How high can you hear?

16 khz with my normal volume, up to 23 at full blast but I never list en at that volume

And this is why the test is 100% BS.
Over the last few years I've attended several clinics and had at least 10 proper hearing tests that are all done with the same clinical hearing equipment.
We are all using different gear at different volumes.

I'm not sure cranking the volume up on the frequencies you can't hear well is a good idea tbh. Might do some damage if your headphones are well amped?

I think i'll just take a proper ear test lol .. Not had one in at least 5 years anyway

StudentDavid · 27 Dec 2015 at 18:16

I can hear all of those upto 22, not sure if higher is on that site but I couldn't find it. I use a soundcard and Beyerdynamic dt770's

I hear nothing after 12KHz but seeing as I'm a 58yr old ex motorcyclist with a liking for loud concerts it's not really much of a surprise.

ViRuS2k · 27 Dec 2015 at 19:11

30 with Hyperx clouds

18khz

19 I get nothing, I hear something if I crank it up on 20.

Quartz · 27 Dec 2015 at 20:25

14 kHz if I crank the volume, but I do have tinnitus and am near 50.

tyler_jrb · 27 Dec 2015 at 20:34

i can hear 19kHz and very faintly 20Khz with the volume up.

20 with T90's

Next time I'll hire one of those hearing machines and get them sent out...

It's a bit of fun, it's not going to be 100% accurate but I can tell you most of the earphones I have laying around both cheap crab and my SE535's seem to be able to reach up to 20kHz with the same consistency.

Dicehunter · 27 Dec 2015 at 22:06

22KHz although it's like a feint dog whistle

james.miller · 28 Dec 2015 at 13:03

these tests are all flawed, any kind of resampling in the drivers will cause an audible distortion where noise wouldnt normally be heard.

tried it anyway. desktop speakers, no resampling or eq going on. me = 16khz. my 5 year old son, 21khz :eek:

randal · 28 Dec 2015 at 13:07

17Khz for me is the peak, 34. I do suffer from tinnitus, can hear two tones constantly which I think are around 16Khz or so.

bimbleuk · 28 Dec 2015 at 14:21

My Fostex phones are rated to 30K (Orthodynamic drivers) but the O2 DAC/Amp only goes to 20K so makes sense I can't hear anything above that. Though I can't hear anything at 19K so that could me or the hardware in between. 44 by the way.

Surfer · 28 Dec 2015 at 14:32

can barely hear 14khz..

SideWinder · 28 Dec 2015 at 14:53

15 is my limit...can't hear 16.

UTmaniac · 29 Dec 2015 at 22:15

42, can only hear 8 and 10 kHz at my standard volume!

jasonsony735 · 29 Dec 2015 at 23:51

33 and can only hear up to 15khz so pretty normal for my age so I'm happy since I spent most of my 20s in night clubs.

himen256 · 29 Dec 2015 at 23:55

^Same I can hear till 18 on normal volume, equipment in sig.

Tephnos · 30 Dec 2015 at 00:06

I'm 22, I can hear 19 and it hurts a lot, 20 is faint, 21 even fainter.

22 I just can't tell.
