Hi all.
Try giving this ago. There are a bunch of mp3 files HERE . Have a listen to them and post the number of the last one you can hear.

Last one I can hear is 19Khz.

Regards
James

My hearing damage occurred while in the employ of the U.S. Navy as a first loader on a 3-inch, 50mm anti-aircraft dual mount gun. At that time the navy didn't have hearing protectors, and for the most part, didn't think there was a problem. Consequently, everything on that page is now out of my hearing range. Getting old compounded the problem.

Thanks for the post,

Gary

17Khz is seriously good though. Well above average.

lol... it's not a contest.
I'm sure people don't feel they have to lie about what they can and can't hear.

There's not a music note in the world that would approach even the lowest sound on that website.
