I got up to 17.7 kHz.

Huh? Did you say something?

Not worth a damn . . . .

Too many years of:








Plus I'm getting:

Not good. Highest I could hear was 14.1.

And i'm not even

for a 46 year old with NF1 I came up with the following results...

with headphones on I can hear the tone at 16.7 kHz, using only my PC's speakers I can hear the 15.8 kHz

sadly the sounds of the gaggle of women in labor must be right around 16 kHz as I can hear them clear as a bell through closed doors, down the hall with all the PC buzzing at my desk (I think I can hear them now from home 7.8 miles from work


IHAP

Oh look a bunny,, in labor

21.2 barely.
19.9 loud and clear.

You are the typical teenager
You can hear the frequency of the mosquito teen repellent - but probably not for much longer!

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 17.7kHz


Typical teenager....I'm 30 for crying out loud.

14.1 speakers
16.7 headphones

You aren't even a teenager yet! Your hearing rules! You're either quite young or you've looked after your ears.

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 19.9kHz

Not bad for 30 - all those candle treatments before I went diving last must have paid off. I found many of the early ones quite painful.

Could barely hear 19.9

Everything perfectly up until 21.2Khz.
According to that test I'm not even human.

You are a dog
Or maybe you are a mosquito, you certainly can't be human.

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 21.1kHz

I can relate...however for me it's too many years of:



To be honest, I really haven't lost much of my hearing, I've had to deal more and more with an ever-increasing tinnitus (that ringing in the ears feeling), which is no fun, esp when all else is quiet. And nothing I do seems to be able to consistently keep them from being feeling clogged.

That reminds of that test I had to do at the beginning of my Navy services. I got some ridiculously large headphones and was just told to press a button whenever I would hear a sound. I was expecting 'real' sounds, so I did nothing when this buzzing started. It grew louder and louder. A minute later, the seargent showed up and bellowed "Damn, kid, are you deaf or what? Don't you hear anything?" To which I replied "No, Sir, I think the headphone's broken - I just hear some high-pitched buzzing".

Earned me the first berating in my navy career...

Upon second try, I scored well, and thus ended up in broadcasting / electronic intelligence...

With this test, I can still hear 16.7 kHz, and my headphones here are shitty. Will try again at home, guess 17.7 should still work there.

Same for me, no problems hearing whatsoever.

Which surprises me, cause I would have bet all the years of abusing my ears with heavy metal would have taken their toll. Oh well, not that I complain about.

16.7KHz, which apparently puts me 'at about 20 years old'. As I'm 22, this is accurate enough!

It's not that we hadn't suspected it...

I'm sure the peace and tranquility of living in a shrimp-trawling backwater must have helped preserve your hearing

I'm quite worried by my results - apparently I will be able to hear those high frequency sirens put outside shops to deter gangs of youths

I made it up to 19. Interestingly, there was a large difference between 19 and the next step down, which I think was 17.

Got to 21.1 quite happily, played the last one over and over again and thought my hearing must cap out at that, until curiosity kicked in and I clicked on F as a spoof answer and found out why

I know I had the most sensitive hearing of my class at school, because during an experiment on this subject I was the only one who could hear that the teacher had already got the 'annoying noise making machine' on, just as he was telling the class to put their hands up when they could first hear the noise once he'd plugged it in. I've got no idea what frequency it was at, but it made him blush when I told him it already was on and making a very annoying noise!

That said, my hearing is totally crap - I can't distinguish between certain pitches and sounds in regular speech. Last night I helped out by signing people in at a class my girlfriend takes and I couldn't understand over half the women (not just because of their strong Devonian accents either), and ended up having to ask them what their names were again. Certain sounds and words, especially soft, just blur into one and I'm left thinking there are probably two or three words or letters that could have been, hence I looked for Bs in the Vs, Js in the Ds and visa versa when taking surnames. Give me any kind of background music, like in a club, and talk to me and I probably won't hear a word you're saying because I can't filter out and distinguish between the two sources, yet putting it down to being deaf is futile when people know how good my hearing is. Perhaps I need my hearing tested!

Interesting. I could only hear up to 14.1kHz, and then I figured I was going beyond the capability of the cheapie speakers I have connected to this computer. So I leaned over and switched on the computer I use for video editing and FS that's hooked up to a decent stereo system with speakers mounted on the ceiling pointing downward, went to the website and I can hear up to 18.8 kHz. I know it's going higher than that because I get a positive reaction from the Chihuahua all the way up to 22.4 kHz, he looks up at the speakers and tilts his head the same as he does at the lower frequencies I can hear.
