So I was just surfing the web and I happened upon this site. If you ever felt like testing your hearing heres the place. I'm now considering getting some ear plugs cause I cant hear the 2200 frequency.

Warning may give you a headache.

man i could only make it up to 1800...damn loud gangster rap! haha

w00t w00t!

I can hear em all! But then again i'm only 22

FWIW, your computer's speakers may or may not reproduce those high frequencies all that well.

I tapered off at about 19K... but then again that's through the speakers built into a Dell Laptop....

The odds are that your computer speakers cannot reproduce the frequency range accurately.

Ever go to a concert and walked out with your ears ringing or feeling stuffy? You have lost part of your hearing.

Listen to a loud stereo for a while and get the same results?

Go for a long ride and hear the wind noise?

All of these can and do cost you your hearing. Everytime you subject yourself to it some of your hearing goes away. Some will come back but not all. The effect is also cumulative. It adds up. Eventually you will go deaf.

Wear your earplugs.


PS.

I get somewhat of a kick out of the car stereos with the heavy bottom end. You are looking at a minimum of an 18 foot wavelength before the low end even forms up. Are your subs at least 18 feet away from you? Didn't think so. Everybody but you gets to hear the low end. You may get to feel it though.

yeah mine was coming out of a Dell laptop too. and i stopped around 1900 or 1800 too.

That's the point, isn't it - It's not about the "music" - it's about showboating.

My Dad and my Grandfather both are partially deaf - It's a genetic thing I guess. I can't wait for that to happen to me.

You folks worry too much..........

Eh? Whazzat? Speak directly into the cone, and bring me some gruel!


i got up to 17k. I do find i have to concentrate very hard to hear what people are saying when i can't see their mouths though.
