This post about Tinnitus, which effects many Baby Boomers and will probably effect younger people too, included as an update a test for Can You Hear Like a Teenager.
Musicians have a much higher risk of hearing loss that most people do, and many of us don’t really wear proper hearing protection. Even just listening to an ipod for an extended period of time can permanently damage your hearing. We also gradually lose our high-frequency hearing as we age.
Sound and Noise Addicts added these sound files as an unscientific gauge of your hearing.
If you can’t hear these tones, or aren’t sure, might be worthwhile for you to stick a butter knife in your ear and gouge out the earwax. Or go see a doctor.
And if you like white noise while at the computer, give this little $5 application a go. (Free evaluation.)
Can’t hear any of them. Oh…wait a minute. I’m deaf.
Heh, I forgot.

@Kirk: I thought it was just me. I couldn’t hear any of them either. I think it’s a prank.
April 1 around the corner, gotta be thinking along those lines. Time to clean out the old internet tubes, don’t forget to cover up your phone/cable outlets.
Bloody Hell!! What are you trying to do to me? I played the 12Kh and it is bang on my Tinnitus frequency. I had a sympathetic vibration and now I’m deaf.
Knickers! Forgot the Notify thingy [Kirk will sympathise] AND I type Kh instead of Kz. What kind of useless site is this?

@Grandad: Awesome that the sound nailed your tinnitus, but how did you know? Maybe Herself told ya? Kh/Kz who would have known?
I had an audio test a few years ago. My range was great [he was impressed!] but there was one frequency I couldn’t hear, as it was masked and that nailed my Tinnitus.

I sympathize so I checked the damn box first.
And it’s kHz actually.

@Kirk: bwahahahaha! Khz!
No…kHz! The H is capitalized, not the ‘k’. Never argue with an ex-sound engineer.

“And it’s kHz actually.”
Smart arse.

Yah…it’s my tinnitus.
I’ll probably pay for that.

@Grandad and Kirk: don’t make me get out of this chair.
