FYI: Your audio setup is most likely not configured for hearing tests, so this test is probably highly inaccurate and I recommend you go to an actual doctor to check your hearing if you're concerned. Your digital to analog converter(s), your amplifier(s), your headphones/speakers, your OS' audio output architecture, the software and programming used, the audio file's format, bitrate, etc. will all affect the output of the sound.
@@mattw5840 it is more scientific than you think to do a true hearing test. look up tympanometry youll see that true tests use air input to test your true hearing
But still very helpful for a rough estimate and for testing earphones, speakers, etc. A good and simple choice of audio as well compared to other test videos on youtube.
I heard everything before 12,000, but 12,000 and after was silent to me. I'm in my 60s and I thought my right ear was damaged from range fire in the Army in the 80s, but I actually hear better in my right ear now.
Also guys don’t freak out if it seems like one of your ears work better than the other it’s very common but if your worried I recommend going to the doctor if it’s severe, Ik going deaf or blind is very scary trust me I understand and I even struggle with the fear but do not worry these things happen and you can function with it yes your going to have to adapt to your new life but it’s apart of growing up. I hope this helped someone ❤️
It should really be explained in the video but the average upper limit for an adult is around 15-17khz... so if you stop hearing them at that point, there's nothing wrong with your hearing. Volume warning for 1:11 though, that COULD damage your hearing.
youtube cant play over 15khz so if you hear something it's in your head. you should try some dedicated audio test websites to test above 15khz. from using those sites i know i can hear 17khz but i hear nothing when it goes to 16khz on this video
@@masterninjahh Untrue, I heard it up to 18k, 19k and over is inaudible for me. Might be a difference in platform since I'm also watching on a PC or something to do with your audio device.
I watched this video twice now. Last night and now, between then I had to get earwax removed (I couldn't hear as much from my right ear) the difference between then and now is clear. This was actually really helpful!
Pro tip turn the earbuds upside down and switch which ears they’re in. If the same side as before still sounds quieter then it’s your ears not your earbuds.
Yeah, something is definitely wrong with my left ear, i got it totally cleaned out a couple days ago after a build up of wax but still noticed sound was more quiet in my left ear and this proved it. I could only hear some sounds with my right
This test is great! I combined it with a tone generator I found on the web, and between the two I have a good understanding of my slow, steady decline since first diagnosed 11 years ago at my ENT DR. My left ear taps out at 10.4kHz, and my right at 8kHz (per the tone generator). This vid shows me that my left is slightly stronger than my right even at 500, 2.5k and 7k. And both ears do not hear anything at 7kHz at -36db. So far I have no issues in everyday life, including conversations at a table in a restaurant with significant background noise. I think when I start to tap out at 5kHz I will have issues and see an audiologist for hearing aids.
@@RajinderYadav It's everything. Don't trust a random online hearing test when you haven't adjusted everything to work properly. The DAC, amplifier, analog output, operating system's audio output architecture, software, format, bitrate, etc. all affect the output of the sound. It's not adjusted for hearing tests until you make it so. I bet the audio is compressed around 16 kHz. (I'm alao listening on Sennheiser 6XX's, lmao.)
This was the balance test I was looking for...thanks. It confirms what I thought. My left ear is rolling off quicker than the right. This must be why I have needed to increased my left speaker by 1.5 dbs. And even then the central image is still slightly to the right. Mind you I am 74 years old! I would not be at all surprised if it is to do with using a mobile phone on the left ear, all that radiation can't be good!
Rodney, just curious, I'm wondering what's the highest frequency you can hear. I'm in my mid 40s and can't hear beyond the 14-15k range. I miss hearing those super high frequencies!
at 16k my right ear was silent, I think I blew it out back in Jan this year, it started to itch really badly one night when listening to loud af bass boosted dubstep and then in the morning my hearing was panned mostly to the left
To be honest, also the quality of your headphones should play a role here, so I wouldnt worry too much about the result. THAT BEING SAID, starting at 2:07 I couldn't hear anything at all anymore until end of video. Before everything fine left and right.
Try putting them in different ears and seeing if it’s different. If the audio is messed up on the earbuds, it will switch ears. If your ear is messed up, it will stay on the same ear. If that happens, go see your doctor.
My right ear is so messed up. I can hear everything perfectly fine in my left ear, but im nearly half deaf in my right😅 (Edit) I just got surgery in my right ear and I'll be able to fully hear in it in a couple months!! (Edit 2) So it's been a few months since surgery, and the hearing got better-ish, but for some reason out of no where it will just hurt. The feeling kinda feels like a cut on my ear drum. The thing is, I've been feeling this weird pain since 6th grade, and I'm in 10th now. I figured the surgery would help with the pain but it didn't, and my hearing is just getting worse and worse over time. For those wondering what was wrong with my ear, I had gotten tubes in 7th grade, about 6 months after I had started feeling that cutting pain and hearing less. The tubes helped with my hearing for a little while, but didn't help with the pain whatsoever, and even made it worse. The thing is, tubes are supposed to fall out on there own, and my left one did after around 10 or 12 months. And after that, my left ear stopped hurting. But around mid-freshmen year, my right tube still hadn't fallen out, and the pain increased while my hearing decreased. So that's when we went to a doctor and he said that my ear drum had grown over my tube. So my tube was literally inside my ear drum, and the surgery was to cut it open and get it out. 4 months later, the pain is still there, and will probably be there forever. And my hearing is decent, but I still can't fully hear out of it, and it's getting worse over time.
Don't attend concerts without hearing protection and don't let your friends do so. I forgot my hearing protection and I didn't want to miss the concert, so I went anyway. Despite the show being great, I'd rather not have attended it. I have pressure in my left ear and my hearing is damaged. I concluded this not only from the test provided here. Cleaning my ears with a cotton bud, it was obvious I can't hear high frequencies on the left. Reading about acoustic trauma online suggests I might not recover entirely and that my hearing might get worse as I age, due to higher sensitivity of the ear(s).
Ever since I rinsed the wax out of my right ear it’s opened up but has felt slightly muffled compared to my left ear. But even then I can hear up to 16000 (though it is very slight and my hearing is better at the level below this)
There’s sort of a pulsing effect to this, is there not? Eight “whirs” on every sound? Both my ears could hear up to 12,000, but if I’m not mistaken, my right ear couldn’t quite detect the pulsing past 7,000. I wonder why that is. Maybe it’s to do with earwax, or the differences in the shapes of my ears? Maybe my headphones? I feel like there might be a little more earwax in my right ear right now, so I’m leaning towards it being mainly that.
what defines being able to hear the frequency and not being able to hear the frequency, is it as long as you can hear something or if it just sounds like a ringing
I tried with two different headphones (well actually 1 pair of headphones and one of earbuds) and in both cases I heard the right side less. But then I tried putting the headphones backwards and there were moments when I could hear the right side but not the left side, so it me something with the cable. But I still think I should get my right ear checked, just in case. Thank you for this, it helped me a lot
Right I always suspected my right ear to be more deaf, as the previous hearing tests told me but this confirmed I can’t hear 16,000 in my right but I can in my left
Its weird, maybe someone will read this and help me: When Ive got Headphones I always hear music more to the left and not only music. I have the feeling that I hear the music a bit less on the right ear. Also my right ear is super sensitive to low basses, when I hear a lot of certain bass frequencies the right ear hurts after a short time. So I made this test: I could hear a bit above 16k but then my left ear stopped but on the right I stil could hear a bit of the 19k, which makes no sense as I have the feeling my right ear is worse than my left...
The problem is youtube decreases the volume of all videos making these tests pointless and music less enjoyable to listen to... Right click on the video and go to stats for nerds and you will notice that the audio has been normalized which means you are not getting correct results... Idk why we are not allowed to decide for ourselves if a video is too loud or not
Thank you Definitely have a problem with my right ear. Both of my ears are always really wet..every day all day. I believe having chronic sinus infections has done something to my ears, nose and throat. My left could hear all thru 12,000 My right couldn’t So then I flipped my headset and yes same result my right ear cannot hear the full spectrum of 12,000. I will be making an appointment with an ENT tomorrow. I will come back to this with my results
Probably have small tinnitus on right ear than bcuz I have something similar. I can clearly hear more on my right than on my left. They’re both about the same and I hardly notice the tinnitus. The only time I hear it is when it’s dead quite. And it’s only on my left ear not my right.
Almost 50 - can't hear the 19,000 Hz test via headphones but can still hear them when I connect my phone to my hi-fi set up with a JM Lab Utopia loudspeakers with 1990s era beryllium tweeters. 🤔
Seeing a specialist tomorrow. My hearing stopped at 1:28 I'm 41 and had some hearing difficulties most of my life but now my right hear has gone to such a low level.
@@MazterK3vino been wearing hearing aids in both ears since that date. Gone pretty smooth, took a bit of getting used to but they've helped so much since having them.
@@GoodwinsPlace glad you’re better sir. Any idea what the main culprit is of your hearing loss? That’s super sad to hear, man I hope technology improves in the medical field to permanently help the hard of hearing 💔
I think volume 5 , because Doctors recommend the 60%/60-minute rule: Listen to music or play a movie or video game at no more than 60% of the maximum volume. Limit the amount of time you spend with earbuds in your ears to 60 minutes.
Im 40 this year and I cannot hear 12khz -36db on my left ear and when it reaches 16khz, I cant hear squat both sides. When I take the same test with a frequency generator on my earbuds, my left ear stops hearing a thing (total silence) at 13300 (13200 is VERY FAINT) and right ear at 15400 (15300 is VERY FAINT). Im glad that at this age, my left ear is just 2000hz behind my right. This is normal, dont worry if you experienced the same. Now I dont need to give a shit about about a speaker's frequency response that peaks above 15khz. 😂😂😂😂😂
guys this is not an accurate version, some frequencies are louder/quieter than described & your ears are probably fine! i thought my left ear was clogged but then i asked some of my friends & they said that left frequencies are quieter so it's the video, not the earphones nor your ears
It’s not the video, but encoding and speakers/headphones can make a big difference. You can only ever get an indication from videos like ours. If you have any questions about hearing you should always seek professional advice.
@@YouOughtaKnowTV it might be, my friends tested it on beats & edison speakers, i myself on the airpods pro but the left always seems (lightly noticeable) quieter.. must be youtubes work?
Why high frequency 2500hz -10db making my left eardrum move back n forth kinda making it crackle to soundwave? I got this problem that is still undiagnosed. Everytime "clap" (or any high frequency sounds in songs) hits in songs my left eardrum give clicking (like its moving back n forth) sound to it. Any doctors here? Its like claps poking it with something.
it's been two days since i couldn't hear anything in my left ear. doing this test only makes me feel worse. i feel like there's no more hope. feels depressing
Can you hear from your left ear now? I had a weird experience on it since two days ago, and since then it can still hear, but muffled. I went to a doctor and he did a test, I can still hear apparently, despite the weird feeling, and gave me pills for it to pass and just to be safe.
People, you should try to switch ears, I thought I had a problem with my left ear, but after switching ears I can confirm that the difference is either coming from my headphones or from the sound of the video itself.
My Meniere's ear there's a noticeable difference in how loud each one sounds to me in my left vs right ear. Interesting though 2,500 triggered my hyperacusis. It's a bummer, but I knew it was affecting my hearing. I guess this test will be a good way to keep track of it on my own.
My right ear is half deaf... and what's worse is the tones that I can hear in my right ear, they're slightly higher pitched in that ear than they are in my left ear :(
According to this test my right ear stops at 7000hz -36Db, but left one seems perfectly normal. Tested with 2 different headphones. However my right ear has had the worst damage with otitis and such, so I believe those caused the hearing loss to right ear. Tested also with monitor speaker and both ears stopped at 7000 hz -36Db.. also when I blow up the ears, left seems to be working the best way and every time. Need to get lying down so that right ear pops up.
My friend had both ears chopped off in a machine and they were chopped up . He went to the hospital and the doctor told him that he had 2 ears he could transplant. The only problem was 1 was from a dog and the other from a pig. My friend agreed. He went back for a follow up after the operation and the doctor asked how the new ears were doing? He said the dogs ear is absolutely brilliant I can hear things miles away but I'm getting some crackling in the pigs ear.
I played in a rock band high school into college. Got drafted into the Army and when I got out had 10% hearing loss. Spent 30 years as a cop after that having to qualify on firing range twice a year. I could not hear anything past 7,000 HZ is that bad?
Your hearing should be restored once your infection clears, but as someone that's wrestled with one, don't wait to go to the doctor! You'll only make it worse if you do so, cause that can make for loads of complications honestly. Shouldn't mess around with your ear.

But then I tried putting the headphones backwards and there were moments when I could hear the right side but not the left side, so it me something with the cable. But I still think I should get my right ear checked, just in case.
Thank you for this, it helped me a lot
I think it is not just you me to
Okay now I'm deaf 😌it felt like I've gone for bird watching 😄
my right gave up at 12 000 hz -36db while my left could still hear it perfectly
Same here. But up to 12kHz, I couldn't tell the difference between left and right
Bro I'm raising my hands on which side I hear it on because I'm so used to doing it
Right I always suspected my right ear to be more deaf, as the previous hearing tests told me but this confirmed I can’t hear 16,000 in my right but I can in my left
same i hv gone deaf in my right ear in 16k
Its weird, maybe someone will read this and help me: When Ive got Headphones I always hear music more to the left and not only music. I have the feeling that I hear the music a bit less on the right ear. Also my right ear is super sensitive to low basses, when I hear a lot of certain bass frequencies the right ear hurts after a short time.
So I made this test: I could hear a bit above 16k but then my left ear stopped but on the right I stil could hear a bit of the 19k, which makes no sense as I have the feeling my right ear is worse than my left...
The problem is youtube decreases the volume of all videos making these tests pointless and music less enjoyable to listen to... Right click on the video and go to stats for nerds and you will notice that the audio has been normalized which means you are not getting correct results... Idk why we are not allowed to decide for ourselves if a video is too loud or not
16.000hz -36dB than I stop hearing
Same
Same
Sane
Same bt i stop hearing from left side
Same, I have come to the conclusion that i am just being stupid and paranoid
2:23
Can you guys hear left one as right?
(Edit:- Full sound)
Thanks for your time
i dont hear it at all
I put it at full volume and managed to hear 19.000Hz -36dB, just barely...
Yeah, because that one isnt supported by headsets usually.
@@Meemzeh I thought I was tripping😂 I played it through my phone speaker and then I heard it
Thank you
Definitely have a problem with my right ear. Both of my ears are always really wet..every day all day.
I believe having chronic sinus infections has done something to my ears, nose and throat.
My left could hear all thru 12,000
My right couldn’t
So then I flipped my headset and yes same result my right ear cannot hear the full spectrum of 12,000. I will be making an appointment with an ENT tomorrow. I will come back to this with my results
hows the result?
they passed away sadly@@al4965
Legends unable to hear increase the volume of their mobile
At 16 khz my left ear stopped hearing anything at all, while my right ear heard everything subtly until -36 db
From the 500-12000Hz range, the frequency sounded duller on my right ear while it sounded brighter on my left :(
Probably have small tinnitus on right ear than bcuz I have something similar. I can clearly hear more on my right than on my left. They’re both about the same and I hardly notice the tinnitus. The only time I hear it is when it’s dead quite. And it’s only on my left ear not my right.
Wow, this video gave me hearing loss if I didn't have any before.
16,000Hz -10dB is where I stopped hearing in my right ear. Is this normal?
above average. dw
Can't hear anything beyond 16000Hz but I feel a real weird discomfort with the 19000Hz even without hearing anything
This is why overtones are important.
I heard everything but in the 19000 range was super quiet
me too but idk if this is fake or something bc 19000 didn’t rly even sound higher than 16000
my hearing caps out at 17.5 khz so couldn't hear shit at 19 khz
Almost 50 - can't hear the 19,000 Hz test via headphones but can still hear them when I connect my phone to my hi-fi set up with a JM Lab Utopia loudspeakers with 1990s era beryllium tweeters. 🤔
i didnt hear the 16k, but i heard the 19 k what?
Seeing a specialist tomorrow. My hearing stopped at 1:28 I'm 41 and had some hearing difficulties most of my life but now my right hear has gone to such a low level.
howd it go, what was their word?
@@MazterK3vino been wearing hearing aids in both ears since that date. Gone pretty smooth, took a bit of getting used to but they've helped so much since having them.
@@GoodwinsPlace glad you’re better sir. Any idea what the main culprit is of your hearing loss? That’s super sad to hear, man I hope technology improves in the medical field to permanently help the hard of hearing 💔
12,000Hz -10dB I could hear in my left ear but not my right then nothing after that.
How old are you?
Thanks, from this video now I know I have hearing problem on right ear.
What volume are we supposed to set this at though? Maximum or the lowest?
I think volume 5 , because Doctors recommend the 60%/60-minute rule: Listen to music or play a movie or video game at no more than 60% of the maximum volume. Limit the amount of time you spend with earbuds in your ears to 60 minutes.
Im 40 this year and I cannot hear 12khz -36db on my left ear and when it reaches 16khz, I cant hear squat both sides. When I take the same test with a frequency generator on my earbuds, my left ear stops hearing a thing (total silence) at 13300 (13200 is VERY FAINT) and right ear at 15400 (15300 is VERY FAINT). Im glad that at this age, my left ear is just 2000hz behind my right. This is normal, dont worry if you experienced the same. Now I dont need to give a shit about about a speaker's frequency response that peaks above 15khz. 😂😂😂😂😂
trying to figure out if my right ear actually has problems or if its my earphones lol
Now I know my head phone is just quieter in one ear😂
Could hear until 12.000hz 36db after that i could not hear anything
Joel Asp same as me, although I couldn’t hear the 12,000 -36dB in my right ear
Same here, they say we can't hear above 15000 Hz if we are above 40
Same
@@YouOughtaKnowTV i also couldnt hear 12,000 -36dB in my right ear onwards, twins!
Rajeev Nambyar i couldn‘t hear it and i‘m only 17 haha
guys this is not an accurate version, some frequencies are louder/quieter than described & your ears are probably fine! i thought my left ear was clogged but then i asked some of my friends & they said that left frequencies are quieter so it's the video, not the earphones nor your ears
It’s not the video, but encoding and speakers/headphones can make a big difference. You can only ever get an indication from videos like ours. If you have any questions about hearing you should always seek professional advice.
@@YouOughtaKnowTV it might be, my friends tested it on beats & edison speakers, i myself on the airpods pro but the left always seems (lightly noticeable) quieter.. must be youtubes work?
I definitely hear better in my right ear. Idk why though
same here
Same
Why high frequency 2500hz -10db making my left eardrum move back n forth kinda making it crackle to soundwave? I got this problem that is still undiagnosed. Everytime "clap" (or any high frequency sounds in songs) hits in songs my left eardrum give clicking (like its moving back n forth) sound to it. Any doctors here? Its like claps poking it with something.
it's been two days since i couldn't hear anything in my left ear. doing this test only makes me feel worse. i feel like there's no more hope. feels depressing
This test is not scientific and can’t diagnose you with hearing loss. If you are worried we would recommend you seek professional assistance.
Can you hear from your left ear now? I had a weird experience on it since two days ago, and since then it can still hear, but muffled. I went to a doctor and he did a test, I can still hear apparently, despite the weird feeling, and gave me pills for it to pass and just to be safe.
Turns out my headset audio wasn't balanced, now it is and sounds equal.
12,000 Hz ; -36 dB right ear is where i stopped hearing the sound
Same
Yup me too
Same here
Glad it's not just me.
Deaf gang so what do we do im a teen so thata horrible for me
12 000Hz -18dB
Left ear: Pie-ouPie-ouPie-ou
Right ear: *Cricket noises*
my headphones play it in both ears at all times XD
GECKO you have to go to settings and turn off mono audio
@@p1um Can you explain it pls how to do it? I have the same problem as this dude and i tried everything but nothing worked.
@@p1um thanks i didn't know about this😅
People, you should try to switch ears, I thought I had a problem with my left ear, but after switching ears I can confirm that the difference is either coming from my headphones or from the sound of the video itself.
I feel like my right ear is more blurry
Wear glasses
Lmfao u mean muffled?
My Meniere's ear there's a noticeable difference in how loud each one sounds to me in my left vs right ear. Interesting though 2,500 triggered my hyperacusis. It's a bummer, but I knew it was affecting my hearing. I guess this test will be a good way to keep track of it on my own.
Lost it at 19,000Hz -36 dB. Other frequencies and dB:s were no problem. Right ear is slightly better.
same
My right ear is half deaf... and what's worse is the tones that I can hear in my right ear, they're slightly higher pitched in that ear than they are in my left ear :(
Yep, figured my hearing was worse in my right ear. At 1:46 I could hear the sound in my left but absolutely nothing in my right.
Other way around for me lol
At 1:47
According to this test my right ear stops at 7000hz -36Db, but left one seems perfectly normal. Tested with 2 different headphones.
However my right ear has had the worst damage with otitis and such, so I believe those caused the hearing loss to right ear.
Tested also with monitor speaker and both ears stopped at 7000 hz -36Db.. also when I blow up the ears, left seems to be working the best way and every time. Need to get lying down so that right ear pops up.
My friend had both ears chopped off in a machine and they were chopped up .
He went to the hospital and the doctor told him that he had 2 ears he could transplant. The only problem was 1 was from a dog and the other from a pig. My friend agreed. He went back for a follow up after the operation and the doctor asked how the new ears were doing?
He said the dogs ear is absolutely brilliant I can hear things miles away but I'm getting some crackling in the pigs ear.
I played in a rock band high school into college. Got drafted into the Army and when I got out had 10% hearing loss. Spent 30 years as a cop after that having to qualify on firing range twice a year. I could not hear anything past 7,000 HZ is that bad?
I couldnt hear anything after 2:07
Tea I clocked out at 1:50
@@JessicasASMR same..
What to do now🥺
I can
@@droidly_ same I heard everything broski-
That’s normal I looked it up
I have meniere's disease and I hear less in my right ear , so I came here to test my hearing.
0:47 Wtf I had max volume on and then...
Ty for this, I had a sinus infection that made me deaf in the left ear and it finally is clearing up so I was using this to test my ear lol
How long did it last ?
I heard everything!
idk why my right ear hearign is weird maybe I have a ear wax plug cause I can hear all fine but sound is a bit more sensitive and weirder
Aw frick
I have an infection in my ear drum and now I can’t hear as well in my right ear and it’s getting worse
😬
RIP
I hope it’ll get better ;-;
Your hearing should be restored once your infection clears, but as someone that's wrestled with one, don't wait to go to the doctor! You'll only make it worse if you do so, cause that can make for loads of complications honestly. Shouldn't mess around with your ear.
my right ear is not working properly after a flight what should I do ??
You should ask a health professional.
19,000 -18dB
I stopped hearing
Same
Same here, I'm 25 years old so not sure if that's good or not lol
alisamariestevenson I’m 13 i don’t think that’s good for my age
My left ear tapped out at 16k -36 and 19-36
My right ear tapped out at 19-36
i can only listen til 16k
cant hear sound after 12k
Volume up all the way couldn't hear past 12,000
my left ear could hear only up to 12000hz at -18dB but my right ear could hear up to 12000hz at -36dB. Should I be worried ???
Couldn't hear anything after 0:00
16000 -18 on my right head is where I stopped
