Hearing Test for High Frequencies - Whats the HIGHEST Tone Pitch YOU Can Hear?

[@kirkp_nextguitar]

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.

[@rossroderickwhitney]

What is your age?

[@gaberichter3701]

lol i’m 19 and i top out at 10.6 kHz

[@capturedphoton]

[@maxkho00]

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.

[@jkplester8917]

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.

[@Jatzki]

That's because of how humans hear certain frequencies, like the ones babies make, better and louder.

[@lulairenoroub3869]

Bout the same

[@r.katiekane252]

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)

[@wormhole331]

Everyone’s ability to hear high frequencies declines as we age.

[@signas9896]

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.

Ok, to all of you saying you could hear anything after 16k… you’re not . How do I know that… KZbin compression doesn’t play anything above 16k. So maybe you can actually hear it clearly above 16… just not going to happen on KZbin

[@dramitppt]

[@SAK59]

Similar for me. I have Tinnitus in my left ear and the tinnitus and tone matched up in the 8,000s. I then noticed that the sound, which had been louder in the left ear seemed to move into my right ear and I could hear, but very quietly, in the right ear to about 9,500. I am 65 years old.

[@M-theballerina]

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❤).

[@p0358]

She's not great if she's torturing you like this. You can get tinnitus and other permanent problems from this.

[@friendsgaming0776]

​@@p0358for short bursts it shouldn't do any damage. It's much similar to a dog whistle. In fact dog whistles use similar frequency to what this video used at the higher spectrum, between 10000 and 20000.

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.

[@BA-ue8lh]

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…. 🤔

Same with me, it’s a hard to describe sensation, like hearing nails on a chalkboard but without the sound. It makes it feel like a weird pressure sensation

I have my volume as low as possible and felt incredible discomfort right as the sound started. I'm 59, female, and the frequency immediately makes me feel like I am going to throw up. It also makes me start sweating and feel confused. I do suffer from migraines and have to avoid certain visual triggers, but as my eyesight has started to get worse, it seems like I am much more sensitive to sound. I had my finger on the volume control and had to stop right away.

[@Mu7eD-Stream]

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?

[@worldtvinternational]

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.

[@butchpedit4871]

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.

[@wormhole331]

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.

[@peterspitz2385]

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.

[@steebie_c]

I also found fluctuations in volume at several different frequencies - like the volume was turned down and back up again.

[@butchpedit4871]

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.

[@Benzo97]

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)

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.

[@breakburrito]

Sad. 45 and have protected my ears my whole life but tinnitus started in both ears suddenly a few years ago. Other neurological symptoms started then too, so I don't think it is related to overexposure. Now the dropoff starts at 8k and pitch above that is buried in the constant ringing of the tinnitus. As a musician and recording and mixing enthusiast it's not ideal.

[@beelbofoofleburnit3337]

73 and I could definitely hear 10 khz but it faded out somewhere between 11 or 12 kHz. So much for worrying about the high end on speakers.

[@qwiklok]

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 . . . .

[@EveryThingJigglypuff]

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.

[@yogibear2k220]

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.

I’m 49 and I was able to hear up to about 15,000. The rest after that, I wasn’t sure if I was hearing it, or if it was my tinnitus messing with it.

I was diagnosed with tinnitus in January 2020 after having Flu Type A and Covid, so hopefully this range is still pretty good considering.

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 ..

Hit space to stop as soon as it got silent, 16k and some, pretty good I think, but I've noted that each side of mine hear some frequencies better, as my right hearing can't hear a pitch around the 600hz there, but the left one can clearly.

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

it seemed like 14k hrtz, it dived or extremely fast, but there is amplifcation and othe rmeans to sound itself to being able to hear it... and you also need speakers that can occiliate the magnet correctly.. I tried again and put it on loop... and waited, since I can listen to my tv at the lowest volume lat at night when I attune my ears I guess... So...easily died off... cranked the voluem up and the die off was 15k, then it died off and was really concentrating... then I clicked over and around 15k and 20k stop to see if i could hear anything nothing, but kept clikcing around.. and when I click on teh 17.5k I could hear the tone after repeatedly clicking and it would fade... then suddenly it didn't fade and I thought it was magic.. I would state my normal hearing range for the life i live is around 14k hertz.. and I have an undetermined range... that is attainable.. I mean the physics of the sensory system is locked to the sensory collection system if its not damaged, then whatever its high limit is set, howeve,r something that scares people is what is the loudest sound your brian can auditorially produce inside ones head, so this would be your brain, with direct input by passing the sensor load of the ear and directly the sound reconstructor... no one could answer what the loudest sound can be produced in the mind of a person that goes for all senses... which knowing about oci[pital manipuation for hte viewing field begs teh question.. of brain hacking for input delivery systems... the loudest sound is probably not produced in the universe but in the mind of the person. That was my experience with this... definately 14k was easy, and it died off... 15k with every and volume maxed easily... and 17.5k when clikcing around and after a time of being super quiet and waiting and concentrating..... could i go higher I don't know... tests are not hte best tests as its typicalyl all test are a interelation to the context at hand.. and not hte to9tality of hte system. WIthout any ear damage, we the nahve genetic physical properties we can gauge, like the little fibres that shake and reverberate.. and send sensory information to hte brain.. hmm

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.. 😢

[@stevea8099]

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

[@Zines]

@@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 😭

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 KZbin video. Thanks for providing this !

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.

[@Donii5]

My headphones refused to play above like 18j as they then did that signature shake? they do that when they stop playing audio

[@amon0285]

I'm 31 and with cheap bass boosted earphones I can easily (most of the time painfully) hear everything up to 16,000, but I do have very abnormal progressive low frequency hearing loss while my high frequencies go so high my previous audiologist ran out of high beeps 😂 Couldn't hear the starting range at all! Hope I get my hearing aids soon.

[@wayne9807]

77 years old and it drops off a little over 8k. Back in the late 60s our speakers/headphones might have been the limit but I could hear the upper teens without trouble. Never liked extreme volume though.

[@iloveyellow7214]

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?

[@AllThingsMelissaBarr]

I am 37 and could hear up to 16 kHz is that good?

[@HearingTracker]

YES!

[@Towedwart]

Same for me! 37 and 16kHz!

[@Whocares17032]

No

[@nancycranford]

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.

[@HearingTracker]

Thanks Nancy for sharing! Matthew

[@carlacorral5992]

Good experiment Matthew. I could hear around 16000🥳🥳

[@HearingTracker]

Hey Carla, thanks for taking part! Matthew

[@voodooaa]

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?

[@sugo8920]

its dogshit bro but I could only hear up to 13k and im 28 so it is what it is

[@voodooaa]

@@sugo8920 do you have tinnitus?

[@neagucipriann]

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.

[@jimmywait74]

10.5 I'm 50 with moderate hearing loss. Doesn't matter if I have my hearing aids in or not, it's the same.

[@emsyq77]

What does it mean if you can hear only up to a certain tone?

[@HearingTracker]

Hey Emsyq, what tone is that? Thanks for watching, Matthew

[@sadcub1]

I have a question about this experiment. I know that you suggested to adjust our headphones so that things aren't too loud throughout the experiment, but are we supposed to keep our headphone volume at the same level the whole way through to do the experiment? I kept mine at about half volume throughout and stopped hearing things at around 14k maybe but then I did it again and found that if I increase the volume at about 14k, I could hear all the way to 20k. so I am not sure what that means for my hearing.... did I cheat?

[@2Raisemoney]

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

[@JustAboutToEat]

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.

[@bobsmo]

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.

[@ClifftopTragedy]

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

[@linneastenros4754]

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

[@lifestylechoices4u789]

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. 😂

[@Zines]

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.. 😭

[@Antilli]

17.4kHz-ish. I'm 37. I'm using studio monitors (JBL 305) instead of headphones.

[@Kudravets-Diana]

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

[@musicalshirsak598]

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??

[@HearingTracker]

Your hearing is fine 😊 Matthew

[@musicalshirsak598]

Thank you so much....😊😊😊I had tension...Now I am feeling good 😊😊. thanks a lot..

[@maureenloonam6468]

it gets very slight at about 13 i can still hear something at 14 but its very hard. Is it not very slight? its only slight for me? Im not sure, because I asked someone else if they could heard anything audible past 13 and they said no, then i asked a teenager, and he said no. Are you all sure you're hearing something past 14, and not imagining that you are hearing something?

[@dollyjohnston565]

I'm 53 almost 54 and I heard it almost all the way to the end, but I don't hear the very beginning

[@C-MAGs]

Lost it around 12.5K I'm 53. However weird things happened on the way up. Around 8K, I seem to lose it in my right ear for a couple of seconds before it came back. I've no idea what's going on there.

[@dtm2618]

16 KHz and I'm 40. Worked construction for many years so I'm surprised I scored so well

[@JacobBco]

same and am 20 😅

[@OhMellow]

Got to around 12.5khz and I’m 31 years old. I suffer with tinnitus in just my right ear though.

[@bunjidogg]

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?

[@dramitppt]

yes

[@cynthiaturcotte9280]

I'm 52 and was able to hear up to somewhere between 13,000 - 14,000 Hz

[@polinastoyanova2641]

Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ Here is 37 years old flight attendant. I topped out around 13000 kHz , guess that’s okay according to the job. Thanks for the video 😊

[@chrislow123]

12500 and I’m 43 years old. I do have Menieres Disease though, so am not holding out much hope for the future 😢

[@elizabethklein5193]

I'm 15 and I heard up to a lottle over 19k, there were a few fluxations 5k was kinda quiet and 2k was very loud.

[@victoriakeeneofficial]

All of them, with one earphone side working, the last one like ridiculous sound, I heard everything!!!! Dude you tryna kill me lol, I can still hear them after stopping the video LOL

[@veronikalaskova4716]

is the frequency between 900-3000 way more quiet than the rest or is that my ears being shite and means hearing loss?

[@djicebreaker80]

The 8 hz 1-1600 hz i could hear, I’m 45 that pretty good 👍 after ear wax removal, this will help improve my trance creativity better

[@ALENMalik-p7f]

i am 16 year old i can hear 4000hz frequency sound. what is the solution for this? ]pls help me

[@Southerly93]

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

[@Darian-mk1bw]

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.
