Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1202778 Headphones are probably the most accurate way to do it. 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 |

The last one I can hear is at 12,000 Hz but my kids can hear all of them. learn to lip read...i helps me..since i was 3..i am now 60.. |

Free hearing test, How many can you hear before silence? 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. |

Free hearing test, How many can you hear before silence? 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. |

Free hearing test, How many can you hear before silence? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33733231 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 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. |
