In my 20’s I could hear 18 kHz so well they audiologist asked if I was cheating. Decades later I top out around 10.5 kHz. I’m a musician and am now diligent about hearing protection as I don’t want to risk losing more.
What is your age?
lol i’m 19 and i top out at 10.6 kHz
probably your speakers@@gaberichter3701
I have 2oookhisthatnormlesallyspence
In my teens, I could hear beyond 20kHz. It was annoying since 20kHz noises are constantly played in public spaces (e.g. airports, malls) very loudly, so it was never a pleasant experience visiting these places. At 24, I already can't hear anything higher than 16kHz. This is scary... I didn't even know my hearing loss was this bad already at such a young age.
I capped out at a 2-3-count before 16,000.
It was odd, until it hit 8,000 I had to keep lowering the sound until I was down to level 2, then between 8&10 I had to start raising the volume though not by much. Then everything blanked out at a 3-count before 16,000. So I retried it and raised the volume to the very highest level as it began to fade out, got perhaps an extra .5-1 second count before it blanked out again.
38 years old - female.
I am 61, and I have high frequency loss in both ears. I took your test, and I could only hear up to the 2000 mark. Yes, I do wear Phonak M-R30 hearing aids. I feel they are working. Is there a test when wearing the hearing aids to see how well you hear with them on?
76 years with constant tinnitus - lost the sound at around 8000, or rather it was lost in the tinnitus!
Same here
I am under 18 and I could hear 20 kHz. My science teacher plays 20 kHz to get my class to be quiet and she can’t hear it even though it bothers us so much we immediately stop talking. Some people complain about how annoying the sound is and others just hush up (this teacher is a great teacher and we all love her as a teacher❤).
32 and can hear up to 17.5k which is wild to me but I thank God I didn't blow my eardrums out when I was younger to be able to hear as well as I do now.
I'm 27 and can hear somewhere between 16 and 17 k
Hello, thank you.
I am a lifelong sufferer of Tinnitus and Tones felt in my brain and my ears. I am 63.
Pain hit at 2000 HZ up to 4000HZ then passed. I stopped hearing the tones below 16000.
As I sit here now typing with earphones still on, Pitch is very high and non stop hum is louder. I have been to ENT, says I am alright. I also saw my Nuerologist about it. They keep telling me to see the other🙃.
Thank you again.🦋
Omg same here!!! Except I’m 30, and I’m feeling it more in my head than actual hearing it at some spots🥴 it’s so strange! I hope you get answers!!!

8000
I am Signaler trained in Morse Codes which sharpened my hearing mainly to the mid to high frequencies. Has this compromised my hearing too?
Ever since I experienced a NDE I have had "tinnitus" or something like it. I am 47 in 2 wks, and I can hear up 14k as well. I attribute the loss of the upper frequencies to listening to music WAY too loud my entire life (but that's not likely to change)
Everyone’s ability to hear high frequencies declines as we age.
Sharp roll off at 12,000. 52 years old and I've been a musician since I was in my early teens.
I'm 65 and could hear a scratching/squelching type sound at 14K, but I had turned the volume way up as I got over 10K. Is it still valid if you turn the volume way up?
I just tried this on me and my husband. Now I now why he never mentioned anything about the awful loud squeaky sound that our car brake makes that I’ve been complaining about!
🤣🤣🤣 time for a hearing test!
I'm 54, musician and still my ears can listen clearly around 16,000 Hz
I am the same age and can also here 16khz although not a musician.
I am 64 and got to around 14k (just listening to laptop sound, no headphones) I think that is pretty good? I have been a DJ/Radio presenter so I don't think I have done too badly.
I am 64 yo. The (sharp and well defined) rolloff from a subdued whiny tone to complete white noise occurred at around13KHz, using standard iPhone earbuds plugged into a PC. This is consistent with my test results at several other sites as well. That said, in practice I have difficulty with engaging in comfortable conversations while sitting in noisier restaurants/bars - the sort of places that my children take me to.
67 and probably around 12khz for me
@@Adirondacks4me 👍
I have suffered from tinnitus for the last two years. A constant high pitched ringing. I can hear all the way from 20 to 18000hz. How good must my hearing have been before the tinnitus? Or maybe there is another reason for the ringing in my ears?
I am 70 years old. I listened on different speakers to help verify the drop off was at the same point. I lost it at 8K. It was consistent with cheap BT speaker, quality headphones and through my stereo set up. I wonder if working in loud manufacturing environments through my 20's had an impact. I worked in a stamping plant for many years.
I think headphones would be a more proper test. High frequencies also get absorbed by the atmosphere faster than lower. That’s why bass can travel log distances.
Can not hear anything from the test
Im 55 and could hear to 8000, I have trouble hearing someone when there is back ground noise or in crowds. I have tinnitus, a constant high pitch sound 24/7. Thinking about trying a OTC device, any recommendations?
Hey Deanne, I’d say it’s worth getting your hearing tested! Thanks for the comment, Matthew
sir my both ear loss is 80% can i get blue tooth machine fit
very good test i would add more detailes scale like 4500 or 5500 when I don't hear
Hey Piot, leave it with me and I’ll get something recorded and uploaded 😊 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, Matthew
at one time, while early 20's i could hear 22k. Now at 72, i lost it at abouto 3,000, then back in at 3500 and up to 5000 and it stopped suddenly. I play horn and have a very hard time hearing speakers, conductors, and others in a room or class setting. My research is that this has more to do with brain function than ear function. That is the causes are brain related - stress, worry, pressure, lifestyle, health, physical shape, etc. GEt that in order and the hearing will improve. Apparenly hynotherapy will also work in sotme cases. Interesting stuff . . . .
With my headphones in all the way up i can hear until it stops.. the painful part of the sound is just prior to the threshold. I find that very interesting. When i was in highschool psychology we were doing a testing of the senses and when we were on hearing the teacher had everyone lay their heads down and raise their hand when they heard the frequency played. I was the only one accurately responding to the extremely high pitched frequencies by the end of it. I am 25 now. My vision is quite exceptional as well ..
i'm 52 suffer with tinnitus that's is getting progressively worse over time i topped out at 5.5k i go pick up my hearing aids on this coming Wednesday i'm nervous and excited ... i've been fighting breast cancer now two years i think the tinnitus is a result from the chemotherapy but hey at the moment at lest i'm breathing in and breathing out
Practically deaf in right ear 72 years old. Lost my right eardrum at 5 years old. Ent made an eardrum out of a blood vessel in the bend of the arm. Still a 10% hole. I could hear up to 8000 but that was without ear buds or headphones. I had iPad max volume.
Great video.
58 year old with tinnitus.
Heard it up until 8000 that's it.
Thanks Drew! Matthew
Right there with ya. 8k and it was even. I also noted though when I listed at about 4-5k the tinitus would disappear for about 5-10.seconds
Me too.
Me 3 .. 56 had tinnitus from my 20’s from a firearm being discharged 2 feet from my left ear
18.000 clearly! I'm playing trumpet maybe that helps? I always hear the bads if im outside in the evening...
I hope you hear the goods too! Thanks for watching, Matthew
is the frequency between 900-3000 way more quiet than the rest or is that my ears being shite and means hearing loss?
Very interesting and informative test. I'm 72, and here's what I found:
When I set the volume to about 50%, I experienced some fluctuations in volume, and the sound dropped out completely somewhere between 1000 and 2000 Hz. It then came back and dropped out completely again just before 8000 Hz.
When I set the volume to 75%, I experienced some fluctuations in volume, but was still able to hear everything until just about 8000 Hz.
When I set the volume to 100%, I again experienced some fluctuations in volume, but was still able to hear everything until just over 8000 Hz.
I had a hearing test a couple of months ago, but this little experiment gave me a whole lot more insight than the results of that test. Thank you for doing this, Matthew.
I also found fluctuations in volume at several different frequencies - like the volume was turned down and back up again.
I also heard an audio fluctuation listening to the tone on my laptop speakers and then through my Wonderboom Bluetooth speaker. I then listened with my headphones and the fluctuations disappeared. I think but do not know for sure that the fluctuations were caused by the echo off of nearby walls and windows. I had complete loss at 8k.
Most audio products respond to frequencies differently too. Some headphones have peaks and dips (for example, one headphone might play a 10000khz sound a lot louder than another)
About 12.3 kHz. Very abrupt cutoff - gone at 13K. I'm male, 67 years old. Last time I tested was maybe 5 or 10 years ago and it was about 13K. So haven't lost much. Feeling happy today ;-) Note: If I stay at low volume, of course, I crap out lower - around 10 kHz. But I figure it should be fair to turn up the volume 20 dB or so - so I did. FWIW, I don't go to concerts or football games, etc without some hearing protection. However, I'm not fanatitical about it. Don't use any while mowing grass and I do use earbuds at maybe around 100 dB sometimes since I have always liked loud I(but not excessive) volume when listening to some music - to be able to hear the full sound stage. But after one concert in my youth where my ears rang for a half hour, I figured those levels were not good for me - so I never did that again ! ;-) Nice RUclips video. Thanks for providing this !
17800 around that, i`m 30yo. Idk if its good or not. I use headphones daily and i used to go to parties/nightclubs pretty much every weekend from 16 to 25yo going home with blocked ears every time, i tought that will damage my ears.
It was difficult to tell. Because you only put frequencies up at certain levels and they were VERY infrequent. Can you please do another one where every say 500hz is on screen rather than every 4,000? It would be a much more accurate test. As I am really interested as I suffer with Tinnitus and Diplacusis and ha ve done for years. Also I am 75% deaf in my left ear. Thank you.
Hello, on lower-left side of a screen there is numbers. “Accurate tone” leading to frequency numbers. They are very precise
I'm 35 and could hear up to 14.5k approx when i turn the sound to the max. Hearing test said i have mid lvl high frequency hearing loss. Is 14.5k very bad or?
its dogshit bro but I could only hear up to 13k and im 28 so it is what it is
@@sugo8920 do you have tinnitus?
I am a 19 years old musician, I always enjoyed high-end in music and I mix it myself, spending more time mixing high frequencies than low frequencies. When I was 16, I tested my ears and could hear up to 22.5khz. I did it again yesterday and I could barely hear 21 ish khz. I'm very worried.. my favorite frequencies in music are the ones above 18khz because I listen to glitchy music with precise high-end and I already cannot stand to listen to it when compressed at 320kbps because it isn't as precise in terms of sound quality.. I'm scared, really.. 😢
science will fix it for you in 5 to 10 years. Im the same as you and really pissed off I can only hear to 14.4 Khz now (age 53), since I am a music producer
@@stevea8099 It's honnestly, to me, not really something science could fix. Not necessarily more than a simple equalizer though, that's what I mean. If you hear frequencies less with age-related earing loss, which is the case here, it means the """string cells""" (I'm not a native English speaker, my apologies 😂) in your ears that are supposed to hear them are less present and/or damaged (not really, but in the big lines that's pretty much it) and if you turn up the volume, you technically can hear them again, I can increase the volume of my audio interface and generate a continuous sound at 25khz and hear it. The only difference is that it will sound like a pressure and not a sound. The higher the frequency, the more it will sound like "ear pressure" instead of sound. I'm sure you already boosted 17+khz to make a voice sound "fuller", to make it enter the ear, making it more centered. I can hear bats and rats, I live in the countryside and it's really ear tickling, but they're loud to me because they were close to my window. Thing is, that's why I heard them. The higher the frequency, the less volume you need to have in order to hear it, but after 15khz it stabilizes itself more and then it goes down again in volume so then you'll need more volume to hear above it. I might make no sense, but basically, you can hear them, but they will tickle your ear in a different way than they did before, when they were sounds, and you'll notice them as "pressure" and not as a note anymore, at least when talking about generated frequencies. Getting there to my second point, variations are still gonna be heard. A general ringing frequency might not appear as a sound anymore and your brain will not calculate it anymore and you might get the feeling of tickly pressure inside the ear instead of a note but when listening to hi-fi music it'll still be usually better to have all the upper frequencies. Sounds, when they're not staticly ringing or auto generated, are usually perceptible no matter where your ears roll off during a hearing test. Therefore, listening to my favorite album "hypochondriac" by Brakence (I recommend, especially the 3 lasts songs) is always a pleasure because I can identify the glitchy high end (he uses glitched sped up drums/hats/ticks/whatever in stereo and it tickles the ear when listening to his music which feels amazing).
To know if you're not capable at all of hearing some frequencies, put a random song in your daw and boost everything above 16khz by some crazy number. Even without aliasing you'll hear the difference and therefore it doesn't really means that it's not fixable. I just am scared of having to boost the volume of the high end to mix the frequencies I like, because it would feel kind of.. bad. And I dislike hearing 18khz that I now identify as a "pressure on the ears" although before it was a sound that I could tell the pitch of. Btw, don't generate a 25khz sound before putting the volume of your speakers to max just in order to hear them, I had pain for hours and it felt like someone stabbed my ears with a sewing needle 😭
I can hear to about 16k at 25. I have a drop off at 1k-2.6k so im thinking i may have cookie bite loss. I have trouble with voices pretty often and some tinitus but its nothing overwhelming. Other than that not bad. Getting my hearing checked because from what i understand that kind of loss is rare and genetic.
I tried this with just my new Starkey Genesis AI ITE devices. I stopped hearing the tone around 7500 Hz. I will try again with headphones.
At 75% on Edifier S3000pro speakers i lost it between 14,000 and 15,000. Im 46. Thanks for the great test as it will help me buy my next speakers😂
Age 42, at 4:05 minute it went silent. What does that mean?
I'm 54 and could hear up to around 8.000 Hz. My hearing is better in my left ear than in my right and I have tinnitus on the right too. I'm seeing an audiologist next month.
The drop off for me was at 16,4khz but i wonder if my phone speaker is crappy because i can hear ultrasonic pest repellent which is significantly higher.
I’m 58, and I could hear up around the 13k-14k mark. Interestingly enough, I tried turning up the volume way up once I could no longer hear, and I felt a strange sensation in my head, sort of some kind of pressure. So it’s not that my ears can no longer sense the higher frequencies, something else is going on…. 🤔
Im 31 and anything 14k hz i cant hear a thing i have been for a hearing test today and the audiologist said my hearing even though most of it is in the normal range is sitting much lower for someone my age and i have mild hearing loss in my left ear
We are the same, im 35 and lost it at 14.5k or so.. Doctor said i have a high frequency hearing loss. Are you thinking about hearing aids?
Good experiment Matthew. I could hear around 16000🥳🥳
Hey Carla, thanks for taking part! Matthew
I could hear to about 16000hz on a lowish volume on my laptop without headphones. Couple of drops in the 1000hz to 3000hz range. Not too bad for 31 i think? Still not managed to match my tinnitus tone though.
That’s exactly what I got and I’m 31 next month..
Got to 15,000 nothing after that. I do have very good hearing in general. I can usually pick up very high tones or low hums even out in the street. We have a street light about 50mtrs from my house, which sometimes emits very high frequencies which plays havoc with my ears. No one else in my house can hear it and they all think I’m going crazy. 😂
People think I'm crazy when I tell them to change the old television because of the high pitched ringing it makes.. had to record with a studio mic connected to an audio interface going into my laptop and then analyzing it with a vst audio analyzer just to show them there's a peaking noise at 18khz.. 😭
It is around 14k-15k.I am 32 years old..Is it right or wrong for me???Have I problem???Do I need check up??
Your hearing is fine 😊 Matthew
Thank you so much....😊😊😊I had tension...Now I am feeling good 😊😊. thanks a lot..
I am 63 yrs. Could hear upto 9500 hz sound clearly.Is it ok?.
41 year old Musician surprisingly I was good up to the 16,000s, but my tinnitus note is right about 3-3500k :(
17.5k-18k is as high as I can go; can hear around 25-30 Hz too.
Highest I could hear was almost 11k, at full PC speaker volume. I also found some volume fluctuations at various frequencies, which I found odd! I'm 51, profoundly deaf (right ear SSHL) and HA for moderate loss in my left ear. I'm wearing a Widex Moment Sheer. What I found most interesting was that I could clearly hear (at mid volume) lows at 45-60Hz. That surprises me, because HA's don't usually do low frequencies (under 150Hz) very well at all!
i am 50 soon to be 1 in March and it dropped off for me about 8500-9000. i was not listening with headphones but was in a quiet room. ill try again later with head phones and see if i can do better as im sure my numbers are not good
50 years old and started to lose it at 10k but completely gone at 12k. I was surprised at how high 2kHz sounded! I would have thought it was low voice territory
I wanna say my phone cuts out at 16,000 hz because i can hear and then it cuts out, but it does not cut out smoothly. I can still hear the 16000 hz pretty easily and it cuts out. Maybe i can’t hear past 16,000 but i think it may be my earbuds haha.
What does it mean if you can hear only up to a certain tone?
Hey Emsyq, what tone is that? Thanks for watching, Matthew
I'm 43 and 15k was when it got just out of range, suffer from excess wax build up
16,000Hz, 34M though I did throw a firecracker down a pipe in the ground as a kid and became deaf for a few seconds. Not sure how much that could have affected my hearing
Sorry to hear that, it may be worth a test! Thanks for sharing, 😀 Matthew
0:59 👉🏼1. This one is perfect for me 125hz it said
250hz😳
500hz🤨
2000hz 🎉😊
4000hz 😮
8000hz 😊
16000hz-20000hz i cant hear it i dont know why
Is that normal?
what sounds?
I am 37 and could hear up to 16 kHz is that good?
YES!
Same for me! 37 and 16kHz!
It was as if I could hear the frequencies going higher from 1 to 15999, but once it reaches 16000 to 20000, it sounded as if the frequencies was dropping or going down.
I unfortunately have a small 2 mm acoustic neuroma, also known as a vestibular schwannoma. Hearing tops out at 5000 and disappears into my tinnitus.
I thought my hearing was badly damaged because I could only hear up to 4,000hz but it was just the bad speakers I was listening with lol
About 3300. 39 years old and have had hearing issues in my left ear for the last 10 years
I did 20 thousand!! Is this enough?
I am 21 years old and i hear up 16k with out head phone
I got to about 16000 before it stopped, but then it started back up shortly before 20000?
14 and got to 13.5k (i can hear a lot more noises than people around me and i do get overstimulated from them so i listen to music a lot)
Hey Basil, that’s an interesting way to keep distracted. Thanks for sharing with the world. Matthew
Same here 13,5K and I'm 66 years so not bad I guess🙂
I started to hear the sound at 163 and could hear it until 11500 around 12700 sound disappeared completely.
I'm female 43 years young
10,500 in left ear. Right ear dropped out around 9,000. I am 67 years old and have significant tinnitus in both ears, but the right ear is worse than the left.
Thanks Nancy for sharing! Matthew
8,000 (with and without my hearing aids). 71yrs.
I can't hear anything past 8khz everything just cuts off I'm 60 yrs old
37 male and lost it at 14-15k .. tinnitus in left ear :-(
I started to listen to sounds paning from 2k to 14k from left to right back and forward
14 kHz I am 62 years of age... My right ear is OK left is less
Thanks, 😀 Matthew
What is true about the frequency in a hearing test?
1) Frequency affects the "pitch"
2) Frequency affects the "loudness"
3) Frequency is measured in decibel units
4) Frequency can also be a negative number
Am 64. Got tinnitus about 5 years ago. Apparently my hearing loss is inherited. Have now lost 50% according to the ENT who I visited last week. The highest sound I can hear is 8173.66. After that I hear zero!
8K - 8.5K, I'm 72 years old. I probably should get hearing aids! lol
12500 and I’m 43 years old. I do have Menieres Disease though, so am not holding out much hope for the future 😢
As a 18 Year old
I can hear about 17.5GHz
Im 77 and I could here at what I estimate to be 12,000 14,000. Certainly closer to 16000 that 8,000.
Thanks, 😀 Matthew
I couldn't hear at 16k and onwards - I have left ear severe high frequency loss at 36 yrs of age. I guess my right ear is overcompensating 😅
16k is great Ash! Matthew
@HearingTracker thank you for the feedback, really happy to hear this!
I am an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person). I just moved due to the noise hear. No mufflers, children screaming, and upstairs neighbors sounding like they are marching in combat boots. "Bump, bump, bump, bump" Always four steps. Over and over again, all hours. I got to 8,000 on the test, which I find weird. I literally moved to a house in 115 acres, where there is absolutely no woune. I have ADHD, and these distractions made it impossible for me to accomplish anything. I would play ocean wavers on my speakers at full volume for "white noise" and then have my TV up to 100 volume just to cover "rush hour" . Just started researching it. I also find that I have always have been able to remember all the lyrics in songs from the 1940's through at least 2000. Thanks for the video!
Got to around 12.5khz and I’m 31 years old. I suffer with tinnitus in just my right ear though.
51 and it dropped off a little after 14k. I do my best to protect my hearing.
75 yrs- Could hear (guessing ) 7,000Hz, based on another of your tests.
I’m 27 and have been around loud music a lot and I could hear just past 16000Hz.
RUclips videos cut off audio above (including) 16kHz just so you know.
Hey Neko, thanks for the heads up. Do you have a reference for that as I can't seem to find one, Matthew
Wait why?
46 years old, lost the tone between 13K and 13.5K
Same...but I'm 49 years old. I hear a tone or ringing in my ears all the time....that sounded like 5000 hz
That was painful haha but I could hear almost until the very end. Not sure I want to though!
I lost it at about 3000hz. I'm 72 and have had hearing tests, so I know I have some hearing loss. I also have tinnitus.
Hey Vince, have you tried it with your hearing aids in too? Matthew
for me max beween 4-8khz
16000 khz n im nearley 30
I'm 63 and my ears gave it up at 9 kHz. So I guess my future aspirations as a professional audio mixer are out of the question .
I'm 50 I can hear up to 16,000hrtz plus I have ringing in my hears of tinnitus also
from 125 Untill after 8000, so timestamp 4.07 I stopped and it was so annoying
That was weird.. at 16000hz to 20000hz It sounded like the frequencies was actually going in reverse?
at 16000Hz why does it sound like it goes down in frequency then continues going up until 20000Hz? Did anyone else hear that?
12.5
TY 😊 Matthew
16,000hz, after that I couldn't hear it clearer,am 23 hope it's okay
14000 hz 30 years old but i honestly habe not exleriemcdd loud things like were earphones as well
56 years old-I lose it at 13.5K or so....Shot a pistol accidentally near my face (no hearing protection of course) when I was early 20's and worked around various machinery, so not too bad considering.
