17 khz and 18 years old but play metal (loudly), so that's not too strange. I pretend I felt some very light 'pressure' on my ears at 18khz, but I couldn't actually hear it.

I can hear up to 18 khz (24 and younger). I'm 18, so I guess my ears have taken a slight beating. I do feel a slight pressure at 19 though.

...you're supposed to be able to hear all of them at your age



My ears are fine. I can't hear 20khz but I definitely can feel it with my earphones on.

With my speakers at a moderate level I start to lose it at 15khz and I can't hear 16khz at all. With my speakers turned up I start to lose it at 18Khz and it's gone at 19Khz


I'm 43

22 years old. I can barely hear 16khz. Not even sure if I'm actually hearing it or not. 15khz is loud and clear.

I can hear them all, but I think my speakers might have something to do with it because I have a sweet system. I am 21.

thirty five.. and I can hear up to 19Khz, If I practice in a loud environment, I wear earplugs. don't necessarily pamper my ears, but I do protect them when I can.

21 kHz (faint, but no prob at all at 20kHz), I'm 20, been living for 6 years with headphones on my head. Good headphones, not too loud music is the key.

16 khz. Could very easily be my speakers though. Or my ears. I do have a bit of hearing loss already, but nothing that loud noises caused, just born that way.
