I'm 65 y/o, last year I tested 14khz on the Tone Generator. This year I only got to 12,800hz!!! I found that its best to turn the volume up when testing your hearing on this. Post your results and age?:😀 Online Tone Generator - Free, Simple and Easy to Use.
You guys are doing well.
Test: Online Tone Generator - Free, Quick, No Sign Up Required.
Only use headphones unless you want to destroy tweeters.

Online Tone Generator - Hearing Test Results: Is your hearing better or worse than average?
Its a very crude test as theres no set dB levels.
Luckily for us as we age and go deaf to high frequencies the highest fundamentals in music are usually well under 5kHz Range (music - Wikipedia)
So were getting a free inbuilt harmonic distortion filter that improves year after year.

14600 at age 62 🙂 but before you get too despondent remember that from 14500 - 19000 is only 4 and a bit semitones... it really isn't the end of the world🙂🙂 just enjoy the music. I'm astonished by the number of members on here who have hearing aids and/or tinnitus, and they're still into music!!! I just hope I get to be so lucky 🙂
Beware of the risk of damaging your hearing by performing hearing tests upon yourself!
In the UK, you can book a free hearing test at Boots who will provide you with a personal audiogram.

It's only when your hearing falls below 10KHz that you start to lose significant music content, mainly the cymbals
Tests like this are nonsense. First, the frequency response of your headphone is unknown, and it is not ruler flat for sure. Second, sensitivity of human ear at various frequencies is level-dependent. You have to test under controlled environment, and I think even at the audiology clinic only deviation from average is determined. Or their headhones come factory calibrated with the measuring rig.

For slight hearing loss, yes, your speakers/phones have larger errors.
When hearing loss becomes problematic, the ear-loss is larger than any likely transducer error. Shown below is a +/-9dB zone around "flat", which covers a lot of hi-fi gear; and the ear curves of a 57 yo and a 80+ yo man. Once the highs start to go, they go WAY low. (The 57yo first noticed around 50 that his left speaker "didn't hiss" and he could not get a proper stereo image, due to the 20+dB diff around 2.5KHz.)
Yes, Audiometers are well calibrated. Quick-test sets are stable within several dB, which is plenty good for the purpose. Diagnostic sets for prescribing correction now come with a calibration bench (very expensive).

I guess these sorts of test are useful in a limited way. Most people just report "I can hear up to 14 kHz!", or similar. But do you have holes elsewhere, like in the upper midrange? That's common from damage or infections. And what about thresholds? How sensitive is your hearing?
Notice also that these tests do nothing to measure your ability to correctly identify pitch or level changes. Those are both pretty basic skills.

The tone generator tones are undithered and that is bad. Did not check other test tones. Be careful with online web tests.

Chirps, sweeps and noises are not so easy to tell. There is a link to "high quality test tone generator" in that page and the 16-bit tone is also undithered.
My suggestion - download Arta, it has a generator of various shapes with save to wav option, generate your own tone and choose dither for 16 bit tone. Much more reliable than online links. Or generate and save in Audacity. Both will be better.
This? Professional Online Audio Frequency Signal Generator I should have been more specific, that's what I meant. I have used it for LF listening tests since the others were audibly inferior. Again, my chromebook limits my options
Yes. I downloaded the basic tone (means I have not checked the 32 bit option) and it is badly dithered or undithered. You do not need the super notebook, just download the file and even the analysis in Audacity should tell. Just analyze the file.
Audacity (R) | Free, open source, cross-platform audio software for multi-track recording and editing.
For real time analysis with a soundcard and loopback measurements, Arta is also free and very good.

Thanks Pavel. A chromebook is a toy, not a real computer, more an internet terminal. Maybe one day I will get a proper computer so I can join in the fun and games 😀
