Riffster Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 This is cool, I was just checking my right ear in which I developed Tinnitus 2 years ago after an infection and sure enough just as my doctor told after tests I lost the ability to hear above the 8kHz frequency on my right ear, my left ear still has full range. Obviously there are a few things to keep in mind: - You will not hear a sound if your speakers cannot reproduce the frequency. - If your speakers can reproduce the frequency you may not able to hear, in my case I can hear high frequencies with one ear. - Ambiance noise matters, when my ears were tested it was in an isolation booth, my tinnitus is so bad, thank God for ambiance noise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNf9nzvnd1k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krock Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It disappeared for me around 12200 but then strangely I heard it again after a few hundred Hz had passed and it lasted right to the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I get my hearing tested every 6 months due to complications from birth that nearly deafened me. My hearing has been flawless for the past 15 years or so, and just recently they detected a very slight dip in the 3khz range. Below and above that, I'm fine. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It disappeared for me around 12200 but then strangely I heard it again after a few hundred Hz had passed and it lasted right to the end It goes out around 11,000 for me, but it depends on the volume; to hear it at 11K I have to crank the volume to levels that would be painful at a lower frequency. Also, it came back for me with cheap headphones but not with the studio headphones, so I suspect what you're hearing at the really high Hz is harmonics and not the actual tone.

deeman Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 it went out at about 15000 for me. Cool video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennis Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I got some nice Sennheiser headphones and at about 24hz it starts to sound like there's a truck outside, and at about 14600hz the noise fades away. pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darling67 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I love this kind'a thing... So, I could start hearing a low hum at around 23 Hz. It came on so gradually, it's hard to pin-point. It faded at around 11,600 Hz... but returned within seconds, and lasted to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I got some nice Sennheiser headphones and at about 24hz it starts to sound like there's a truck outside, and at about 14600hz the noise fades away. pretty cool Got this same result through my Audio Technicas as well. I noticed after about 8k the sound seemed to move around in the stereo spectrum. I'm guessing these are little spots in my own hearing that are dropping out from ear to ear.

Greyrider Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Didn't have any headphones... Mine started at around 40 and ended around 8100.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I know from past experience that I can hear well, well, well above 20000hz but I did learn something interesting. My phone speaker starts responding at about 35hz and goes well up above 18000. I certainly wouldn't call it flat, the drop off starts from about 12000 and you need it pressed against your ear up to about 100. Even though, it surprised me.
