Not a diagnostic tool and not a substitute for an audiologist.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real hearing test?
No. It is a curiosity. A real hearing test uses calibrated headphones in a sound-proofed booth and measures the quietest sound you can detect at each frequency, not simply whether a loud tone is audible. Your result here depends enormously on your headphones, your volume and your room.
I could not hear the high tones at all. Should I worry?
Not on this evidence. Most laptop and phone speakers cannot produce 17 kHz in the first place, so hearing nothing may say more about the speaker than your ears. Losing the top of the range with age is normal and happens to everyone.
When should I actually see someone?
If you have ringing in your ears, sounds are muffled, one ear is noticeably worse than the other, or your hearing changed suddenly, see a doctor or audiologist. Do not use a web page to decide.
Is the High Frequency Hearing Test free?
It is free, with no account, no trial and no daily cap. Every audio tests tool on inputtesthub.com works the same way: open the page and use it.
Is what I paste into the High Frequency Hearing Test stored?
No. The High Frequency Hearing Test runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your input never reaches inputtesthub.com or any third party — open your browser's Network tab while you use it and you will see no request go out.
What problem does the High Frequency Hearing Test solve?
The most common reasons people reach for it: a curiosity about where your high-frequency hearing stops. Checking whether headphones reproduce the very top of the range. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
When is the High Frequency Hearing Test not the right tool?
Not a diagnostic tool and not a substitute for an audiologist. Knowing where a tool stops being trustworthy matters more than the cases where it works.
Which values should I know?
Young adult range is up to about 20 kHz. Typical at 30 is up to about 16 kHz. Typical at 50 is up to about 12 kHz. These are printed on the page itself, so you do not have to take them on trust.
Do I need to install anything to run this test?
No installation, no extension and no driver. The High Frequency Hearing Test uses the browser's own device APIs and begins as soon as the page loads, so there is nothing to press first. Press Reset at any point to start over with a clean slate.
