Hearing range.
 
What's your hearing range? Statistically, people aged over 25 start losing some hearing and can't hear high pitched tones as well as younger people.

There's a test here: http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/can-you-hear-this-hearing-test/
Apparently I can still hear 18 kHz faintly, but I hear nothing at 19. Biology, why are you catching up with me ;;

Limey-chan June 6th, 2016 3:23 AM

19 kHz was my limit, even with my volume turned up I couldn't hear a thing at 20.

Also, protip: don't do what I did and listen to them with the volume at max from the off, still wiping the blood from my ears atm.

Spherical Ice June 6th, 2016 3:42 AM

At absolute max volume I can faintly hear something at 21kHz, but it might just be my headphones reacting to receiving sound at all lmao.

Kikaito plush June 6th, 2016 5:13 AM

I could hear nothing with any of them maybe cause I'm deaf in one ear.

stzy June 6th, 2016 5:59 AM

Nah I can't hear shit past 19 kHz with headphones on :(

gimmepie June 6th, 2016 8:05 AM

Weird, I've always been told my hearing was quite decent but I stop hearing it at 17.

Lize June 6th, 2016 8:13 AM

On a somewhat slightly higher volume than usual, 17 is the last one I can hear. 18 only if my volume is 100.

Woops, I suppose my music is too loud.

mayunaise June 6th, 2016 8:42 AM

Stopped hearing at 20, started having trouble hearing at 18. Aww yee.

NinjaRaichu June 6th, 2016 10:53 AM

Weirdly I cant really hear 19 but I can hear 20 & 21.

Sirfetch’d June 6th, 2016 1:56 PM

I am someone who hears everything. I can pick up someone dropping my name in a conversation from 30 feet away. Maybe I am just very aware? As for this test, I can faintly hear 19. I thought that I was picking up on 20 but after replaying it a few times, I simply cannot hear it. 17 and below are deafening to me :s

TwilightBlade June 6th, 2016 5:28 PM

I can hear at 18Hz, but have to turn up my speakers at 19Hz to slightly grasp it. That's decent because I suspected hearing loss when my ears were ringing a few weeks back.

Her June 6th, 2016 6:17 PM

Could faintly hear 17kHz on normal speaker level and really had to throttle them in order to hear 18kHz, couldn't hear 19kHz at all and then heard 20 & 21kHz on a normal level. 22kHz isn't audible to me though. Very odd.

zevarius kerensky June 7th, 2016 5:25 PM

cannot hear 21, otherwize, i can hear em all (aside from 21 and up)

Gabri June 7th, 2016 6:12 PM

I can hear the up to 18kHz well, and 19kHz very very faintly. From 20 on, I don't hear shit.

Giggleswee June 7th, 2016 6:50 PM

...14hz but

I've played instruments for like, 8 years of my life

Sirfetch’d June 7th, 2016 6:57 PM

Gonna move this on over to our latest renovated forum, The Lab, as it might fit a bit better there!

Oh thank god, I was reading the answers and about to have a panic attack because I can't hear AT 14hz

That being said, I shouldn't be shocked, I've always had terrible hearing. I was born so early that my ears weren't fully developed and had to be tested every year until I was 3-4 years-old to make sure I wasn't deaf. I also had tubes as a kid and was told to get a hearing aid at age 18 like 7 years ago..... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

dad June 7th, 2016 7:23 PM

despite also being a musician for eight years, i could hear all except 22kHz. i accidentally jumped from 8 to 17 but i could hear those all at a regular level 3 on my earphones. after that i decided to turn them all the way up

yeah haha, but i guess i did play generally quiet instruments. i also don't typically listen to my music though earphones or for too long.

Sir Codin June 7th, 2016 7:44 PM

At normal speaker level, I could hear no more than 18 kHz

At max volume, I could hear no more than 19 kHz, although I think I can hear a faint trace from 20 kHz, but higher than that there's nothin'.

Return June 7th, 2016 9:25 PM

I can hear very well between 17 kHz to 18 kHz with 19 Khz very faintly.I can't hear a thing at 20 <_<

KetsuekiR June 8th, 2016 5:14 AM

I thought I'd be able to hear a lot more but I can only hear up to 17kHz but then nothing after that. ;c

Tsutarja June 8th, 2016 6:16 AM

I've always known that I have had sensitive hearing, so it doesn't surprise me one bit that I can hear up to 20kHz.

Mana June 8th, 2016 7:28 AM

You guys turning the volume up will find yours lowered soon enough ;). Even if you can't hear the sound you're damaging your ears by exposing them to it. :(

Mine peaks at 17.5kHz, tested it many times with my classes. I'm surprised (and perhaps a little suspicious) of people claiming to hear 20kHz and over - I work with 12-13 year olds and I've not had anyone who could honestly hear 20kHz.

Get someone to turn the sound on and off and see if you can detect the change then ;3.
