Test your hearing


Recommended Posts

I recalled this test after reading the Test your speakers post just now.

Test your hearing:

http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/hearing.html

Instructions and warnings are all on the same page.

Do read them all.

I took this test some years ago, remembering to take a screen shot of the results (which I have to dig up from some backup in any case). I don't have those cheap headphones anymore, so that would probably distort any attempt at doing a comparison today, since they would have a different frequency response.

It would be interesting if people posted a screen shot of their.. curves, though.

(The web site/document also has a lot of information on the physics of various instruments. See the menu on the left for that.)

I tried seeing what the lowest db that I could hear all the freqs was and this is what I got. Might not be too accurate. Interesting test though.
