Frequency Test

/stupid.

 

Well dang. I told my dad about this, inquiring about if I had any deafness problems when I was a child; he had pretty sensitive hearing, so I wanted him to see if it was just the computer or my own hearing.

 

So I plugged my Sennheiser headphones into his computer: I went to test it it, to see if I could still not hear at 17000khz. I could. Infact, I checked them all and I could hear quite well up to 25000khz. About all I could say then, with a completely dumbfounded look, was "well, dang."

 

Huh. I went from going deaf to above average hearing. That's quite a leap, I think. I also now want to set my M-Audio Fast Track box on fire and never look back for playing such a cruel trick on me.

I can hear 19,000. And I always blast my music and I've been to high volumed concerts too.

Now, the thing that scares me is that so far I can only hear up to about 15,000khz

That could be a lot of factors. A problem with the speakers or headphones you are using... or even the soundcard.

Do you have any EQ enabled in your sound settings?

Background noise can also be a masking factor... computer fans, air conditioners running in the next room...

 

Retake the test in a more controlled environment sometime.

 

EDIT:

 

I couldn't hear above 15K on my headphones, but I could hear 18K on my speakers. I'm kinda surprised I can hear that high at all.

15 000 was loud and clear.

20 000 herz I could barely hear.

21 000 herz was apparently just above my treshold.

 

Nice to know:).

 

(oh, and rhyme not intended:p)

I could hear 21000 perfectly well, and I -think- I could -sort of- hear 25000

[MrWally]

... but what about 22000-24000, you could hear those...right?
