Those high notes are piercing even with the volume low. That may be because I'm wearing headphones.

Headphones are probably the most accurate way to do it. thumbs

without headphones I couldn't hear the low ranges but with the on, I can hear them all

but didn't help me with the higher range

People need to realize that some headphones cannot actually play certain high end and low end frequencies in this test.

That's why I suggested bringing another person into the room to try it out too. You are correct.

30 - 12000. Age 52. You have to use headphones as this made a huge difference. I could only hear 100 - 10000 on my laptop speakers.

Just click the different frequencies one at a time until you can't hear them anymore and report back at what point the tones stop.

The last one I can hear is at 12,000 Hz but my kids can hear all of them.

This test is really lo-fi . Mainly because the human ear has different sensitivities over the audio spectrum. We are most sensitive to sound in the 1KHz range. and least sensitive in the upper and lower bands. In order for the test to be more accurate each frequency should be weighted to the Fletcher-Munson curve. You can approximate the curve by turning the volume up at higher and lower frequencies. Also, as mentioned, headphone and soundcard responses vary.

I was told from a hearing test at my Optitians that I had 30% hearing loss in my one ear. never did book an appointment to get it checked out properly.
Will do the test when I get 5 mins quiet here, it may kick my behind into gear.

It's a fun test anyway, give it a shot.

Also if you could enter your age as well after reporting back. 39 here.

I can hear them all, which is surprising since I grew up with a dad that had significant hearing loss and my spouse has significant hearing loss and everything is always loud, unless I'm up by myself.

I'll be 38 next month.

just went back and turned it all the way up - now I hear the 20 hz.

Very weird, though - just realized I can hear the 20,000 and 19,000 and 16,000 but not the 17,000 and 18,000. ?

I could hear all of them. I do have very good speakers plugged in mind, and my hearing is very good, ( I often sit and listen to bats and badger scarers scare the crap out of me.
