Hey, I’d like to do a group hearing test.

Download the frequency generator app of your choice to your smartphone. I use “f Generator” for iOS. Put on headphones or earbuds. Test your ability to hear the high frequencies - start around 6,000 Hz (6 kHz) and go up until you can’t hear the tone anymore.

Report back: 1) what is the highest frequency you can hear, 2) your age, 3) do you have a history of potentially hearing-damaging noise exposure (shooting, construction, rock musician, chopper pilot, etc)?

If you have a young person in your household (kid, etc), report the same result for him/her. If your spouse is game, report the same result for him/her. The more data points the better.

I’ll explain why I got interested in this, and my own results, after a few responses come in. I don’t want to color the reports by going into that too early.
