The 10k one was quite loud and I couldn't tell if the ones after were cause I actually heard them or my ears were still ringing. There goes my cilia.

Cool Re: Hows your hearing?

I could listen up to 19kHz, I couldn't/barely could hear the higher frequencies, but I could definitely feel my eardrums move along to them.

Default Re: Hows your hearing?

I could hear all those sounds. Is it possible that normal speakers don't produce sounds at 22kHz and lower the pitch or something to do with the mp3 format? I tried it with a pair of headphones and it was still audible.

I got all the ones right on the pitch quiz. That one isn't too hard.

Did anyone try the volume one? I couldn't tell any of them apart on that one.

There's another test where he has an mp3 at 320kbps and another at 128kbps and you're supposed to vote which sounds better. It's funny because the results indicate that over half the people voted for the 128kbps one. Maybe this is because of a generation raised listening to music on earbuds?

Ok so I couldnt get passed 17 kHz on the first test. This is probably from having my bass amp blasting in my ear, or from listening to headphones too much.

The pitch test i answered all correctly. Pretty easy.

Reminds me of the walter lewin lecture where he's increasing the frequency asking anyone who can hear it to stand up. He turns it off at 22k and people are still raising their hands

19K was my best. And I am a musician.

I can hear quite well, but normally act as if I don't. I have problems with keeping my attention, so I always say I 'didn't quite hear it' because I feel like such a dick when I don't.

18 is the highest one I can hear. So if you took 22 and cranked it really loud but you couldn't hear it, could it still damage your hearing?

I have one of these on my iPhone and I can hear up to 18,000 Hz on that, but it may be because the iPhone speakers aren't that good.

EDIT: I can hear 19,000 Hz with the one from the OP. And I scored 4/4.
