Pretty good one, found here: http://www.digital-recordings.com/hearing-test/www-ht-pro/ht_help_p.htmlThe reason I took it is partially due to the weather. See, I've been able to open the windows at night because the night air has been pleasant recently. As I was laying down last night, I noticed that when I was on my left side with my left ear in the pillow, I could not hear the crickets, but if I was laying on my right side with my right ear in the pillow, I could hear them. Hmmm... So the hearing test results showed a noticeable difference between the sensitivity of my left and right ear, with the right ear being a bit weaker. Don't take this test if you don't want to know your hearing isn't perfect.

Slight to moderate here, couldn't hear a darn thing above 14K. Guess I don't need supertweeters.

Cool test. Fortunately, mine was pretty consistent between each ear. But it was interesting to find that I couldn't hear below 40 Hz or above 14KHz. But above 14 KHz it gave me a little headache. Hmm, maybe I don't need to set the sub crossover too low now... Used my Grado 325i's on the test. Wonder if closed phones would give different results. WIll try my super.fi's at work tomorrow.

Yeah, I had similar things using my closed air Senn HD280Pros. No 20Hz, no 16Hz or above.

I just retook the test (during a break at work) and took a screenshot of the results. The black dots represent "normal" hearing. The red Xs are left ear, and the red Os are the right ear. I'm guessing crickets make a lot of sound in the 6k and/or 11-12k ranges since there's an obvious issue with my right ear there. At least I'm more sensitive to bass than the average ear-owner.

Mine was somewhat normal until the 3k range. What was a surprise to me was I could still hear at the 16K range although at a pretty good deficit.

I will have to try this when I get home, do I need headphones? If so, won't better quality headphones have a better frequency range? Nevermind, just read the instructions,
