Just below very good (about 98) for me

Huh? Pardon?

ST.George · « **Reply #4 on:** March 14, 2015, 08:55:55 AM »

30 for me! It said "See doctor" and I will ASAP!

Daughter was 100 and Mother Terese 80.
I do have that ringing in the ears problem - what's it called "Tinnitus" or something similar.

the fine hairs in the canals must of repaired themselves over time.

Tipsy, your hearing loss may be in the lower registers, which can happen when working around heavy machinery.

My test swas average, but the room was noisy and I'm not sure if the ear buds have a good high frequency response

85 for me. Maybe the Army experience of a 25 pound shell exploding near us hasnt helped

18 for me and 70 for SWMBO; very close to our respective ages.

I see you've solved the challenge of posting actual posts to have a modest history on the forum.

I'm not sure what it is that you are alluding to.

95 right
85 left

good news for me and will be investing in some flash ear plugs at the rally to keep it that way.

They have a version of Braille for the "hearing challenged"?

I'll settle for subtitles or closed captions.

just barely one needle width above '90 year old WW2 artillery veteran.'
Too many years riding around inside buttoned down MBT's with nasty people lobbing very loud, nasty, exploding things at us.

I got just under 100 or around 14,000 Hz.

Of course it will depend on the quality of the headphones and what amount of amplification is provided.

Rough indication bu not as god as a proper hearing test.

Williamson · « **Reply #19 on:** March 15, 2015, 07:15:45 AM »

I couldn't hear anything, even with earphones.

My hearing has been juicy-fruited for years, also an occupational hazard, but in my situation probably from working in bars with very, very, very loud bands back in the 70's & 80's.

Bikebear · « **Reply #20 on:** March 15, 2015, 09:24:30 PM »

Mine tested average but I still have trouble hearing in noisy environments like crowded pubs and bars. I think it's called industrial deafness.

Marcus · « **Reply #21 on:** March 25, 2015, 06:18:58 PM »

I got 110 but I wasn't using headphones so maybe that would change

cravenhaven · « **Reply #22 on:** March 26, 2015, 08:31:58 AM »

Not too bad I think. Grandma in my left ear and fair in the right. At 62 Grandma is probably acceptable :)

Probably should wear ear protection more often, but.....

WendyL · « **Reply #23 on:** March 26, 2015, 12:58:43 PM »

Maybe I should try it again when I eventually save up the $$$ to buy the hearing aids I've been prescribed. Problem is they would cost more than replacing my ST.......

I guess it's all about priorities

grantie · « **Reply #24 on:** March 26, 2015, 06:54:01 PM »

110 for me, which is a surprise seeing as i have worked with noisy machines for 35 yrs, and i cant alwys here swambo
