Seems to work and seems to be a sort of basic fun indicator. It's quite normal for age to degrade hearing, but I think many audio/hifi people might be shocked to know to what extent within the population statistically, and at what young age, the phenonemum starts. And how much degradation has occurred even by age 35 for a majority of the population. Well worth a search on the web for what is considered normal by age, by percentile of the population, and how it changes as one gets older. It's rare to escape what seems to be a natural law. I don't seem to have records of the links, but there's well researched data avail - scary stuff though.

However, if you're at all concerned on the basis of this test a visit to the audiologist seems prudent......

Flat across at the c -10dB level, which I think they consider to be the low end of normal. But do not sweat it, check out the population spread.

Did you use speakers and calibrate it? If so what kind of speakers?

I can't hear above below 30-40 using speakers, except for 8000hz where I can hear 20, and my hearing is pretty good or so I thought. With IEMs I can hear all of them, but IEMs are not as accurate and I think headphones aren't either.

Also, how old are you?

Not sure where you are drawing the conclusion that IEM and headphones are less accurate than speakers, generally except for relatively cheap devices and very high quality speakers I would expect the reverse to be true..

If ambient noise levels are sufficiently high to mask the the signal from your speakers this could be part of the problem. Calibration is also an issue
