Start with low volume. High frequencies can be painful.

Current Frequency: 8000 Hz

Presbycusis

Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) typically affects the highest frequencies first. While a healthy young adult may hear up to 20,000Hz, this often drops to 14,000Hz or lower by age 40.

Note: This tool is limited by the frequency response of your physical speakers/headphones and is not a medical diagnostic tool.
