Hearing test. I got up to 16.4 Khz.
Puts the debate on the pros and cons of steep cutoff at 20Khz and
supertweeters in perspective.
Also, I would think it means that analog sound (vinyl) with reduced level
and/or distortion in the extremely high frequencies works perfectly for me.
I dont need what I cant hear :-)

I can hear the 18 KHz tone quite nicely thank you. But I was born in 1946.
What does that mean? ;-)

It means that with continued good health and fortune, eventually you
will not be able to hear it. :-(

It means that you are quite rare and very lucky. Most men our age can't hear
much above 12K, if that high! Of course just because one CAN hear doesn't
necessarily mean that one knows how to listen.

I was born in 1949. The sound/frequence from my PC-speakers didn't sound
right at all, so I downloaded the files as wav and copied them to a card
and played them on my sound system using the headphones.
I thought there was something wrong with those files so I created my own
using Audacity. Same result. Can't hear anything above 11 kHz
It would be interesting to hear what others can hear at their age.

I too was born in 1949, and can hear the 14k comfortably but not the 15k at
all. I have tried to look after my ears, and when I was in my teens could
hear 22k. No longer sadly, but it has got rid of the incredibly irritating
15.6k whistle from TV timebases.

I played the full sequence of tones through computer speakers, and
I topped out at 12 Khz, while my 6 year old son could hear even the highest tones.

I then connected up a good pair of headphones (Audio-Technica ATH-A700s)
and could hear up to 16 Khz, which was a bit of a relief.

I was born in 1935. Using the Woodford test CD, my Maggie ribbons
provide a response up to and including the 13 kHz tone. I wish to get
yet much older even if that means hearing less. Perhaps one day 'stem
cell's will be able to provide a newborn's inner ear.

My work-computer junk speakers cut off about 15k. I put on a decent
set of headphones (NOT earbuds) and got easily to 17.4 - 57 years
old... I could pretend to higher - but very likely it would only be
pretense and/or wishful thinking. Something was there - real or
imagined, in other words.

I'm pretty flat to 14KHz, but my hearing falls off pretty steeply above that.
For instance, I can no longer hear a standard NTSC TV raster and when I was
young, it used to drive me to distraction. The reason that I figure I can
still hear 14K at 63 is because I never listened to rock-'n-roll. Never
attended a rock concert and generally stayed away from really loud sources of
noise.

Born in 1927. When I was doing TV repair years ago, the 15,700 high voltage
was annoying. But I knew it was working.
Now I go as high as 2500 . Thank goodness for modern hearing aids I hear
very good. WW

I tried this on my computer speakers at work and got to 12 Khz. Then I
tried it at home on my hifi and got to 15 Khz. Be wary of computer
speakers as their response wont be so linear, especially at high
frequencies.

I was able to hear to 15 KHz on my computer speakers. I switched to
headphones and got up to 17.4 KHz. Not bad for someone who started
listening to loud rock music in the late 60's.

At 35 years old I could hear up to 23 kHz.
Now at 55 years old I can hear up to 18.7 kHz.
I now testing with my Sennheiser HD650 headphone
and comfortable level.
