Pay attention to your ears. Don't listen too loud. A low sound volume is sufficient at the beginning, you can increase it slightly when you approach the area where you stop hearing.
For anyone wondering, most headphones will stop at around the 13-15k hz range so don't worry if you are under 30 and think you have the hearing of a 50 yo
I'm 27 and almost cried when i thought i seriously fucked up my hearing. It's not unwarranted since i have a mdd disorder that made me use headsets in order to trigger dissociation. I hope I'm not really messed up
Man, I didn't hear much past 13k, but I gotta tell you I sure drove my cat crazy with the higher frequencies. She had no idea where the sound was coming from.
Just a heads up to anyone listening to this, but a lot of devices (including headphones) have a cap on the frequency in which they can play at. If you hear a sudden or steep cutoff, then there is a pretty good chance that your device simply cannot play frequencies at that high of a range.
Be wary of this test it depends also on the frequency range of your headphones. As a Audiophile. I test headsets against their claimed frequency response, no where even close. With a set of Apple earphones i could only get to 12.34Khz with my Sennheiser RS 175 I can hear to 14.6
Also youtube's compression tends to cut off all the higher frequencies anyway as it doesn't really go higher than 192kbps , I know for a fact I can hear those highest frequencies when I'm EQing stuff in Ableton/Logic, but they're not playing for me here - definitely being chopped off It's the reason why people frown upon DJs who rip their music from UA-cam, it sounds different in the club because you're missing all the highest frequencies and you really notice it at high volumes
@@marpetjud yup, with the video I couldn't hear anything past 13.5 kHz, but creating a tone myself I can go up to 15 kHz, which is pretty much where my age and the age the video suggests agree.
I remember I was at around 18000 when I was 17 and I took the test again some years later was still around 18000. Now I am 23 and have the hearing ability of a 26 year old according to this and it makes sense, because I didn't really protect my ears but worked in an environment that is way too loud. SO PLEASE PROTECT YOUR HEARING
I've been producing and listening to music at 200% volume for the last 4 years, and I still go all the way to 20khz. But I know eventually I'll regret my decisions lol
@@SuperNinja05 If you cant hear it, thats totally fine. but regardless of what youtube's sample rate usage is. There is somehow sound playing past the 16khz point besides the background noise. I recommend using headphones if you're having trouble hearing it.
This test is BS and also depends on your computer hardware. I am 55 and by this test I have hearing of 46 year old. But as I am working with induction heaters, which work in this frequency range, I know, that cut-off frequency for me is slightly above 16 kHz, giving me 28.
40 and I could hear to 34, also a relief since my ears aren't what they used to be lol. When I was 18 they used to call me dog ears at the store I was working at since I used to be able to hear folks whisper across the store. Can't do that anymore and I sure miss it! I took one of these when I was like 28 and it's kind of depressing how spot on it is right? Can't fight some aspects of aging I suppose.
The test appears to be affected by how you have your volume set. I tried it three times with different volume levels and I could hear more higher frequencies at higher volume levels. I cut off below 10Khz. I also have Tinnitus after 30+ years in the Army even though I used hearing protection religiously. Around 6.5Khz it's a little bit difficult to separate the tone from Tinnitus.
I have always been curious. I see tinnitus as a spectrum, of course. There are varying grades of it, I assume. What I am curious about is when people reach 50, there is always some kinds or constant beeping or ringing in your head at some level, or if there exists people who can enjoy complete quietness at this age? I sure have my share of it, but it doesn’t affect me too much. I also can’t say that I never went to loud gigs or never listened to loud music either, so that probably is some of the ringing at least.
I can sleep on my 'good' ear, and have a cricket placed on the pillow next to my head and not hear the cricket! I didn't make it to 5500.....too much Army, not enough ear protection.
Omg! I can hear the pitch all the way until the indicator popped out of the right hand side of my phone. I'm so keeping that little white thingy as a souvenir. Thanks.
If the difference between the age of the test and your real age is very important, it is probably a hardware limitation. Try on several devices (computers, phone), speaker and headphones. Apple seems to block frequencies from 16khz... This test gives only an approximate age. For best result the video must be watched in HD and you must have a good internet connection otherwise youtube lowers the audio quality. You will get a better result if you have not been confronted in the last 48 hours with a loud noise.
I’m 75, heard it up to 9455HZ. I played guitar in rock bands for about 40 years, thought my hearing was ruined standing in front of a speaker stack, apparently not!
"thought my hearing was ruined standing in front of a speaker stack, apparently not!". But what if the reason for that "9455HZ" limit you mentioned instead of something *_way_* higher is because your hearing _is_ ruined from "playing guitar in rock bands for about 40 years" and, while you were at it, "standing in front of a speaker stack"? Just sayin'.
@@derp4687 I repeat, I’m 75 years old, and this test revealed my hearing as that of a 64 year old. My comment was only for information, I wasn’t boasting.
@@thomaswigfield7623 I’m not saying you were boasting. I’m just saying your upper limit could’ve been higher if there had been less noise exposure over your lifetime.
63 years old and about 3200Hz, but I knew that before I started. I'm a double hearing aid wearer and functionality deaf in one ear. My aids do a really good job up to about 3000 Hz and on the "Music" setting I get to almost 3900 Hz. Fascinating test! Thanks for putting it up!
Almost the same....61, stopped at 3476, first hearing aid at age 13 (right ear, functionally deaf now), two aids for many years now. Thank goodness for Phonak!
Music setting?? That's sick! Are they able to make music actually enjoyable or is it still a pain/annoying to listen to? I've heard that hearing aids distort sound even though they make it louder, it doesn't sound "good"
@@bailey2517 - It's actually better, usually. Depending on the setting the aids more-or-less gracefully attenuate frequencies outside of the voice range and do some other audio processing to increase intelligibility. On the music setting it opens up the passed frequency range and does some different processing to allow me to hear a fuller audio spectrum at the expense of the best "normal talking" intelligibility. Like before I lost my hearing? Nope, but better than on the normal setting. Another setting tightens down the spectrum even further and changes the direction from I hear to optimize right in front me for conversations in noisy environments (It's never great.). A fourth adds what amounts to a selective "pink noise" to help with tinnitus management in very quiet environments. Definitely not "your grandfather's hearing aids!"
@@markt.3454 That's really cool!! I'm a diy speaker builder, so this is definitely something I'm interested in but never really learned anything about. I should look into hearing aids more.
This one's definitely dependent on the volume and soeaker quality on your device. At half the volume on my smartphone (which I bought back in October 2023), I could only reach 14.7 kHz, but once I pumped the volume to 100% I could reach the 20 kHz upper end kf the scale. For context, I turn 28 in July. I occasionally listen to music at loud volume, but otherwise I haven't had a lot of exposure to loud environments such as construction sites or raves.
Wow, this one's the genuine article. Usually, these videos don't actually go as high as the frequencies stated, but this one actually plays the rising sound all the way through.
I am 66 and to me the sound stopped at 8929 hz with an indicated age of 65 . So I'm quite impressed with whoever put this test together . well done ;-)
19, could hear until the end. Which I found odd given I have tinnitus. There were some moments where I could barely hear it until the frequency changed.
@@MatVeiQaaa tinnitus can be annoying at times but i don't mind it for the most part.. listening to music and videos with my headphones seems to help me get my mind off of it
My girlfriend is 59, worked in a factory for 25 years, Sometimes forgetting to put her earplugs in. Her threshold was 8000. I am a retired musician, 60 y/o, played in local cover bands for 30 years. My threshold was 12,500 but it may be that my studio monitors were limited to producing frequencies that high.
I'm a few years older, worked 9 years in a factory plus rode subways in NYC when I was young, and have a threshold between 8000 and 8500. Somewhat worse than it says to expect for my age.
I'm 61 with Tinnitus. I worked in a live music bar for a couple years as a youth. Then I raced NASCAR super trucks for 15 years. 5200 left ear 6200 right ear. That high pitched buzz is something I live with 24/7. Most of the time I dont think about it. But when everything is quiet....there it is.
Go to doctor for treatment and if it not cure then may be it's not tinnitus. That instructed sound has very significance in spirituality, it's called sound of silence or anhad naad.
I've had tinnitus all my life although I didn't realise that is what it was until I was 30 when I talked to someone about that high pitched tone, I just assumed everyone heard it. Like you I only really become aware of it when the room is silent.
I'm 36 and have it for 3 years. I'm a factory worker where it's loud, that's where i got it from. But i don't pay attention and mostly i don't even know it's there, it's mostly a static noise and sometimes it actually disappears (on those occasion i pay extra attention to be sure lol), depends on the day or how tired i am.
Mine seems to stop on almost exactly that number too. I have a arctis 1 that claims to go up to 20000hz so, unless its a lie or my changes to the eq brought that number down, I guess im around 29 in hearing. Pretty spot on as I am indeed 29
Wow! This was crazy accurate! I tried it twice and my hearing ages were 61 and 62. For the record I'm 62! Amazing and now I don't feel like my hearing is shot; just normal.
Men's hearing declines -- along with men's health in general -- earlier than does women's, and I expect this test is averaged out between men and women.
Apparently I'm 90. Might be because I'm in my 70's. Then there's the years of working construction, electric guitars and motorcycles. I'm guessing my wife speaks at the higher ranges since I have a hard time hearing her sometimes.
I keep playing it at differing volume levels while not watching the screen and I continually get my exact true age. Even headphones gave me the same result.
Age 62, hearing age 44. I guess this explains why I stopped hearing bats sometime in the last few years… I never liked loud sounds. The few times I went to rock concerts I ended up with my fingers in my ears the whole time and even so my ears were ringing afterwards. How can people enjoy that volume of sound?!
Each human it's a whole different world. For me, I neither don't like concerts so much... But I DO LOVE METAL. and when I feel the music, turned up the volume to MAX.
I go to gigs and wear proper earplugs for concerts. Normal plugs muffle sound and it sounds like garbage, but if you get proper earplugs, you can hear lots of detail in the music and save yourself from an earache.
With a pair of bookshelf speakers I was able to listen to a frequency around my age with an offset of 2 years. Not so bad after spending my teens and 20's with earphones glued to my ears 8 hours a day. Also that would explain why some tracks feel "different" from when I was younger. There are no filters, DSP plugin or equalization that could bring back those lost frequencies.
I'd disagree. I used all of that DSP, plugins, EQ and other stuff for this test, and had no problem hearing up to max 20kHz on headphones in this video while gradually increasing volume a bit at a certain point, and I doubt that I'd normally hear the whole spectrum if I didn't amplify those frequencies by plugins. I'm just too old. Normally, only teenagers can hear such high frequencies. If someone wants any proof. At a certain frequency, irc around 16kHz, the tone sounded like it restarted from lower pitch and then again was going higher. That was weird and sounded possibly like mirroring in the Opus codec, but maybe I'm wrong here. Then also some noise kicked in. And in volume, everything was noticeably quieter somewhere above 16kHz.
You can use equalizer to boost up the lost frequencies. You can take a look at on ear fidelity or squig link to have an idea on eq. To keep things simple; you can add extra treble in order to boost your lost frequencies
Depending on high or low you had the volume set on your computer through the headphones, will depend on if you can hear the high pitch noise at the end or not. Even at the beginning of the video, i tested out the volume ranges and you can hear different things if the volume is sky high or if the volume was real low.
I've always assumed my hearing to be totally destroyed from 90's raves, car audio sound off comps, and loud working equipment. I've done a few of these tests today from various sources and can confirm that I've knocked an average of 5 years off of my hearing age. I'll take that as a lucky win. 😃
My tinnitus tells me from this test that I should be reaching puberty in a few years. Then I can relive all those concerts, this time with hearing protection.
For me it's negative 6. I can live with that. I was expecting worse, if it's too loud then you're too old. Not for me, being 50 I still crank it up loud.
I'm 35 and I could hear it until the very end... I took two hearing tests on a medical examination for work last year and the doctors were impressed on how well I could hear. But I think it is worth it to mention that I suffer from misophonia, so I am pretty sensitive to "not loud" kind of noises =/
I'm 19 and I made it to the end. I thought I stopped hearing it and paused only to realize it wasn't aftermath ringing in my ear; I was still listening to the frequency. This is actually crazy considering I'm deaf in my right ear partially.
These pure tones are dangerous! Never play such tones at full volume! It can cause hearing loss and permanent tinnitus within a few seconds! Please be careful!
I'm 14 and heard all the way to the end after a few times when my ear started adjusting after the absolute pain that was 2kHz. I'm surprised since I didn't even know my headphones kept such a high frequency (their Lenovo btw). I always make sure my headphone volume is at like, 20% so i dont damage my ears, good to know I'm ok still, hopefully it stays that way. Knowing everyone in the comments is so much older than me is weird lol, I just came here for fun.
if ur getting that high freq response on cheap headphone u theres a slight possibility that u might be on high volumes which is very dangerous check with a decibel metre for 85> db above that is hearing risk
I've been an audio producer since 1992 and have protected my hearing religiously since 1988. Turning 50 this year and 14,100 hz is my cutoff (studio listening environment). It was 19,500 hz when I was 29. DON'T WEAR EARBUDS PEOPLE !!!
The hell do you mean 'don't wear earbuds'? What, are we supposed to just play everything on speakers all the time? Sounds like a genetic issue or something, I'm 26 years old, listen to loud noises on my headphones and AirPods every day, and according to this (completely non-scientifically-proven) video, my hearing age is 30, which is clearly completely fine considering I'm 26.
@@xonaclan7317 youtube has a limit of 16khz so it cuts off after that (unless it was changed because on another video people could never get lower then 23 as their hearing age and some of those people were 10 years old
I've got the hearing of an 84 year old, about 20 years older than I am, I've been hard of hearing a long time, my wife always sits/stands/walks on my right side because voices on the left are often undistinguishable, for the most part, and my mind starts 'filling the blanks' with sometimes demented and off the wall stuff.
It depends on your headphones or speaker quality. In high school electronics in the 1960s we used to test our hearing with a signal generator. I could hear up to almost 18,000, higher than some of the other classmates. This test said I can hear up to 12, 489 Hz. BTW, before they changed names in 1968 frequency was measured in "cycles", not Hertz. Hertz was the name of a scientist or inventor in the 1700 or 1800s.
I've wondered for a long time when the change expressing frequency in "cycles" was transitioned to "Hertz". I would not have guessed this occurred in a specific year, but it seems about right. In the past, I have encountered old technical manuals where oscillator frequencies are noted in "MC" and "kC" - Megacycles and kilocycles respectively.
So after around 17000 Hz I stop hearing the tone, but I start feeling it. It causes a pressure in my head. It's not painful, but it's very recognizable.
At 26 turning 27 soon and being friends with rock band and a decade of hearing drums and guitars for that long i stoped at 28 im honestly satisfied. I thought it would be way worse
I've always been super sensitive to high pitched noises growing up and I guess I still am, because as a 33 year old I apparently have the ears of a 17 year old still. I wonder where that puts me on the hearing ability as compared to humans in general.
I did this with my eyes closed and landed at +1 year from my actual age. Very impressed. Guess that means I didn't rock and roll hard enough in my young years though
Did the same! First round, I did it with speakers. 2nd time, with headphones and closed eyes. It turned out, I'm 7 years good. I'm very pleased, after all this loud bands, I 've seen live on stage...
This hit my age exactly. Impressive, but also depressing, because I'm in my 50s and ... 1) Can't believe how much hearing I've already lost 2) And how much I'm going to lose over the rest of my life.
My headphones cut out at 13KHz, but I know I can hear much higher than that. As an adult I was always annoyed with those buzzing sounds they put at schools to deter youths from hanging out there after school hours, I could hear those half a block away in my late 30s.
I’m listening to this through iPhone 14 Pro Max. On this test I stopped hearing sound at about 15,000 Hz. I listen to a speaker test video and I stopped hearing sound at around 18,000 Hz.
Brilliant, instant result. You really need to check the system first. For example, placing an iPhone 13 mini's mic next to the speakers of a DT 770 pro 8ohm headset and using a sound analyser app shows a tall spike corresponding to the sound in the video moving up to the 20K mark. Whatever the limitations of the system (computer- connection-headphones- phone mic) if you see a sharp spike of any particular frequency on the screen then that sound is definitely there. Certainly very revealing.
If the difference between the age of the test and your real age is very important, it is probably a hardware limitation. Try on several devices (computers, phone), speaker and headphones.

A good test of your hardware too, I can very clearly hear my surround speakers stop precisely at 17khz, which are Dolby certified and quite expensive. My headphones stopped around 15khz and were over $250.
I have tinnitus and my friends often complain that I can never hear them well in public. But according to this, I, as a 23 year old, have roughly average hearing for my age. So at least I haven't experienced any hearing loss despite the constant ringing in my ears. Could be worse!
@@gasmanoav I think just one. It seems pretty consistent, but sometimes I can temporarily manipulate the pitch with sound therapy/noise masking audio. Ultimately it always returns to the same steady tone though. Having multiple tones must be awfully frustrating, I can't even imagine.

I'm 39 and my left ear is 50, my right is 36. It is interesting hear the tone start to shift right after 9kHz because I was 30dB down in my left ear above 3kHz when it was properly tested last week, I have hearing loss following a viral infection but it seems to be improving.
I'm 58, left ear about 52 but right ear 60 with tinnitus. When I was a teenager I had fantastic frequency response, I tested with a signal generator to over 20kHz.

I've seen many results of people in this comment section who got to hearing age 30, mostly from teenagers/children. Believe me, a UA-cam video does not determine you have hearing loss/issues. As 1nnov TV said, it is a software limitation. This test is really accurate only for people who get results above 40.
@@1nnovtv As long as statistics for nerds show Opus, everything should be fine and contain up to 20kHz in audio stream. YT has changed at a certain point, and min. 480p is no longer necessary for that irc, so it's the same audio stream for all resolutions unless it's 144p or maybe even 240p.
Just because you’re 20 years old or under and you can’t hear 16,000 hz or above, don’t worry. Some devices fail to produce very high frequency sound. I’m 15 and can only hear up to 15,500 hz on my ipad, but I can hear up to 18,000 hz on my chromebook.

This is exactly what is happening. Look at @smithno41's comment he could hear up to 22kHz when he was young, he gradually lost the high frequencies, now he only hears 11kHz at 75 years old

This test is BS and also depends on your computer hardware. I am 55 and by this test I have hearing of 46 year old. But as I am working with induction heaters, which work in this frequency range, I know, that cut-off frequency for me is slightly above 16 kHz, giving me 28.
16 and my hearing age is 70 lmao. but honestly i would rather have that :P
I'm 38 and stopped hearing the frequency at age 40, which is quite a relief as I've blasted a *lot* of loud music through my headphones in my time.
40 and I could hear to 34, also a relief since my ears aren't what they used to be lol. When I was 18 they used to call me dog ears at the store I was working at since I used to be able to hear folks whisper across the store. Can't do that anymore and I sure miss it!
I took one of these when I was like 28 and it's kind of depressing how spot on it is right? Can't fight some aspects of aging I suppose.

That's how they do real hearing tests
The test appears to be affected by how you have your volume set. I tried it three times with different volume levels and I could hear more higher frequencies at higher volume levels. I cut off below 10Khz. I also have Tinnitus after 30+ years in the Army even though I used hearing protection religiously. Around 6.5Khz it's a little bit difficult to separate the tone from Tinnitus.
Same here
I have always been curious. I see tinnitus as a spectrum, of course. There are varying grades of it, I assume. What I am curious about is when people reach 50, there is always some kinds or constant beeping or ringing in your head at some level, or if there exists people who can enjoy complete quietness at this age?
I sure have my share of it, but it doesn’t affect me too much. I also can’t say that I never went to loud gigs or never listened to loud music either, so that probably is some of the ringing at least.
I can sleep on my 'good' ear, and have a cricket placed on the pillow next to my head and not hear the cricket! I didn't make it to 5500.....too much Army, not enough ear protection.

If the difference between the age of the test and your real age is very important, it is probably a hardware limitation. Try on several devices (computers, phone), speaker and headphones. Apple seems to block frequencies from 16khz... This test gives only an approximate age. For best result the video must be watched in HD and you must have a good internet connection otherwise youtube lowers the audio quality. You will get a better result if you have not been confronted in the last 48 hours with a loud noise.

No.
"thought my hearing was ruined standing in front of a speaker stack, apparently not!". But what if the reason for that "9455HZ" limit you mentioned instead of something *_way_* higher is because your hearing _is_ ruined from "playing guitar in rock bands for about 40 years" and, while you were at it, "standing in front of a speaker stack"?

This was pretty precise. Weird thing was I could feel the frequencies as a weird pressure behind my eyes after I stopped hearing them.
i got a mild headache
Did this with eyes closed. 9218 HZ after a life of loud music in concerts and headphones. Happy with that, as it's stopped on my age !
At age 67 , I stopped hearing at 9950(about 58 year old hearing).
I could hear the 20,000Hz playing 10 years before the video was even made. That must mean I have great hearing.
63 years old and about 3200Hz, but I knew that before I started. I'm a double hearing aid wearer and functionality deaf in one ear. My aids do a really good job up to about 3000 Hz and on the "Music" setting I get to almost 3900 Hz. Fascinating test! Thanks for putting it up!
Almost the same....61, stopped at 3476, first hearing aid at age 13 (right ear, functionally deaf now), two aids for many years now. Thank goodness for Phonak!
Music setting?? That's sick! Are they able to make music actually enjoyable or is it still a pain/annoying to listen to? I've heard that hearing aids distort sound even though they make it louder, it doesn't sound "good"
@@bailey2517 - It's actually better, usually. Depending on the setting the aids more-or-less gracefully attenuate frequencies outside of the voice range and do some other audio processing to increase intelligibility. On the music setting it opens up the passed frequency range and does some different processing to allow me to hear a fuller audio spectrum at the expense of the best "normal talking" intelligibility. Like before I lost my hearing? Nope, but better than on the normal setting. Another setting tightens down the spectrum even further and changes the direction from I hear to optimize right in front me for conversations in noisy environments (It's never great.). A fourth adds what amounts to a selective "pink noise" to help with tinnitus management in very quiet environments. Definitely not "your grandfather's hearing aids!"
@@markt.3454 That's really cool!! I'm a diy speaker builder, so this is definitely something I'm interested in but never really learned anything about. I should look into hearing aids more.
Mine stopped at 3200 also but I kept playing it and it came back all the way through 15000. This test sucks.
This one's definitely dependent on the volume and soeaker quality on your device. At half the volume on my smartphone (which I bought back in October 2023), I could only reach 14.7 kHz, but once I pumped the volume to 100% I could reach the 20 kHz upper end kf the scale.
For context, I turn 28 in July. I occasionally listen to music at loud volume, but otherwise I haven't had a lot of exposure to loud environments such as construction sites or raves.

I've had tinnitus all my life although I didn't realise that is what it was until I was 30 when I talked to someone about that high pitched tone, I just assumed everyone heard it. Like you I only really become aware of it when the room is silent.
I'm 36 and have it for 3 years. I'm a factory worker where it's loud, that's where i got it from. But i don't pay attention and mostly i don't even know it's there, it's mostly a static noise and sometimes it actually disappears (on those occasion i pay extra attention to be sure lol), depends on the day or how tired i am.

Age 62, hearing age 44. I guess this explains why I stopped hearing bats sometime in the last few years…
I never liked loud sounds. The few times I went to rock concerts I ended up with my fingers in my ears the whole time and even so my ears were ringing afterwards. How can people enjoy that volume of sound?!
Each human it's a whole different world.
For me, I neither don't like concerts so much... But I DO LOVE METAL.
and when I feel the music, turned up the volume to MAX.
I always wear earplugs. You can still hear everything, but your ears don't hurt.
I go to gigs and wear proper earplugs for concerts. Normal plugs muffle sound and it sounds like garbage, but if you get proper earplugs, you can hear lots of detail in the music and save yourself from an earache.
With a pair of bookshelf speakers I was able to listen to a frequency around my age with an offset of 2 years. Not so bad after spending my teens and 20's with earphones glued to my ears 8 hours a day. Also that would explain why some tracks feel "different" from when I was younger. There are no filters, DSP plugin or equalization that could bring back those lost frequencies.
Yeah, I feel the same way. It's a bit sad I can't listen to some jams and enjoy them 100% as I used to. At least I had fun.
I'd disagree. I used all of that DSP, plugins, EQ and other stuff for this test, and had no problem hearing up to max 20kHz on headphones in this video while gradually increasing volume a bit at a certain point, and I doubt that I'd normally hear the whole spectrum if I didn't amplify those frequencies by plugins. I'm just too old. Normally, only teenagers can hear such high frequencies.
If someone wants any proof. At a certain frequency, irc around 16kHz, the tone sounded like it restarted from lower pitch and then again was going higher. That was weird and sounded possibly like mirroring in the Opus codec, but maybe I'm wrong here. Then also some noise kicked in. And in volume, everything was noticeably quieter somewhere above 16kHz.
You can use equalizer to boost up the lost frequencies.
You can take a look at on ear fidelity or squig link to have an idea on eq.
To keep things simple; you can add extra treble in order to boost your lost frequencies
55 year old tinnitus sufferer with the hearing of a 79 year old and a cat that now hates me.
42 and have a hearing age of 30, that's a confidence booster.
Depending on high or low you had the volume set on your computer through the headphones, will depend on if you can hear the high pitch noise at the end or not. Even at the beginning of the video, i tested out the volume ranges and you can hear different things if the volume is sky high or if the volume was real low.
Ohh that makes sense now cause I have my volume set to low cause it's night and I don't want to wake up my sister
I've always assumed my hearing to be totally destroyed from 90's raves, car audio sound off comps, and loud working equipment. I've done a few of these tests today from various sources and can confirm that I've knocked an average of 5 years off of my hearing age. I'll take that as a lucky win. 😃
My tinnitus tells me from this test that I should be reaching puberty in a few years.
Then I can relive all those concerts, this time with hearing protection.
For me it's negative 6. I can live with that. I was expecting worse, if it's too loud then you're too old. Not for me, being 50 I still crank it up loud.
I'm 61 and I stopped hearing at the range that said I was 58. So for me, this was pretty accurate.
I'm 35 and I could hear it until the very end... I took two hearing tests on a medical examination for work last year and the doctors were impressed on how well I could hear.
But I think it is worth it to mention that I suffer from misophonia, so I am pretty sensitive to "not loud" kind of noises =/
I'm 19 and I made it to the end. I thought I stopped hearing it and paused only to realize it wasn't aftermath ringing in my ear; I was still listening to the frequency. This is actually crazy considering I'm deaf in my right ear partially.
Just in case.. don't try it again. Take care of that ear men

It depends on your headphones or speaker quality. In high school electronics in the 1960s we used to test our hearing with a signal generator. I could hear up to almost 18,000, higher than some of the other classmates. This test said I can hear up to 12, 489 Hz. BTW, before they changed names in 1968 frequency was measured in "cycles", not Hertz. Hertz was the name of a scientist or inventor in the 1700 or 1800s.
1 Hertz = 1 cycle/second.

I've wondered for a long time when the change expressing frequency in "cycles" was transitioned to "Hertz". I would not have guessed this occurred in a specific year, but it seems about right.

Brilliant, instant result. You really need to check the system first. For example, placing an iPhone 13 mini's mic next to the speakers of a DT 770 pro 8ohm headset and using a sound analyser app shows a tall spike corresponding to the sound in the video moving up to the 20K mark. Whatever the limitations of the system (computer- connection-headphones- phone mic) if you see a sharp spike of any particular frequency on the screen then that sound is definitely there. Certainly very revealing.

How many different tones are you hearing with your tinnitus?

The test only gives an approximate result. For a better result verified that the video is in hd, you may also have a hardware or software limitation
I've seen many results of people in this comment section who got to hearing age 30, mostly from teenagers/children. Believe me, a UA-cam video does not determine you have hearing loss/issues. As 1nnov TV said, it is a software limitation. This test is really accurate only for people who get results above 40.
@@1nnovtv As long as statistics for nerds show Opus, everything should be fine and contain up to 20kHz in audio stream. YT has changed at a certain point, and min. 480p is no longer necessary for that irc, so it's the same audio stream for all resolutions unless it's 144p or maybe even 240p.
Guys don’t panic, a lot depends on speakers/headset quality 😂
I hear you men
Perfect. Hearing tone stops right at my age 30 or 15-16 Khz
Just because you’re 20 years old or under and you can’t hear 16,000 hz or above, don’t worry. Some devices fail to produce very high frequency sound. I’m 15 and can only hear up to 15,500 hz on my ipad, but I can hear up to 18,000 hz on my chromebook.
im 19 and only got to around 15872hz tho i do to hard rock and metal 🤘and listen to it almost everyday as loud as i can lol
SAME
hearing damage is permanent and irreversible.. a hearing injury is not something to be reckoned with
@@rulingstone123 29 years ago i attended Metallica's concert, and it was so loud I could hardly hear anything for a week after that. before that I spent a large part of my time jamming and performing, standing in front of blasting amplifiers. I didn't know better, cause nobody warned me. anyways, I still do attend concerts but I'm a lot more careful now. Last recent concert I went to is megadeth and I brought ear plugs. I still could hear everything clearly through the plugs.
I do a lot of audio so my ears are extremely important to me. I'd need them a good 20-30 more years 😌 good luck and rock on 🤘
I tested two pairs of headphones. With the first one (Bluetooth wireless over-ear Phillips) I was able to hear the sound until the very end although it became very quiet. With the second one (in-ear wired Sony) the sound stopped at around 60 y.o mark. So it really depends :)
My headphones support 20-20000 and stoped at 16000 😢
The hearing age fit my age perfectly! Nice test!
I am 43 and stopped hearing it at 39. This is pretty accurate.
Well I'm 52 and stopped hearing it at 36 imagine that !
im 16 and got to 42 😪😪
@@lucyy8557 You might want to see a doctor. And stop listen to loud music.
@@maxsheng8215 yes sir
Imagine coming back every few years and you realised you can no longer hear it like before
This is exactly what is happening. Look at @smithno41's comment he could hear up to 22kHz when he was young, he gradually lost the high frequencies, now he only hears 11kHz at 75 years old
im 43 and i got 57! tooooo many concerts and loud nights of music :(((( protect your ears peeps. My dogs are still acting crazy though lol
20 with the hearing of an 10 year old and maybe younger, blessed be thy sensory hypersensitivity.
IM 40!
mine suddenly cuts out at 33 , surprising there’s a sudden change. Just thinking could also be out of my headphone frequency range
Mine instantly cuts out a 31 and I’m 25 so fml
Wdym 33? It starts at 2 kHz and ends at 20 kHz... 33 is not achieved
@@PouLS he means the age estimation 33
@@lasergamer-xj4um Oh, that makes sense. Thanks.
20 year old with hearing age 20... I remember being younger and being able to hear down to the low lows😢
Is it also dependant upon how loud the volume is? I had the volume at like 40 initially and i couldnt hear anything past around age 40 but then turned the volume up and could hear it to age 24 (which is my age lol)
I am 13 (14 in a bit less than 5 days after this comment was posted) and my hearing age is 23 (stopped at around 17 kHz). I remember doing these tests when I was around 8 or 9 and it was around 21 or 20 kHz. Anyways, nice video!
I’m 14 and I stopped hearing at 14.5k …. What do I do I’m super concerned
@@Flying-chickIt could be your headphones or speakers. Not all devices can play such a high frequency. If you're still worried just ask the doctor or your parents about getting a hearing test next time you have an appointment.
@@Flying-chick get better headphones
@@jakubossowski8563 I don’t use headphones
I am around 60 and I could hear up to 15 kHz, though I had to turn the volume up at the higher end. At some point there was some painful sound pressure threshold just under 15 kHz rather than sound. I used both iPad and aipods pro with noise cancellation to play this video, with approximately the same result.
My dad lost 80% of his hearing from ear infections as a child. I remember him saying how long it had been since he heard bird song 😢
That’s sad ☹️
