IDK if artifact/noise of the video or not, but 20khz was easier to hear than 17.5 khz on this.

I can hear 18 khz and easily 16 khz on Hearing age test - Estimate the age of your ears - YouTube but only at Max volume

I can’t on test tones though

The narration on what John hannum links really blows your ears out if you max out the volume though (and I needed to increase the volume on Bose headphones a lot to hear 18khz)

Some say YouTube compresses out the high frequency on mobile so I have to try desktop

Also try to see if you can hear mosquito sound

Best to use the original site

I tend to hit 14kHz although rarely i have managed 15kHz

Okay I FINALLY tried the mosquito tone test (Mosquito Tone Audibility Sound Test ) and YAY I can hear it (tho speakers still at max). It works way better on PC than smartphone, perhaps because autocompression algos cut out the high-frequency on mobile phones.

But on the other tests I can only hear 16khz max (also my PC speakers are minimalistic)

Also, when using my BOSE NC700 HEADPHONES with PC I can’t hear ANYTHING above 8 kHz (whereas if I try bose headphones with smartphones I can hear the higher pitch tones on some but not all of the samples)…

I prefer the test I posted previously, but here is another test

 12000. Is that good or bad?

It is useful for tracking. I have been stuck on 14kHz since I started measuring this. I think improving this is likely to be difficult.

How do you support hearing?

A company called Frequency Therapeutics had been working on cloning hair cells (the auditory, nothing to do with hair on the head) for reimplantation to restore hearing. Their clinical trials failed and they’ve now abandoned the effort in that field. I had high hopes as my hearing has declined terribly.

17000Hz and I’m only 30, so going downhill from here ;). From what I’ve read issues appear when you can’t hear 8000Hz so everyone on here is doing fine!

If you want to use that test you need to be sure the headphones can pass 22kHz as most of them stop at 20kHz or even below.
I have a Bose QC 45 and I can hear up to 18kHz with it (I’m 61)
Here is the Bose QC45 frequency response in red vs the AirPods third gen (in green) which are much worse:

Both have a dip above 17kHz approximatively.

Can Urolithin A help us improve our “hearing age”? Urolithin A (UA) One of 4 Promising Agents 2024 by Brian Kennedy of NSU - #243 by adssx

It would be easy to run such a trial:

I have loss of high frequency, more so in one ear. Not super shocking past 60. But you should test both ears. Does it count if I can hear an actual mosquito when it gets close to my ear?:rofl::rofl: Sadly if the mosquito is more than about a foot away from my face, I can’t hear it, and must try to detect it by distinguishing the mosquito from the floater in my left eye. I then test for age related decline in reflexes by trying to clap it dead with my hands.

My test for age related decline is much better than these youtube tests: if you can no longer hear a mosquito or see it amongst all the eye floaters, and can not swat it away, but be forced to become a helpless feasting ground for bold mosquitoes, you are officially on the pathway of decline; now there’s only financial fraud against you in your future as an old vulnerable victim of scammers and mosquitoes, living out your last days in poverty and itching. That’s where rapa comes in, systemically, it sharpens the senses against fraudsters, and in cream form horrifies and repells mosquitoes.
