Where is your hearing loss cutoff?

[Rockbobmel]

This may be the wrong sub forum but....... Mine is around 24 hz to 4800 hz.

Online Tone Generator - generate pure tones of any frequency

48K? You might be a ferret

Don’t believe everything that you hear on the internet.

Where is your hearing loss cutoff?

When my wife asks me to do something...

Why am I shouting?

The question could also be "how good is the sound system you are using" On mine, I'm about 26Hz to just under 13 K.

At least my thinking is....

Depends on the headphones and output

True, mine tops out at around 15000. Not too bad for approaching 40.

I tested a tone generator among a class of teenagers (14-15) I am 42 and played loud rock for more than 23 years. I tested 14000Hz.. I heard nothing but the students heard it fine.. I am down around 13000Hz sensitiviy..

I fired up that app. I had my phone on full volume and played the 20K tone - my daughter comes racing from three rooms away...”what is that sound”? I couldn’t hear it.

I top out around 12-13kHz....and that coincides with my tinnitus.

16-17k. Done it many times in the past, usually the highs stop at 14k, but with this one I heard up to 17k. Pretty good for 57, I'd say.

BUT...

there were times I heard different tones that I know aren't as high as they should have sounded, so I wonder if this test is bogus.

You can't really test hearing without a system that is free of innate distortion and all external artifacts. Despite claims made by some current vendors, certified audiologists and researchers in most states use a "audiometric" booth and dedicated testing system.

Mine cuts off around 14kHz. My wife can hear to at least 18kHz well into her 40s but it does mean that electronic whining bothers her much more.

I'd say damn impressive, Jimmy.

15Hz [14 with difficulty]. Up to 17.5kHz, which I have a feeling is actually the limit of these headphones, and not my hearing, because it is a very sudden drop, unlike the low frequencies.
But I am also a youngin. A mere 26.

What?

Belltone labs will give you a free hearing test.

I hear it drop off right around 15.5k, this is with a pair of budget 3' tall L/R towers, a decent center channel , as well as surround channels going. Then the sub is in a coffee table sized cab w 1x15", so the lows are decent.

 

[Rockbobmel]

I COULD hear a little higher, but the purpose was to clock my hearing before major drop off frequencies. So I don't think clinical system is necessary.
Besides, the Cicadas in my ears won't stop and they sing around 5K hz

58 to 3,650.
I thought sure I'd go lower.
The 3,650 is higher than I thought, though.
Then again, computer monitors might not be giving me much to be hearing.
