Shit. Might be time to visit an audiologist.
L = 58
R = 70

I’m 34 and heard the sound around 29-30 on each ear. I’m okay with that considering the tinnitus I’ve had for a couple years.
I had a hearing test as a child. The guy told me I had the hearing of a dog, literally. Pretty sure that’s changed now!
Should have bit the fucker.

Nice my ears are 8 years younger than me. Right now I’d trade a year or two for a good few club night though.

Im 41 and got 29 on the left ear, and 30 on the right. Kinda surprised.
Dave Smith should have taken this test before he approved production of the new Prophet 5/10!

Spookily accurate for me - to the year, in both ears. I’ll take it, given my years in a loud AF band.
im 36 I got 28. my 4 year old got 16, my spouse who is 37 got 45 
I got 33 for my left ear and around 45 for my right. I’m currently 46 years old.
I’m amazed (and relieved) that my hearing isn’t worse. I was a resident dj for a couple of places for around 18 years and was pretty sure that job fucked up my hearing bad.

51 - L=39 - R=45… Something is accurate but the age thing isn’t. I’ve known something was a bit skew whiff since I melted the cone pushing a 15" Celestion speaker in an old Trace Elliot amp playing heavily distorted fuzz bass in an insanely obnoxious band.
That happened when I was 30. At the time I thought it was rad. It wasn’t - being a musician and fucking up your hearing is tragic.

Guys, like he s saying, this is highly unscientific. To do this properly headphones need to be calibrated (volume, frequency response). Just turn the volume up or down and see how many years you win or loose…
Still thought me my right ear is less sensitive than left over 12khz…
Well even though my ears are always ringing, it seems my ears are 3 years younger. That’s promising…
I know this isn’t medical advice, so grain of salt as always!
This is a fun test, however (apart from not being scientific or accurate), the highest frequency you can hear is only one part of the story.
I had my hearing tested recently because of severe tinnitus, and they test your hearing at multiple frequencies.
My hearing was fine from the lowest frequencies up to 6kHz, where I had a sudden drop of 20dB, and a further 10dB drop at 8kHz.
That is actually quite useful to know, more than what the highest frequency is I can hear.

It also struck me - producers go to great length to create a ‘flat’ listening environment, but how many know if their hearing is flat?

I have all sorts of problems in my inner ears and tinnitus.
I’ve had a bunch of “hearing tests” courtesy of our good old NHS.
All of them took place in a room next to a busy, noisy waiting area and every time I was given a set of these to use.
Without saying that this YouTube test is accurate, I’d say it’s at least as useful as any of the other hearing tests I’ve had.

My ears are apparently younger than I am!
Club speakers: 0
Me: 1
Loud machinery and music all my life, so pretty sure it won’t be a good news if I tried the test
15,867hz
31 years old in left year.
15,031hz
36 years old in right ear
I turn 40 in 2 months. (pumps fist!)
Earplugs work. Wish I wore them more as a DJ when I was younger. Right ear was always loud monitor side, left was in the headphones.
Did you also monitor the booth speakers out of your right ear and headphones out of left ear?
