-- How high does your hearing go?

How high does your hearing go?

I was just doing poor man compensation of room acoustics with a generated sine wave and eq, and found my cap at age 21 is 17.3 khz... My mother, age 42 couldn't hear above 15.3 khz.

Anyone ever tried to measure this with himself?

theres a test you can do. it was posted here some while back think i could hear between 17 - 20khz.

just take a look at speaker frequencies in average, on general they are made to serve the human ear.

anyway your test is a good idea. do it with a count of people and you know which frequencies to use in your productions.

i had an audiology test done and strangely i hear better at 20khz than 16 or 18.

i can hear the sound of a tv , and not just mine but almost any one that ive tried to hear. i meen the sound of the screen with the sound on mute , it makes this i pitch hissing sound that is actually super loud. i can close my eyes an tell if the screen is showing a darker image or lighter image. the lighter the screen e.i. white makes a higher pitch freq. try this and tell me if you can hear thesame , none of my friends can hear it and they thought i was nuts when i was talking about it hahaha

I can hear whether the TV's on, even if it's muted. I'm not sure how high that frequency actually is, though.

I made this test a while back:

I have some trouble hearing low frequencies with my right ear (thanks to that fucking gimp shooting a blank right before my ear at the army) but I never had any trouble with high frequencies.

Mr Mystery is an army man eh? I guess that solves the mystery of why Mr. Mystery is always so fussy.

My right ear is booby-doo as well. Some twat at a party tripped over a PSU for a big stack of speakers I was standing next to (my fault). And POP.

Yea. Plus I have a sinus infection in my right ear! Needless to say... my mixes have been swinging right.

But I compensate.

I wouldn't had even known about my hearing issue if I hadn't just had the doctor tell me about it... it never bothered me in any way.

Tested up to 19Khz and heard that I think I can go little further...
