That test is utter rubbish because I can hear everything when I know I've got hearing problems.
I'm 50 and been playing in rock bands for the last 38 years.
Last night I was doing the sound for a KISS tribute band and my ears are still humming.
I know for a fact that my hearing is defective above 16khz because where I work (NHS) I had the audiologists do a test on me.
You're wasting your time with this test.

Yeah wasting time if your using speakers from your monitor maybe.

How come my Dad cant hear anything past 15khz. My mum can't hear nothing past 13khz. I can only hear up to 18khz. My speakers go up to 20khz so it's not a total waste of time at all.

Try it with other people and I bet you theres a difference to when you stop hearing the tones.

Your mummy & daddy should be going to see the audiologists then because this taste is 100% useless.
With proper tests done at the audiologt dept at the hospital I have major trouble past 16khz but I can hear all those on the MP3.

Well maybe your audiologist is wrong then and you have better hearing than you first thought.

Can you explain to me if this light hearted test is utter rubbish, how I can hear upto 18khz and when asking my parents "WHAT you can't hear that?" they respond "Nope nothing". Are everybodys speakers incapable of outputting 20khz ??? which is what many people cannot hear. The specifications of my speakers say that they can produce this range so would it be so unbelievable as to why some cannot hear these ranges?

A tone is a tone at the end of the day. It's not rocket science that requires white lab coat and an official office to make the test work.
