I'm 28 and My hearing age is 50! :|

I'm looking forward to not being able to hear women and children. Sadly, I've got a few years to go.

Same....but I reckon it is the speakers that can't handle those frequencies. Either that or I am fekking deaf

 

[TJ99]

More likely it's due to the fact that Youtube's sound codecs are nowhere near good enough for proper hearing tests and frequencies above +-16kHz get cut off entirely.

 

[Mr.Jax]

I barely made the "under 40"...or so I think lol.
I'm turning 40 in Dec.

off topic: I found this video earlier today, by the same author, (coincidence?) about your eyes. Also pretty cool.

[DerpiesFreud]

I just heard high pitched squealing the entire time...then I muted the sound,but the high pitched squealing was still there...

 

[Jhbgirl]

Under 50 although I'm much younger....waaaaaaaaaaah!

 

[Priapus]

Under 40 for me. I'm 25.

 

[b_crazy]

Well this is strange because I could only hear the 8000Hz(Everyone) and 19 000Hz (Under 20). I couldn't hear any of the other frequencies. I'm 28 :wtf:

maybe your headphones/speakers are broken

 

[MrG]

I could also only hear the under 40 one. I am 24...

 

[Recruitsmiths]

Only heard the first one......
No wonder, unlike other people, I don't hear voices in my head!

 

[P924]

This test is complete bogus. I can hear 19kHz easily, just confirmed by this test - http://mdf1.tripod.com/test-tones.html (might also be limited by the equipment used).

But on that video the last thing that makes a sound is 15kHz. I suspect it is probably the audio compression. Nevertheless, it renders the test in the OP useless.

 

[seventhson]

I am under 24 but I am 24 So thats good

Doesn't audio compression discard frequencies that you generally can't hear? I wouldnt trust the youtube video. Play an uncompressed WAV, or AIF file and I guarantee you will get better bresults.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

I'm surprised I can hear the under 40 frequency considering all the abuse my ears have take over the years. I am 30 so I can live with that.

Never mind that, I'm sure the quality of headphones used plays a roll too.

I'm gonna try this with a cr@ppy headset, then with my Sennheisers...
