Right up to the top for me, but once I reach 18khz, I just get lowish frequency harmonics. Is that windows media player, mp3 compression, bad speakers or just freaky ears?

My left ear can hear up to 13kHz, my right up to 15kHz.
Used Sony pro studio headphones (MDR-v6)
I'm 47 years old, and ruptured my left eardrum due to barotrauma.
Saved me the cost of a hearing test... ;)

Can barely hear 15 KHz with a good set of speakers.
As an mp3 this file causes my Video iPod to crash! Works when converted to AAC.
Oh, and I've been 39 for the past 6 years;-)

I could hear all the way to the top, 22KHz baby :) The Linux Flash 9 player crapped out at 17KHz, but playing the wav in totem sorted that out.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to mop the blood up out of my ears :)
