How screwed is your hearing?

14 for me. However, with ALL the others beyond it, I can "feel" there's a tone playing, even if I can't hear it. There's a "click" in my ear and what feels like a "pressure change".

My six year old can hear up to 17 he says.

My seven year old can't be arsed to drag himself away from Sonic to do it, the lazy little scrote.

My cat went vaguely mental at 22, and my wife just moaned throughout.

Your hearing might be going but your multi-tasking is most impressive!

[Pyroxian]

It might depend on speakers/headphones too - some won't play sounds above a certain range.

16.

I SAID 16 DEAR.

I'm exactly the same... can hear up to 14 but I can 'feel' the ones beyond. Like others, been to a lot of heavy metal concerts in my time, so I reckon 14's not too bad.

Couldn't get passed 8 me and that's with my hearing aids in.  Although that's not as bad as it seems, 'cos without the aids I wouldn't have heard anything!!  Had to shake my head when I read Emps saying that he's got "temporary tinitus", because I'm afraid temporary tinitus always turns into permanent tinitus and, take it from this old bastard, that that is not a good place to be.

Turn that music down, lads and lassies and wear those ear protectors.

Listening to Led Zep at full volume and firing tank rounds was great fun at the time but there's always a price to pay!!!

17 for me, although I might be able to hear 18. Of course, you really need to do this with headphones, not speakers. And if, like me, you've got tinnitus, good luck differentiating that from the higher frequencies!

12Khz was the highest I could hear as well, which considering that I spent by 20s listening to Indie rock and my 30s living in "Screaming Infant Street" isn't too bad.

16 for me.

[Gavin_Leahy_Block]

Nothing past 15KHz.

[soggy]

Either I am doing this wrong or I should be in the X-Men because I seem to be able to here them all. Although strangely 15 is one of the hardest to hear

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Seems broken. I can't download anything above 14.

[vzzbux]

19 for me.
I am not surprised though. When I go to a job that has those cat scarer's in their garden I have to tell them to turn it off as it really effects me to the point of inducing a headache if prolonged.
It shouldn't be this way though as through my youth I went to many a concert and still play my metal music loud and thrashing, also don't wear ear defenders as much as I should at work.

Just redone the test because my volume was very low.
I can hear the lot.
Am I a freak?

I suffer from bad tinnitus as well.
