I wear hearing protection “religiously”, so no surprise that my hearing at 52 is pretty good, just wish my vision matched!
I downloaded a few apps and one was a full hearing test. I was surprised at my results.

Up to 500 hz, down a bit. I believe this is from heavy machinery work from my early work career (Gas Turbines, Steam Turbines, boilers, steam blows, air blows, etc.).

500-5000 very good in both ears. Above 7000, it appears my left ear is down a bit. test only went to 10,000 Hz.
