How depressing. I couldn't hear the 16k hz tone. My teenagers could. They loved it and wish they could talk in that frequency so adults like me can't hear them. Worse was that I had trouble hearing the lower frequencies. How come i can hear a 40hz tone on a test CD but not the 45hz tone on that website test? Is it just a matter of decibel levels? Fascinating and depressing.
Curious about the state of your hearing?
Audiophiles tend to make outlandish (and unsubstantiated) assumptions about their hearing acuity. I used to get an audiometer test every year, but it became expensive and depressing.
