Some shitty tests on youtube are not accurate for few obvious reasons.
Do not waste your time on them.

This is approved method to check your ears by dr. Margie

Whole procedure took around 5 minutes and is worth your time if you really wanna check your frequency hearing or hearing loss.

Start from 14 kHz or lower if you are older or didn't hear difference at 14 kHz.
Here is reference of average hearing Frequency by Age.



https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_frequency.php?frq=14

First listen to "Full Range" and "Below 14kHz" few times to compare them and see if you hear difference.
If you hear difference prove it by starting the blind test.

Click on the "?" to start blind test and hear audio.
You can listen it few times before selecting answer. Then select which one it was in your opinion.
"Full Range" or "Below 14kHz".
Repeat test 10 times! If your answers was accurate at least 9/10 you prove that you hear up to 14 kHz.
Move on to the next Frequency. Repeat those steps until you meet Frequency which is too hard for you to distninguish.
And the answer to "Up To Which Frequency Do You Hear" will be the highest frequency you will able to distinguish correctly.






There are many other interesting Tests in the "Blind Test" tab on the site. But in my opinion Spectrum Range Test is the most important one.

If your ears sucks don't worry. You always will be able to hear your wife creaky voice.
Especially when you buy audio equipment

 

if you play the piccolo in the basement, are the notes lower or did i misunderstand something here?

 

From where did you deducted this?

 

There is a very clear difference for me. It took like 10 seconds.

 

This is just the first Frequency you had start. Now move to the higher and higher

15 kHz
https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_frequency.php?frq=15

16 kHz
https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_frequency.php?frq=16

17 kHz
https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_frequency.php?frq=17

18 kHz
https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_frequency.php?frq=18

19 kHz
https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_frequency.php?frq=19

 

I noticed on the chart the frequencies that lie between 2048 and 8192 designated as the 8th and 9th octaves, and I quote..."Gives presence to speech, where labial and fricative sounds lie"...implies that vaginas can talk during intercourse, and now it all makes sense, the Shakespeare soliloquy coming from my wife's yoni the other night while making love. I really thought that I was going mad!

..."Must, like a whore, unpack my heart with words,
And fall a-cursing, like a very drab,
A stallion! Fie upon't! foh! (2.2.581-587)

Also look in the comments section

 

I'm now about at 9.5 khz and no longer need a deesser...sibilence, what sibilence?

 

Don't worry man. 5 years ago I heard up to 18.5 kHz.
I heard a mosquito in the attic and when the neighbors turned on the TV.
I thought I had hearing like a terminator and it would never change.

I made a test now and I hear up to 15 kHz.
I am deaf as fuck and I even didn't pass 30.
In this tempo I will be praying to hear 9 kHz when I will be in your age.

 

Sorry to almost hear that...could you rephrase that with a larger font?

 

I dont think these tests are condusive. Higher fequencies affect lower frequencies. Even if you can not hear higher frequencies the effect on the lower frequencies in volume and warbling can still be percieved. Also this is also going to test your speakers and headphones more than your ears. Single tone next to a young person is the only real home test lol.

 

I can hear clearly 19,558 Hz in https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ and the rest, i think is my hardware not capable of, if i turn up the volume distortion begins.

And 75,500 points (hardest level) on this interesting test https://plasticity.szynalski.com/

19.5 kHz?
So it looks like you are no more than 16 years old or this test isn't accurate to determine hearing loss.

 

I am wayyyy older , maybe is the test but I can still hear the bats in the night. So may be I have super ears
What's your highest freq on that test?

 

This szynalski tone generator?
I hear there up to 19,267 Hz

 

Yes, that's enough for a gooood mix & master

 

found this today, interesting observations, regarding zinc and hearing loss.

https://www.newscientist.com/articl...-clue-for-why-loud-noise-causes-hearing-loss/

Exposure to loud noises may affect our hearing by disrupting levels of zinc in our inner ears, a study in mice suggests. Therapies that mitigate this could be used to treat or even prevent such damage, for example if taken before a rock concert.

Loud noises can cause cells in the inner ear to die. This has long been known to affect hearing, but the mechanism behind it is less clear.

Thanos Tzounopoulos at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, suspected it might have something to do with free-moving zinc, which plays an important role in the neurological communication of our senses.
Most of the body’s zinc is attached to proteins, but the rest works as a communication signal between organs, especially the brain, says Tzounopoulos. The highest concentration of free zinc in the body is in the cochlea, the snail-shaped structure in the inner ear that converts vibrations into electrical signals, which are then interpreted as sound.

To learn more, Tzounopoulos and his colleagues tested free zinc levels in young mice that had been genetically modified to produce biological markers that flag the transportation of free zinc throughout the body.

unfortunately thats as far as I could get in the article without registering, and everyone knows what a wallflower I am when it comes to providing personal information on the internets.....

What became of these strange young mice? - stay tuned as I search for open source versions of the article...

 

this article provides more details and information

TLDR.... don't know yet if it will work in humans...

Previous studies have shown that traumatic noises of varying durations and intensities can lead to different types of damage to cells in the cochlea, the fluid-filled cavity in the inner ear that plays an essential role in hearing. For instance, in mouse studies, noise equivalent to a blasting rock concert caused the loss of tiny sound-detecting hair cells and essential supporting cells in the cochlea, leading to hearing loss. Milder noises comparable to the sound of a hand drill can lead to subtler hearing loss, as essential connections, or synapses, between hair cells and sensory neurons are lost.

To better understand why this happens, the research team wanted to investigate the underlying cellular- and molecular-level events and signals responsible for inner ear damage and irreversible hearing loss caused by loud sounds. They looked to zinc, an essential mineral in our diets that plays many important roles in the body. Interestingly, zinc concentrations in the inner ear are highest of any organ or tissue in the body. But, despite this, the role of zinc in the cochlea and its effects on hearing and hearing loss hadn’t been studied in detail.

Most zinc in the body—about 90%—is bound to proteins. But the researchers were interested in the approximately 10% of zinc that’s free-floating, due to its important role in signaling in the brain and other parts of the nervous system. They wanted to find out what happens to the high concentrations of zinc in the mouse cochlea after traumatic levels of noise, and whether targeting zinc might influence inner ear damage associated with hearing loss.

The researchers found that, hours after mice were exposed to loud noise, zinc levels in the inner ear spiked and were dysregulated in the hair cells and in key parts of the cochlea, with significant changes to their location inside cells. Those changes in zinc were associated with cellular damage and disrupted communication between sensory cells in the inner ear.

The good news is that this discovery suggested a possible solution: inner ear damage and hearing loss might be averted by targeting excess zinc. And their subsequent findings suggest that it works. Studies in mice that were treated with a slow-releasing compound in the inner ear were protected from noise-induced damage and associated hearing loss. The treatment involves a chemical compound known as a zinc chelating agent, which binds and traps excess free zinc, thus limiting cochlear damage and hearing loss.

Will this strategy work in people? We don’t know yet. However, the researchers report that they’re planning to pursue preclinical safety studies of the new treatment approach. Their hope is to one day make a zinc-targeted treatment readily available to protect against noise-induced hearing loss. But, for now, the best way to protect your hearing while working with noisy power tools or attending a rock concert is to remember your ear protection.
