What's your hearing age? | Check Your Hearing

As we grow older it's normal for our ears to start to lose the full range of frequencies they once heard and this often means that we miss out on the higher pitched sounds.

Put your headphones on, set the volume to 50%, and pause the video when you can no longer hear the tone.

Whether you’re regularly attending gigs, out clubbing with friends, or surrounded by loud noises on your commute or at work, your hearing could be at risk. Hearing protection reduces the decibel level of noise and keeps your ears listening safely.

This test audio isn't complete. I can hear up until at least 18kHz, so I noticed that the audio cuts out at around age 26 in this video. I double-checked this with a frequency analyzer app too, so its not just my ears, the audio is missing past 16.5kHz here

I can still hear the damn thing after it stopped. I must be immortal.

I’m 32 and have the hearing of a 106 year old. Dips out at about 3khz. Permanent loud tinnitus as well. Rock and roll

[GoogleSnakeee]

as a 15 year old, i am infact 40 thanks🙏

[Gunrun]

Last week my left ear was 26 years old. One unexplained bout of inflammation later and now its 50 years old.

[robloxgameleaker]

68. I'm still a teen. I'm screwed

[TheGord]

The audio cuts off at 0:40 seconds. I downloaded the video file and you can see the audio is just gone at that point.

[dakotasurratt]

does it just blatantly stop at 16500 for everyone else too?

[pianodudeler]

Use young headphones too - Bose speakers made me instantly younger!

[eurotec_]

Volume cuts off completely at 0:41. I've checked the spectrogram and waveforms of the video .mp3, and it abruptly cuts off completely on all frequencies.

Its funny how this works you hear the sound and it goes away. I am not sure if I am hearing not itanymore. So I took a break then return to where it stopped. I was able to hear the sound at a younger age. There is a psychologic aspect that needs to be accounted for.

I heard to 16.5K and it stopped. Also this all depends on the quality of your system / speakers / headphones.

I am 25 years old and I stopped hearing at 30. is it normal? thanks for answering in advance

[aklladam]

note
Listening from the phone speaker directly to the ear is better than headphones
Not all headphones are correct. I have tried more than one headphone and each one differs in sound intensity, while a phone headset is more accurate
There are also headphones that may be accurate, but not all of them
The type of phone also plays an important role in this. Some phones cannot emit all frequencies
I have tested more than one phone and it turns out that there is a difference in some frequencies

[SlapbackGOD]

thats actually pretty accurate. I have been DJ for about 10 years and also music producer, and I'm surprised since I'm 32 and only stopped hearing the noise at about 34 years. I was expecting way worse

[RegularCowNothingSuspicious]

I'm a 16 year old drummer that's been playing for 11 years and it ends at hearing age 60 🎉😊

[GalgalRezerbi]

I stopped hearing it at 25 and I'm 17 years old... does that mean im losing my hearing?

[Eternal-ReTuning]

Check the frequency response of your audio gear, your equipment might lack the ability to produce some frequencies properly making the test harder than it should.
Most audio systems like iems struggle to produce freq past 16K.

[ExtremePL]

It's strange, at frequency 9000 the sound shifts from the center to the left and right, and at frequency 10600 it shifts to the right ear, and then at frequency 11857 ​​it disappears completely.

[Kiwigamer]

Im 25 and have the hearing of a 46 year old, though i do listen to live bands/ loud music frequently so that may also play into it
