Hearing test. |
|
|
Hi all. Yesterday i had a hearing test done at the ENT doctors. I was in for
some wax removal. The test showed I have severe rolloff of high frequencies.
The right ear was 4kz and the left ear was 8khz. So, im laughing at the stereo
components that have to have up to 100khz frequency. I can't hear it anyway!

Wow - that is much more than normal hearing loss at that age. I figure you
were a fan of really loud music in the past?
One ear is about 15kHz for me, the other 18kHz. I am 35. |

Don't be sad. The typical ENT tests are grossly inadequate to show
anything except thresholds in the speech range. If you really want to
know what you can hear, you need a more comprehensive test in an
isolation chamber or get Audio-CD (and find your own quiet place).

Bob,
Welcome to the real world! ;-)
I had my last audiometry about four years ago. I was
surprised that my hearing was still quite good for my age
(44). If I recall correctly some key points of my hearing
threshold were:
20 Hz at 70 dB SPL
1kHZ at 30 dB SPL
16kHz at 40dB SPL
So, I can join you in the laughing about "high-end" specs
which are not auduble...
Cheers,
Franco |

I had it done a few moths ago (while buying hearing protection), still above
average for my age (31 years old).
But are you a right handed drummer with that right ear 4K rolloff?
