![]() Sound level calibration is a prerequisite to properly measuring hearing loss. This page's hearing test assesses the same frequency range. Their target frequencies reside in the 125-8,000 Hz range, generally not above that. Audiologists are interested in frequencies that are important for clear understanding of speech, not the frequencies that make high-fidelity audio recordings enjoyable. Although it can be effectively used to measure the upper limit of your hearing down to 8 kHz, it doesn't test the same frequencies as those measured by an audiologist. We did not expect this test to be used as a regular hearing test. Originally, the test was intended to measure the highest frequency one can hear, assessing the very last octaves of our hearing and the frequencies that we are supposed to hear when we are young and in good health. Since then, it has become one of our most popular pages too. Our High Frequency Hearing Test was one of our first featured tests, back in 2007. ![]()
