I can't hear anything above 10kHz. My husband can hear up to 14.9. My 8.5 year old and 11 year old both could hear up to 16.7kHz.

I find it extremely odd that my family can hear so many more noises than I can, lol.

I can hear the 18.8kHz, the one after that gives me a slight buzz feeling in my ear but i can't hear it well.

 

I can hear up to the 15.8kHz.

 

Same here, 15.8khz

 

17.7khz. considering how loud i listen.. id say thats good. lol

 

So tell me, why can't we hear certain frequencies when we get older?

 

Because we're too cool for that kid stuff.

 

Daskid, I'm sure it's just like our vision. Our vision goes (most of us will need reading glasses later in life) and so does our hearing.

 

I can hear the 19.9

 

i heard the 21.1 somewhat. but couldnt hear the highest one. that trips me out! my dogs over here going crazy!

 

lol i can hear them all when i get close and turn my head side to side towards the speakers... but i was in band... i know lame.. but i can hear good.

 

acutually its not "hearing" so much as hair loss. our eardrums cannot pick up this noise on their own, but the individual hairs that lie within our ears vibrate to the frequency and work as ear drums, allowing us to hear the note. as we age, we lose the hair and thus our ability to hear said notes. learned that little tidbit in physics! there ya go have fun with that one!

 

and i thought for all this time it was if we listen to loud music (high SPLs) that could hinder our ability to hear, cutting down the freqs we can hear.

 

i can hear the 16.7 thats it :-/

 

21Khz , with the tv on .. and I listen to loud music and sorta deaf from one ear.

 

18.8

 

I can still get the 21.1. I'm trained in sound engineering, so I try to maintain my hearing...

Wear earplugs at shows if you still want to hear high frequencies in your twenties... who cares if you look like a tool?

 

Happy birthday, Burst!

 

Thanks Jenna!
