If you turn your headphones up to max you score better

 

This is not administered by a doctor but definitely gives an indicator.

 

Hearing damage is all to do with the period of time you expose yourself to loud noise. I.e two songs on your ipod at a loud level isnt advised but probably wont make much difference.

 

Listening to an hour long mix on the way to work every day at the same level will deteriorate hearing. As for exteneded mix sessions on the decks, well everyone should have those special musicians earplugs for that.

 

One of my Mum's best friends has been severely hearing impaired for years, it has been truly heartbreaking to watch her condition deteriorate as she becomes more isolated from the world she used to enjoy

I can hear 19. Pretty good but no idea why I'd need to hear those frequencies tbh.

Was talking with an audio afficiando last night who correctly pointed out that you would need speakers or headphones that emit those top frequencies.

I can't hear 15kHz (albeit on a laptop). Test is rubbish. I used to get tested twice a year for work and my hearing was surprisingly good.
