I am under 18 and I could hear 20 kHz. My science teacher plays 20 kHz to get my class to be quiet and she can’t hear it even though it bothers us so much we immediately stop talking. Some people complain about how annoying the sound is and others just hush up (this teacher is a great teacher and we all love her as a teacher❤).
76 years with constant tinnitus - lost the sound at around 8000, or rather it was lost in the tinnitus!
Same here
Same here... in my right ear
same... right ear at 8000 due to tinnitus and left ear went off at 16000 hertz
Similar for me. I have Tinnitus in my left ear and the tinnitus and tone matched up in the 8,000s. I then noticed that the sound, which had been louder in the left ear seemed to move into my right ear and I could hear, but very quietly, in the right ear to about 9,500. I am 65 years old.
In my 20’s I could hear 18 kHz so well they audiologist asked if I was cheating. Decades later I top out around 10.5 kHz. I’m a musician and am now diligent about hearing protection as I don’t want to risk losing more.
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.
I capped out at a 2-3-count before 16,000.
It was odd, until it hit 8,000 I had to keep lowering the sound until I was down to level 2, then between 8&10 I had to start raising the volume though not by much. Then everything blanked out at a 3-count before 16,000. So I retried it and raised the volume to the very highest level as it began to fade out, got perhaps an extra .5-1 second count before it blanked out again.
38 years old - female.
That's because of how humans hear certain frequencies, like the ones babies make, better and louder.
32 and can hear up to 17.5k which is wild to me but I thank God I didn't blow my eardrums out when I was younger to be able to hear as well as I do now.
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
Hello, thank you.
I am a lifelong sufferer of Tinnitus and Tones felt in my brain and my ears. I am 63.
Pain hit at 2000 HZ up to 4000HZ then passed. I stopped hearing the tones below 16000.
As I sit here now typing with earphones still on, Pitch is very high and non stop hum is louder. I have been to ENT, says I am alright. I also saw my Nuerologist about it. They keep telling me to see the other🙃.
Thank you again.🦋
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!!!
8
8000
I have my volume as low as possible and felt incredible discomfort right as the sound started. I'm 59, female, and the frequency immediately makes me feel like I am going to throw up. It also makes me start sweating and feel confused. I do suffer from migraines and have to avoid certain visual triggers, but as my eyesight has started to get worse, it seems like I am much more sensitive to sound. I had my finger on the volume control and had to stop right away.
I’m 58, and I could hear up around the 13k-14k mark. Interestingly enough, I tried turning up the volume way up once I could no longer hear, and I felt a strange sensation in my head, sort of some kind of pressure. So it’s not that my ears can no longer sense the higher frequencies, something else is going on…. 🤔
I just tried this on me and my husband. Now I now why he never mentioned anything about the awful loud squeaky sound that our car brake makes that I’ve been complaining about!
🤣🤣🤣 time for a hearing test!
It's very important to know that your headphones might have limitations.
Ever since I experienced a NDE I have had "tinnitus" or something like it. I am 47 in 2 wks, and I can hear up 14k as well. I attribute the loss of the upper frequencies to listening to music WAY too loud my entire life (but that's not likely to change)
Everyone’s ability to hear high frequencies declines as we age.
43 year old guitarist, mostly protected my ears since I was 18. Gigs are not as loud as they used to be and I have much less tolerance than I used to. Started to get quiet at 14.5k and went silent at 15k. That was with headphones and mobile phone speakers. Feel lucky. I hope science can fix this stuff eventually!
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 :(
I feel as though everyone watching got this and it may be to do with the video. For me it also went quiet around 14k and silent at 16k
There's some **very** early promise in potential gene therapy treatment for promoting hair cell regeneration down the track, so it's all possible
Hi 🙋🏼♀️
Here is 37 years old flight attendant. I topped out around 13000 kHz , guess that’s okay according to the job.
Thanks for the video 😊
Almost 41 and I can hear up to 16.5. My kids came running down the stairs complaining the sounds were hurting their ears lol
Once it reaches the 15 to 16k it makes me.want to throw up idk why
tbh the highest I heard was around 20 kHz. I'm 11
I wanna say my phone cuts out at 16,000 hz because i can hear and then it cuts out, but it does not cut out smoothly. I can still hear the 16000 hz pretty easily and it cuts out. Maybe i can’t hear past 16,000 but i think it may be my earbuds haha.
Sharp roll off at 12,000. 52 years old and I've been a musician since I was in my early teens.
I must take pretty good care of my hearing. I'm 37 and could still hear the 16,000 on my phone without headphones while outside with noisy traffic and loud cicadas right by me.
I am 61, and I have high frequency loss in both ears. I took your test, and I could only hear up to the 2000 mark. Yes, I do wear Phonak M-R30 hearing aids. I feel they are working. Is there a test when wearing the hearing aids to see how well you hear with them on?
Around 16000 I lost the sound. My 9 year old said are you deaf lol
I have suffered from tinnitus for the last two years. A constant high pitched ringing. I can hear all the way from 20 to 18000hz. How good must my hearing have been before the tinnitus? Or maybe there is another reason for the ringing in my ears?
I could hear to about 16000hz on a lowish volume on my laptop without headphones. Couple of drops in the 1000hz to 3000hz range. Not too bad for 31 i think? Still not managed to match my tinnitus tone though.
That’s exactly what I got and I’m 31 next month..
Same for me. I’m 27.
8,000 and then my tinnitus drowns out the tone.
I'm 52 and was able to hear up to somewhere between 13,000 - 14,000 Hz
Similar to me, 48 years old, 14-14.5k
14 and got to 13.5k (i can hear a lot more noises than people around me and i do get overstimulated from them so i listen to music a lot)
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🙂
I'm 43 and 15k was when it got just out of range, suffer from excess wax build up
UA-cam videos cut off audio above (including) 16kHz just so you know.
Hey Neko, thanks for the heads up. Do you have a reference for that as I can't seem to find one, Matthew
Wait why?
i'm 52 suffer with tinnitus that's is getting progressively worse over time i topped out at 5.5k i go pick up my hearing aids on this coming Wednesday i'm nervous and excited ... i've been fighting breast cancer now two years i think the tinnitus is a result from the chemotherapy but hey at the moment at lest i'm breathing in and breathing out
I am 37 and could hear up to 16 kHz is that good?
YES!
Same for me! 37 and 16kHz!
No
I'm 54, musician and still my ears can listen clearly around 16,000 Hz
I am the same age and can also here 16khz although not a musician.
Heard till the last... or maybe not...just till 19,300 hz
It hurts tho lol
By the last it kinda dissapeared on 17,400 or somth and just returned in 18,000 somth
Yeah its cool
34 years old and zoomed in to try to see the precise point that it began to fade for me. It was just after what looked like 18,500
Sad. 45 and have protected my ears my whole life but tinnitus started in both ears suddenly a few years ago. Other neurological symptoms started then too, so I don't think it is related to overexposure. Now the dropoff starts at 8k and pitch above that is buried in the constant ringing of the tinnitus. As a musician and recording and mixing enthusiast it's not ideal.
As a 18 Year old
I can hear about 17.5GHz
I am 64 and got to around 14k (just listening to laptop sound, no headphones) I think that is pretty good? I have been a DJ/Radio presenter so I don't think I have done too badly.
I guess that is good, I am 48 and can't hear above 14-15k
46 years old, lost the tone between 13K and 13.5K
Same...but I'm 49 years old. I hear a tone or ringing in my ears all the time....that sounded like 5000 hz
About 12.3 kHz. Very abrupt cutoff - gone at 13K. I'm male, 67 years old. Last time I tested was maybe 5 or 10 years ago and it was about 13K. So haven't lost much. Feeling happy today ;-) Note: If I stay at low volume, of course, I crap out lower - around 10 kHz. But I figure it should be fair to turn up the volume 20 dB or so - so I did. FWIW, I don't go to concerts or football games, etc without some hearing protection. However, I'm not fanatitical about it. Don't use any while mowing grass and I do use earbuds at maybe around 100 dB sometimes since I have always liked loud I(but not excessive) volume when listening to some music - to be able to hear the full sound stage. But after one concert in my youth where my ears rang for a half hour, I figured those levels were not good for me - so I never did that again ! ;-) Nice UA-cam video. Thanks for providing this !
I didn't mess around with the speakers. Just left them at your voice level "a bit louder" than I'd normally watch videos. it was 8,000 and I'm 80.
32. Lost it at 2.5k... masisve bummer.
I’m 49 and I was able to hear up to about 15,000. The rest after that, I wasn’t sure if I was hearing it, or if it was my tinnitus messing with it. After 15,000 it seemed like a soft distant sound wavering up and down a little. I was diagnosed with tinnitus in January 2020 after having Flu Type A and Covid, so hopefully this range is still pretty good considering.
I thought my hearing was badly damaged because I could only hear up to 4,000hz but it was just the bad speakers I was listening with lol
14 kHz I am 62 years of age... My right ear is OK left is less
Thanks, 😀 Matthew
That was painful haha but I could hear almost until the very end. Not sure I want to though!
I tried this with just my new Starkey Genesis AI ITE devices. I stopped hearing the tone around 7500 Hz. I will try again with headphones.
Early 50s, starts to drop off at 4.5-5k, I hear nothing by 7.5k. Y'all be nice to your ears. I wasn't.
16,000Hz, 34M though I did throw a firecracker down a pipe in the ground as a kid and became deaf for a few seconds. Not sure how much that could have affected my hearing
Sorry to hear that, it may be worth a test! Thanks for sharing, 😀 Matthew
Great video.
58 year old with tinnitus.
Heard it up until 8000 that's it.
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
56 about 8k on phone speaker - i do have high frequency hearing loss and have known that for 20 odd years
I'm 28 years old and I can hear yup to 14500 Hz
Thank you for sharing! Matthew 😊
Im 55 and could hear to 8000, I have trouble hearing someone when there is back ground noise or in crowds. I have tinnitus, a constant high pitch sound 24/7. Thinking about trying a OTC device, any recommendations?
Hey Deanne, I’d say it’s worth getting your hearing tested! Thanks for the comment, Matthew
I am Signaler trained in Morse Codes which sharpened my hearing mainly to the mid to high frequencies. Has this compromised my hearing too?
32yo and i stop hearing it right around the 16k mark.
Thanks Felgrand! Matthew
I couldn't hear at 16k and onwards - I have left ear severe high frequency loss at 36 yrs of age. I guess my right ear is overcompensating 😅
16k is great Ash! Matthew
@HearingTracker thank you for the feedback, really happy to hear this!
It was difficult to tell. Because you only put frequencies up at certain levels and they were VERY infrequent. Can you please do another one where every say 500hz is on screen rather than every 4,000? It would be a much more accurate test. As I am really interested as I suffer with Tinnitus and Diplacusis and ha ve done for years. Also I am 75% deaf in my left ear. Thank you.
Hello, on lower-left side of a screen there is numbers. “Accurate tone” leading to frequency numbers. They are very precise
That was weird.. at 16000hz to 20000hz It sounded like the frequencies was actually going in reverse?
Lost it around 12.5K I'm 53. However weird things happened on the way up. Around 8K, I seem to lose it in my right ear for a couple of seconds before it came back. I've no idea what's going on there.
Around 16,300 is where I lost it.
Thanks for sharing! Matthew
8K - 8.5K, I'm 72 years old. I probably should get hearing aids! lol
17.4kHz-ish. I'm 37. I'm using studio monitors (JBL 305) instead of headphones.
I hear all the way to the end but it becomes more wave-like and fluctuates/vibrates (interference pattern?) in the higher frequencies. I can also hear the whole spectrum of frequency pulsing back and forth and diminishing in frequency minutes after the video.
at one time, while early 20's i could hear 22k. Now at 72, i lost it at abouto 3,000, then back in at 3500 and up to 5000 and it stopped suddenly. I play horn and have a very hard time hearing speakers, conductors, and others in a room or class setting. My research is that this has more to do with brain function than ear function. That is the causes are brain related - stress, worry, pressure, lifestyle, health, physical shape, etc. GEt that in order and the hearing will improve. Apparenly hynotherapy will also work in sotme cases. Interesting stuff . . . .
Well, my desired Hearing Range would be 0.005-1,000,000 Hz, and
My Current Hearing Range is from E0-C#10.
I'm 71. I didn't hear anything before about 135 HZ and nothing after about 9000 HZ
I have a question about this experiment. I know that you suggested to adjust our headphones so that things aren't too loud throughout the experiment, but are we supposed to keep our headphone volume at the same level the whole way through to do the experiment? I kept mine at about half volume throughout and stopped hearing things at around 14k maybe but then I did it again and found that if I increase the volume at about 14k, I could hear all the way to 20k. so I am not sure what that means for my hearing.... did I cheat?
Hit space to stop as soon as it got silent, 16k and some, pretty good I think, but I've noted that each side of mine hear some frequencies better, as my right hearing can't hear a pitch around the 600hz there, but the left one can clearly.
I'm almost 44, I can hear up to 15k and nothing after. My wife almost 38 can't hear past 8k...o.o😳😳
The 8 hz 1-1600 hz i could hear, I’m 45 that pretty good 👍 after ear wax removal, this will help improve my trance creativity better
I could hear up to 16000 and I’m 14
Thanks, 😀 Matthew
77 years old and it drops off a little over 8k. Back in the late 60s our speakers/headphones might have been the limit but I could hear the upper teens without trouble. Never liked extreme volume though.
My right ear capped at 16.5k but my left ear can hear a bit more and possibly to 20k hz but it could all be in my brain. The thing is I have this weird high frequency ringing in my ear that makes it hard to discern anything after 16.5k but it’s only in my right ear.
I’m 22 and I think like 17k was my max. Tho interestingly I noticed that probably around 14k I felt like tone deaf it didn’t sound like a scale anymore
I can hear up to about 18 kHz then it cuts out. 15 kHz is very clear. CRTs are loud and annoying
I can hear up to about 4000 without headphones at normal volume. With headphones turning the volume up a bit, I heard up to 8000 and then that was it.
I started to hear the sound at 163 and could hear it until 11500 around 12700 sound disappeared completely.
I'm female 43 years young
I'm 15 and I heard up to a lottle over 19k, there were a few fluxations 5k was kinda quiet and 2k was very loud.
22 years old I can hear up to 25k as far as I can tell.I have this annoying capacity to hear capacitors when they are dying slowly
0:59 👉🏼1. This one is perfect for me 125hz it said
250hz😳
500hz🤨
2000hz 🎉😊
4000hz 😮
8000hz 😊
16000hz-20000hz i cant hear it i dont know why
Is that normal?
from 125 Untill after 8000, so timestamp 4.07 I stopped and it was so annoying
Do you understand that most of the headphones and speakers are cutting down almost everything above 14k hz?😂 It looks like a cool idea at first, but people might think that they are old just because of this xD Even though most of them can hear much higher sounds in the real world.
just turned 20 could here to 19700 and everything after that sounded like a pitch going low to up
Age 42, at 4:05 minute it went silent. What does that mean?
There's nothing over exactly 12kHz, this tests depend on so many factors like reproduction system used it makes absolutely no sense. I know what i'm writing about.
I am 11 and I can hear to about 19kHz and with full volume close to microphone it was 20000kHz and it hurt my ears so badly and I am young
Just got over 15000hz then it dropped out - 34 yr old female.
Interesting enough i tested both ear separately. Left ear top out at 18.1k and right ear 17.6k. I am 23
I am 45 and been working construction and very loud noises. I could hear up to 8,000 then had to turn up and then it started done weird fading in and out until the end.
at 16000Hz why does it sound like it goes down in frequency then continues going up until 20000Hz? Did anyone else hear that?
37 male and lost it at 14-15k .. tinnitus in left ear :-(
14000 hz 30 years old but i honestly habe not exleriemcdd loud things like were earphones as well
im the 500th like!!!
@@isaacniller6786 wahoo!!! 😃😃😃
16,000….. 39 years old
Thanks, 😀 Matthew
Tried this after watching a David Attenborough documentary, where a bird was singing but couldnt hear anything, tone death at 8k according to this challenge
16000-16200 was where it transitioned from relatively load to nothing for me
I’m 60 and I hear 19, 000 but I live near Hermius
I can tell if the 18k is being played, but anything past that and I got nothing, in my twenties so I guess that makes sense.
15k with speakers with headphone up to 20k but only left and very very faint after 15k.
16,000hz, after that I couldn't hear it clearer,am 23 hope it's okay
Heard it up to 6000 Hertz. That's through my cochlear implant!
Wow! That's not too bad, as far as I understand it. I am due for a CI (right ear) in the coming months. I've been so worried I won't hear anything above 4k or so.
Wow! That’s very interesting. Thank you for sharing! Matthew
I could hear ring 14K Hz. I have too much tinnitus to distinguish after that.
I am 70 years old. I listened on different speakers to help verify the drop off was at the same point. I lost it at 8K. It was consistent with cheap BT speaker, quality headphones and through my stereo set up. I wonder if working in loud manufacturing environments through my 20's had an impact. I worked in a stamping plant for many years.
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
