Cool sample... turns out I can hear up to 16 kHz! (I can hear if a T.V. is left on.) Good to know.

First my eyesight, now this...
I used to be able to hear all the way up to 22kHz when I was about 10 or so I remember being able to tell when anyone switched on a television anywhere in the house.
Nowadays I can hear just about up to 15.5 kHz

Ah well, Dob, I don't feel quite so bad then, at a few days off 64.

M idea was that you could tell age directly from hearing range... Not so, some googling and it seems ther is plenty of variation within age groups:

BTW, mine is bad for my age, just 11 KHz at 47 yr... definitely handicaped and going deaf!
