That is the idea behind the classic \"mosquito tone\" test: younger listeners can often still hear tones near 17–20 kHz, while many adults stop noticing them somewhere along the way. This Hearing Age Test turns that idea into a quick check you can run in your browser.\n\nAfter a 1 kHz test sound to set a comfortable volume, it plays ten pure tones one at a time — 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 kHz — and stops at the first one you cannot hear. Your highest audible tone is matched to a rough age chart: 20 kHz reads as 16, 17 kHz as about 30, 15 kHz as about 50 and 8 kHz as about 70. You also see the exact top frequency you reached, plus a result card to share with friends.\n\nThis is a just-for-fun estimate, not a medical hearing test. Phone speakers and many earbuds struggle to reproduce very high tones, so your device and volume can change the result a lot. Keep the volume moderate and stop if anything feels uncomfortable. If you notice real changes in your hearing, see an ENT doctor or an audiologist.",{"ogTitle":6,"ogDescription":7},"Hearing Age Test | Mosquito Tone Check, 8–20 kHz - Giggleus","👂 Ten tones from 8 to 20 kHz find the highest pitch you can still hear and estimate your hearing age.
