is much painfull to me. People often getting addicted of hearing loud and loud. Actually i think, people were often addicted sound which they like the most and would love to hear it at more larger sound. _____________________________________ http://cnatrainingfacts.com
Don't have any sound right now........but being almost 25 and regularly listening to heavy music very loudly, I dare say mine would cut out at 14 or 15.
I could hear 8 and 10 easily. The others I thought I could hear a couple but if I wasn't taking the test and paying attention I would never know they were there.

I can confirm this as I can't hear above 14 and listen metal all day on earphones loudly. :) But I've got some crap earphones right now so... Not sure.
That test is worthless unless we all do it on a standard quality sound system.
That being said, the Army syas I'm 40% deaf now. I can't wait for those disability checks. Thanks for paying your taxes.

Wait, you can get disability checks if you're hard of hearing? I thought you had to be completely deaf.
If the military is at fault, they pay based upon a disability percentage. It isn't just obvious things that cause hearing loss (such as artillery), but something such as listening to high-frequency squealing on ground-to-air radios can cause hearing loss.
