Took the first test: can't here 22,000 Hz or 20 or 50. Second test: couldn't here 22.4 kHz test 3: confirms, 22 kHz can't be heard by me test 4: 20 Hz part of the time (sup with that?), 30-60 Hz no.
Interesting tests! I especially want to test my dad later, since we know he has hearing loss though he would never admit it.
So I guess my hearing in the upper range is pretty good for a 27-year-old (I haven't done a whole lot of listening to loud music), but what's up with my hearing in the lower range? Did you read anything about whether people get hearing loss at the low end or when or why? My computer speakers aren't great also, and for the 2 tests that had low ranges, a couple of the frequencies I could hear at first (I think..there was a low trilling sound) but not when replayed, so maybe that has to do with it?
