27 and same, I just can't hear anything at all above that.
my soundcard is to **** I can only hear upto 15,000hz but I can't even hear that one unless I set my soundcard to 96khz all the other one just emit a wierd popping sound like my crap soundcard is trying to keel over and die
I've barely ever listened to loud music etc as well , not listened to stupidly loud headphones etc so my hearing is probably pretty good compared to a lot of people
Or you just have rubbish hearing.....
or I just have a rubbish sound card
or is everyone elses making wierd popping and distorted sounds trying to play the frequencies ?

This. I find it hard to believe I can't even hear 15000Hz.

I can't hear everything but the 19KHz because of:
"NOTE: The 19,000 Hz frequency has been lost due to YouTube compressing the file."
Most likely I can hear that also, because 18KHz was clear enough, aged 21.

I just tested it by pointing mty speaker outside setting it to full last and skipping to 16,000hz or whatever it was.
theres loads of kids playing outside little ones around 5-9 years old I would guess, non of them even looked towards my window until that guy started talking
oh wait if I set the video to 1080P I can hear them all apart from 19,000
which goes with what my original post says

"Under 30". I can hear 15000hz but for the higher frequencies all I can hear are distorted "clicks".

I'm 23 and could hear up to 17,000 Hz. Next stage up was for under 24s, so I'm pretty happy. I've also been able to rinse my girlfriend who thinks I'm deaf...
set the video quality to 1080p and u should be able to hear higher?
I found this website better than youtube:
http://www.freemosquitoringtones.org/hearing_test/
I'm somewhere between 14kHz and 15kHz.
My housemate can hear 17,000 Hz, which opens up a world of exciting possibilities and pranks!!

have to turn the volume up a bit for the last one though but I don't have my pc very loud to begin with

can just hear 16khz on that one. and easily hear 15khz so pretty much what I should be, little surprised I though it would be worse than that.
I'm 32 around about 16KHz is missing for me but I can hear above that and below that fine. My hearing is mostly pretty good but there is 2 areas where I have holes in it one somewhere around the middle of adult voice range :S and the other around 16-17KHz.
