At 51 and Despite my tinnitus, I passed this test with flying colors with all test tones on board and heard! The last 15Khz tone was obviously lower in volume to my ears and I heard it better on the right than the left, but I still heard it in both.
Funny thing is that the first 8khz tone was the EXACT sound frequency of my tinnitus ringing and my ears REALLY did not like it at all! :x
So common all you HTG audiophiles......take the test and let us know how you did so we can have a better idea of how credible you are when describing sound and audio quality !!! Hehehe!! :lol:
ps.....be advised that I did the test using good quality headphones.Dan Madden :T -
I can hear all of them, and Dan 8khz hurt me even. It was just really loud for some reason.Comment

It's probably because it's a frequency that we humans all hear the best and loudest. I'm somewhat skeptical of this test because I Easily heard all the test tones despite the fact that the test said that at 15khz, a 50+ aged person would likely not hear it. My personal guess is that most members here will pass the test complete.Dan Madden :TComment

On this test, I capped out at 16khz with my headphones and volume to maximum.

This one was interesting because it plays a continuous noise all the way to 20khz so you can hear fluctuations in how you are able to hear certain frequencies as it goes up. Sometimes I lost the signal in my ears on the way up and then it came back meaning I'm more sensitive to certain frequencies than others on the way up. However in this one, I started to poop out hearing wise at around 13-14khz and my left ear heard the tone for longer.
ADVISERY- With good headphones and volume set to max, pull the headphones slightly off your ear until around 10Khz or so because it can be quite annoying! Besides, everyone can hopefully hear at least up to 8khz or so right?Dan Madden :TComment

On this one for the high pitched frequencies, I Started hearing sound at around 15458 khz (It starts at 20khz and goes down)
Both my ears and my headphones had no trouble hearing the lowest 20hz sound wave.Dan Madden :TComment

I can barely hear 18khz on that one.Comment

This one is actually quite good. In this one as in the others, I started to hear something between 16-15khz and had no trouble hearing sound even below 20hz with my headset.
I would think that at 51 years old, being able to hear around 16khz is not so bad??!!Dan Madden :TComment

No takers here??!!! What's up with that? Don't ya all want to know your hearing capabilities??Dan Madden :TComment

Totally depressing! At least I know I don't have to worry about a DC to 22khz passband anymore!- Mike

Honestly I think for the test to be remotely accurate you'd have to have a headset that's pretty decent and flat up to like 22-24khz.Comment

The 12000 Hz test in the 1st link is so full of aliasing that it isn't 12000 Hz at all, it sounds lower in pitch than the 8000 Hz test. You have to watch out for this with compressed sources, especially on Youtube.
The other links worked better. I tried with Sony earbuds plugged into the computer, and also with my tube headphone amp and Beyer cans and got the same results, I lose it around 13 KHz. I'm 48 and have mild tinnitus.Comment

I was afraid of the file quality when I linked this.
Did not have a chance to check it.Comment

Yes I agree that headphone quality would be paramount for these tests. I would also recommend trying them all to see if the high frequency cutout to your ears is roughly the same in all of them. My ears cut out at around 15.5khz in all of them but 13khz would certainly be normal for a dude 45-55 years old.Dan Madden :TComment

It's ok, by time I'm 50 I'll be ready for my bionic ear implant.Comment

Hey guys,
I was wondering how many (if any) people in this forum experience ringing in their ears. I am 27, and have had mild Tinnitus (ringing in the ear) for the past three years. It has really never been a bother to me until about 2 weeks ago, when the volume of the ringing suddenly became... -
I just hooked everything up today for the first time all together (see "How am I sitting" thread from earlier this week), and played the Eagles new cd and Finding Nemo DVD. In both cases with the volume not very loud, and even with it turned down, my 2-1/2 year old son cupped his hands over... -
Hi all,
I read this over at John Krutke's blog, and it piqued my interest in testing some of my drivers.
I don't have a measurement mic, just a tripod/SPL meter, warble tones, LCR/multimeter, and computer-based tone generator.
Can someone tell me, should... -
So I'm thinking of doing a cap listening test to see if I can hear any difference between them. I know there are two camps here, but I'm keeping an open mind. It's my belief that if there are audible differences between any inert components in the signal path, I'll have the greatest chance of discovering... -
Thanks to Jim , Curt, all the statement's fans and their fantastic works, my full statement was built up yesterday. It took me 3 weeks and maybe another 2 weeks to finish it up with glossy black.
But because I don't have a pair of experienced ears, I can not tell if it sounds correct...
