Test Your Hearing

[rarocks24]

How high can you hear on the ultrasonic scale. I recommend wearing headphones for the test.

I'm about 17.7 Khz (which is good, guessed my age correctly). Without headphones it was 16.7 Khz.

i got to 15 all the high numbers i can't hear 8-15 are the only ones i can hear

You are an easily repelled teenager
The mosquito device was made for the likes of you. You are probably begging to make the noise stop!

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 18.8kHz

although i can hear the 19.9kHz, there's no choice for it

[Syera]

I heard up to - and I am completely, absolutely serious - 21.1kHz. It told me that I am a dog or maybe a mosquito, because I'm 'certainly not human.'

[sueKay]

I heard up to 17.7kHz

The last time I did this test I was 13, and I heard up to the end of the scale the teacher used...I think it was at about 24 or something...it lessens as you get older

Edit: Forgot to turn up my headphones...heard up to 18.8kHz

[Ronja]

Hmm I can hear 19.9kHz

"Your hearing rules! You're either quite young or you've looked after your ears"

Well that's good to know! lol

Same

lol! i got 16.7, im apparently 20 yrs old

go me

Odd. My hearing is terrible yet i heard up to 21.1kHz.

ETA: ... Does anyone else think that the 22.4kHz isn't real and they just play silence? ... Paranoid? The hell i am!!!

EDITED AGAIN: HA! I knew i wasn't paranoid! Clicking the highest one says:

"You claimed to be able to hear a tone that contained absolutely no sound!"

[Syera]

Isn't it funny how so many of us have 'superhuman' hearing?

[Aurora19]

I got up to 19.9Hz. I think I could have gone up but the AC is on and I can't turn it off
I should stop doing the test, i have a bit of a headache.

[CatGoddess]

I got up to 17.7kHz.

I'd say that's pretty good, considering I'm 29 and holding.

Or maybe you are a mosquito, you certainly can't be human.

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 21.1kHz

And that's after I developed chronic tinitis from listening to music too loud. Apparently I did manage to stave off the damage in time. Or it just hasn't kicked in yet.

I don't understand the results of this "test". I could easily hear the 21.1kHz sound, and yet I'm certainly old enough to be mother to almost everyone in this thread. LOL And I certainly don't have extraordinary hearing.

Is this test just a joke, then?

Not really. You probably just took care of your hearing. The quality this tests is frequency range. These days, most people, because of our often loud environment, lose frequency starting around adolescence and continue to do so for the rest of their lives. You apparently kept your ears from much damage.
