My hearing has been horrible for a very long time. I remember the school nurses being completely in shock when I had those headphones put on me and I had to raise my hand on a specific side when they played different tones. I blame rock music.

Edit: Could not hear 15.

I can hear all of them. The last one is fainter than the first one of course but I can still hear it pretty clearly. I never listen to music that loud and I would like to think that if I were to play live music some day (doesn't strike me as unlikely) I would wear sound-dampening earplugs. I guess I have gone to concerts and school dances with naked ears a few times but I generally don't try to expose my ears to loud sounds. My hearing is far from perfect though.

EDIT: All at the same volume (which was not that loud; medium in volume I'd say).

Sweet tapdancing chipmunks, 8 kHz was pure torture!

I could hear all of them, but it was still really faint at 22 kHz.

like it says in the article, people over 25 are more less likely to hear above 15kHz.

I can hear all of them but I had to crank up the volume, not sure if that matters. At regular I can only hear up to 15.

I could hear 15 but not 16. Maybe because I just had earphones in? People are always like wtf how did you hear me say that?

Edit: I heard 16. And maybe I heard 17, or I'm imagining it.

My hearing is definitely shot. Nothing beyond 12. I wish it was worse so I wouldn't hear the screaming banshee/poopy-bag I call my 3-year old toddler.

Made it to 18. Not bad for 22 and listens to a lot of music. Also long nights at the loud bars can't help much either.

I could hear up to 17 but no higher. I'm 20, and I don't listen to loud music at all, or work in a loud environment. At least I'll be immune to high pitched alien confusion weapons I guess.

Could slightly hear 20 and I'm 18. The hilarious thing though is that my cat kept staring at me whenever I turned on one of them. :P And I'm wearing headphones, those damn animals and their superior hearing.

I got as high as 17k, which is fair enough considering all the concerts I've been to and guitar playing I've done. I like it loud.:twisted:
