How Deaf Are You?

28 here, But I was born hearing impaired (mild-to-moderate in one ear, and moderate-to-severe in the other ear, and one ear does better on low tones than the other), so the only one I could even notice was 8khz.
 


22 and only 17khz. I'm kinda hoping that's just my speakers having limitations, but it's more likely that I'm going deaf.
 
@mingrza "that sounded so swanky I just had to look it up" Don't get too excited. AM doesn't pay that well - mine just look like big black boxes.


lol... well i didn't think you had that model. $45k for a pair of speakers is kinda going a little over the top...

Even for those super affiliate types.
 
22khz, headphones, middle-aged.

Used to play in a rock band too, but I always used rolled-up tissue-paper ear-plugs (the regular kind get dirty, don't seem as good and change texture after washing).

Couldn't stand loud noises. Looks like it paid off.

To people worried about hearing, get a proper hearing test. I found another on the internet and it showed some impairment. Also, some **** on Youtube put out a video designed to blow your speakers, I think, so watch out.
 
PS: I think there's at least one scam site out there. Or da link to deh sound be broken. Took another hearing test. Showed I couldn't hear 50hz. Looked up '50hz tone' on Google. Found one on another site. Could hear that fine.

i.e. "Can't hear the tone? Book a hearing appointment here yadda yadda".

TIP: Turn your volume way down low at first. I nearly blew my head off at one of these sites.
 
<sigh> after seeing the success of others by using headphones I went ahead to try mine out but alas, same score.

Go see the Melvins live and you probably won't hear past 16 either...
 
I'm 20 and could barely hear the 21kHz.

I have a Samsung LCD tv in my room, and when it is off it makes one of these high frequency sounds. It is so annoying.

I am color blind though:
