Is this hearing age test medically accurate?

No. This is a screening tool, not a clinical audiogram. A real audiogram is conducted in a sound-treated booth with calibrated equipment at speech frequencies (250 Hz to 8 kHz). This online test focuses on extended-high frequencies (8 kHz to 22 kHz) on uncalibrated consumer hardware, so the result is approximate. Use it as a fun curiosity check; if you suspect real hearing loss, see an audiologist.

Why do headphones matter so much for this test?

Most laptop speakers, phone speakers, and cheap earbuds roll off sharply above 14-16 kHz - the driver simply cannot reproduce frequencies that high. If you fail to hear 17 kHz on a laptop speaker, that is the speaker, not your ears. Wired over-ear or in-ear headphones with a known frequency response give the most honest result.

What is the mosquito tone?

The mosquito tone is a 17,400 Hz sine wave. It got its name from the Mosquito anti-loitering device, deployed in UK shops from 2005 onward because the tone was painful to teenagers but inaudible to most adults over 25. It is the classic informal age test: if you can clearly hear 17.4 kHz through quality headphones at moderate volume, your high-frequency hearing is younger than the average 25-year-old's.

Will Bluetooth or wireless headphones affect my result?

Yes, often dramatically. SBC and AAC Bluetooth codecs apply a low-pass filter above 16-20 kHz to save bandwidth, so your wireless headphones may be silently cutting the very frequencies the test depends on. For accurate hearing-age results use wired 3.5mm or wired USB-C headphones. If you only have Bluetooth, expect your result to skew older than reality.

Тест Возраста Слуха

Safety first

Use wired headphones at low volume. Most laptop speakers cannot reproduce frequencies above 14-16 kHz, which will fake-fail the test. High-frequency tones can damage hearing without feeling loud — start at 20-30% system volume and turn up only if you need to.

Volume 40%

Heads-up: this step plays above 16 kHz. If you are on laptop or phone speakers, the speaker will silently roll off — use headphones for an honest result.

Drag from 8 kHz to 22 kHz to find the exact frequency where the tone disappears for you. More precise than the 12-step screening above.

Tip: this is a screening tool, not a medical audiogram. For diagnostic results, see an audiologist.
