Upper Limit of hearing...?

Edit post Edit   Reply to this post Reply   Reply to this post Quote  
I did a hearing test last night and found I could hear just after/as 17kHz was announced. I'm 37 so I wasn't sure if this is low for my age. I was a bit depressed I couldn't hear up to at least 18kHz but on Wikipedia it said most adults can't hear above 16kHz, so perhaps it's not so bad.

I was in a band for 6 years with really silly noise levels once or twice a week, and often sudden feedback shreaks, etc. Before then I could just about hear those teenage repeller sirens in my late 20s. That said, my environment is otherwise unusually quiet.
