Why Old Screens Make A ᴴᶦᵍʰ ᴾᶦᵗᶜʰᵉᵈ Noise [Tom Scott] - General

17200 is where it sounds like loud tinnitus to me and anything above that just sounds like faint rattling cans

[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;52455741]Fuck me, it just cut out completely at 14kHz. I didn't think my hearing was this bad.[/QUOTE] Is that... Bad? It cut out around 13900 for me [editline]11th July 2017[/editline] Okay with the tone generating site it's going higher, particularly in my left ear. Between 14500-600 there is a faint feeling of sounds, but after that all ceases.

[QUOTE=DeEz;52456427]I hope you're not implying the game's not for you due to your bad reaction caused by age, because that'd be cause for alarm at such a young age.[/QUOTE] Oh it's certainly not all because of age, but I can definitely tell I'm not as good at FPSes as others these days, even given similar levels of practice. Though my hearing might not be that bad, I used the site on the other page and got to around ~17.2Khz before I couldn't hear anything, which seems decent enough for someone my age.

[QUOTE=butre;52455966][url]http://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/[/url] use this site for finding where your hearing gives out. it's 14.6 khz for me. I'm old.[/QUOTE] I can still hear up to 16,475 Hz in my right ear, 16,350 Hz for my left, but is it wierd if i can still [i]feel[/i] up to 20 khz (i cant hear it but i can feel it ringing through my head)? Is that bad, considering i'm 19? I think that probably has to do with the two occassions i got nasty ear infections and temporarily lost my hearing in each individual ear for about a month each (at different times of course, and twice for my left.)

this is a pretty useful website in determining the quality of your audio. lower quality audio will contribute aliasing which causes you to hear incorrect frequencies when doing tone generator tests. [URL]http://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_aliasing.php[/URL] also i think this blind test below is more reliable in assessing your upper limit hearing range than just a sine wave being played on its own. the way it works is, it will play white noise containing 0-22kHz frequencies and white noise with a range of frequencies removed. you have to be able to tell the difference between the 2 samples of white noise to actually determine your upper limit. This test minimizes the affect of aliasing with noise. [URL="http://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_frequency.php?frq=10"]for example can you tell the difference between full range white noise and white noise under 10kHz?[/URL] [URL="http://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_frequency.php?frq=18"]ok, now what about 18kHz?[/URL] [URL="http://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_frequency.php?frq=20"]you are a god if you can pass this[/URL]

Despite becoming partially deaf from loud music and construction noise, I can still here the squeal of the horizontal sweep. Even more incredible is that I could hear an [B]extremely[/B] high pitched bird deterrent that gave me a pain in my ears and a headache.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;52455564]Wow, I can't hear it. I was sure I'd be able to hear it. [editline]10th July 2017[/editline] Shit, according to this: [video=youtube;H-iCZElJ8m0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-iCZElJ8m0[/video] I can't hear anything past 15600Hz[/QUOTE] Wierd, mine cuts off at around ~18000Hz

[QUOTE=smileykiller447;52458662]Wierd, mine cuts off at around ~18000Hz[/QUOTE] The audio in that video doesn't contain any frequencies over like 17.5kHz due to YT compressing it.

[QUOTE=Chubbs;52467164]The audio in that video doesn't contain any frequencies over like 17.5kHz due to YT compressing it.[/QUOTE] now i feel bamboozled

[QUOTE=Scratch.;52456283]Only 21 and I'm at 14.4khz[/QUOTE] been a week and it's climbed to like 15k :what: Tinnitus?
