How old are your ears [hearing test]

There are apparently sounds only teenagers can hear. 🧐
The older you get the less able you are to hear apparently.

Take the test and find out how old you ears are.


me: Over 30
first part of test:
started hearing around 170 hz without earphones
, 38hz with earphones

for the second part of the test: start at 1:58 ...the lowest sound I could hear was 16000hz [under 30] with and without earphones

Oooh, cool! I'm going to try it now.
I'm 22. In the first test I can hear a sound from 16Hz to 15000Hz and in the second I can hear something for everything except the newborn, although admittedly towards the end the sound is just a small click.

That was a bit of fun - obviously the results depend on the equipment you're using like soundcard and headphones and environment you're in. I could hear from 19kHz - about 17MHz which, given I'm over 70, I'm really pleased with.

I got the same results as you.😂
26 years old.

1)17 Hz - 18,600 Hz.
2)18,000 - 19,000 Hz (The 19,000 might just be my brain playing tricks on me).

I'm suspected of having Asperger's so, that may or may not be why I can hear better than most (according to the video) at my age, however as others have said it depends on the hardware you're using also.

i did get up to under 20, but after that yh i agree it was pretty much just clicking xD
that's why we learned about those 'teen alarms' to ward off gangs n stuff in year 6 by taking the test loool
