Why high frequencies go first
The hair cells sensing the highest pitches sit at the most fragile end of the cochlea and wear out first, dropping roughly one kilohertz per decade from age twenty onward.
Understanding your result
A result near zero means your high frequency hearing matches your age. Positive numbers mean it resembles someone that many years older, while negative means younger ears than the calendar.
Test cautions
- Cheap speakers and headphones cut off the highest tones and fake an old result
- Test in a quiet room at moderate volume
- Differences between ears matter and deserve an audiogram
Protecting what remains
Keep headphone volume under sixty percent, use protection at concerts and with power tools, and treat hearing protection as a lifelong habit.
