wanna find out?
see link below...sweeps from 22KHz down to 12Khz
note> just place your cursor over the bull's eye.

And this,

Using a PC and so on is not the way to get an accurate test. It's OK for a bit of fun, that's all.
I am nearly 47 and can here -- just 16 Khhz. That's using headphones and a lab signal generator. Roll off for me starts around 14 Khz. I would estimate that between 14 and 16 khz the roll off is around 15 db.

I used to have awesome hearing,as a teen. I could hear really low stuff,and really high stuff,20khz+.
TV's and monitors would drive me NUTS from the flyback/HOT squeal. I've tossed a few CRT monitors for that very reason!
I haven't tested my hearing out in a while,but I think it's still "ok".
However,I once went target shooting with a friend,and forgot to get earplugs...I don't think my ears have been the same since.
(So be careful!!)
I've never had very good luck getting clean HF signals out of an 'average' to 'good' PC sound card.
I might have to warm up the function generator.

I don't know how valid most of the "how high" results are, since the level is unknown. Give it enough amplitude and you can probably hear higher. OTOH, at 54, my hearing drops off a cliff at 14.5kHz. The slope is steep and raising the amplitude doesn't change much. I've been very careful with my hearing all my life, but age takes its toll. As a teen I could hear 20kHz, but just barely.
High frequency hearing loss.
I work for a company that deals with a hearing examination accidentally.
If somebody is curious, how his hearing, let him go away then onto a place at which
a deaf room and a some kind of clinical audiometer are.
Than the kind we say it Interacoustic AC40 his audiometer.
It is possible to map the high frequency hearing loss if it is supplied with a suitable headset with this only however.
I see it, the hearing examinations cover the 125-8000 Hz of range only otherwise.
This is because they concentrate on the speech understanding only mostly in this manner apparently.
Although hearing aids are manufactured for music hush.
These are the most expensive ones only. What a joy, not only it,
that the terribly expensive one buys it for himself HI-END audio equipment, may add hearing aid
with a similar price position to him if the former equipment would like to take advantage of its abilities.
The tall frequency hearing decrease, some kind is certain quasi in a measure above 40-50 year ages anyway.
Mainly, if somebody noisy lives in environment.

How may I obtain accurate numbers?
Hi, Mooly!
I do not know it, how the things work in England.
The situation is totally chaotic on Hungary here.
It is public health on his area chiefly.
Where it is possible to advertise hearing aids, where though prohibited to do this. There are however free hearing examination actions. Anybody may go away onto an one like this.
Says it at worst, woe but good, I am not very deaf after all!
With this only that trouble, that than I mentioned it above, there is not an opportunity on most place like this onto the examination with an extended frequency.

Ac40
Yes, I say this. I ask indulgence if my thoughts are not understandable always possibly. This only it due, how I am not top notch properly in English, the machine translation programs totally idiotic. But the higher up mentioned AC40 clinical audiometer suitable onto this examination. If this headset is to it: R-80 High frequency headset.
