Online hearing test

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I've started to notice some whining in my ears, and decided to look for a test online. Can't hear a thing above 14khz, which rather terrifies me after testing with perfect hearing a few years ago, and that was after mandatory military service with a lot of practise shooting. I guess I've really f**ked up. :lol:

How do you make out?

~18k - sounds not very pleasant.

You might get bad results if your speakers/soundcard/software might not play higher frequencies properly. Your daily form and stress level might also affect the results.

Not to forget the aging:

This chart shows the age-depending (Jahre=years) frequency response of the human ear up to 10khz - kinda sad to see what's expecting us sooner or later :lol:

I can't wait until my hearing deteriorates :lol: I don't know why, my hearing should be f**ked up, but it's not, and it's such a pain in the a$s to be the only one with functioning ears among all my half deaf 30+ friends.

Be careful what you wish for.

And mine's a shocking 13 whatsit before I hear any whiney whistles - but who wants to hear them anyway?

:notworthy:

I fell a little better now, since the horrible noise only starts at 16Khz... :eek:

I wonder where the other 4Khz went... :innocent:
