Be Excellent To Each Other

I can just about make out 30hz if I really strain. 40hz is slightly audible. 50hz is fine. I can't hear anything once it gets past 8khz.

I win, because in absolute silence I can hear a dozen or so frequencies at once.

*tinnitussadface*

Can you provide everyone with a reference set of speakers?

about 25hz to about 15khz

edit: I have nice headphones.

I can't hear any of the lower ones because I was using an ipad. The higher ones I could hear up to about 14

I was frightened I couldn't hear anything, but then I remembered I don't have speakers on my work computer.

30hz - 15kHz. It's added pointlessness as the compression has wiped out all the high frequencies (you're hearing mostly artifacts above 8kHz I reckon). Normally I can hear about 20kHz, including whatever sort of bats live in my roof.

I can hear everything between 4 seconds and 4:54, which seems to be about 20hz up to 16KHz or so (using headphones as the laptop speakers are shite).

Not too bad considering the number of concerts I've been to and the big chunk of my teenage years I spent with a walkman on the go.

L-lol. You star!

70-15k, but this is on the imac built in speakers.

On my Creative speakers at home, I could hear from about 25 Hz - 15 KHz.

Everything from a few seconds in through to about 17 kHz here, on an amp and some old TDL speakers. Apparently, 1 kHz and 15 kHz are two of my tinnitus noises. Bleh.

You can't do a hearing test like this unless the headphones or speakers can reproduce the audio properly in the first place. + What Kalmar said.

That's not bats. That's ('former mental poster' - Ed).

What does this mean? That when you hear those things they're painful? Or that you hear those two all the time?

ALSO: I don't really like sine waves. Too whistly. Give me a nice triangle or square wave, please.

The artifacts on that are terrible.

But certainly without that I'd have a range of pretty much 20Hz-20KHz

20hz-18khz.

But then a lot of the time complete silence sounds like about 13khz to me

I can hear 20hz to about 16khz.

And now my ears are ringing.

I am using a Zeppelin Air streamed from iPad.

Even so it seems I'm rather deaf in comparison to everyone else. But that may be because my ears are rather clogged at the minute after a cold.

All the time. I have at least three or four distinct high-pitched tones in my right ear and maybe on fewer in my left. The right ear's gone really bad over the past six months. When I was younger, I used to be able to ignore my tinnitus, and then I was at the point that even light noise would be distracting enough. Right now, I'm in front of my Mac with an album playing out of my speakers, and I can still hear the loudest of the tones. At night, just for a change, I also sometimes get low rumbling noises in my ears, too, like a car turning over. That one's especially fun.

tl;dr: if you don't have permanent tinnitus, hope that remains the way forever, because there's fuck all you can do about it and it has a tendency to get worse over time.

20 was quite but I could hear all the way to 500. I stopped then as it hurt my ears

Using as set of BOSE desktop speakers (the small ones about the size of a pack of 20 fags)

I get very occasional tinnitus in one ear. High range whistling. Only lasts a few seconds. It's horrible. I feel for you.

I get that too, and at one point was getting it worryingly regularly. The scary thing for me is if the tone doesn't go away. Still, here's hoping ongoing research will one day bear at least some fruit on easing the condition.

I could hear up to 17khz. 18 was inaudible. The low frequencies, however... I don't think I could hear anything before 100!

edit: No wait, I can hear right down to 20. My speakers were just too quiet/probably shit.
