Hearing Age Test
Rising sine tones reveal the highest pitch you can still hear — and the age your ears are hearing at. Grab headphones and find out in under a minute.
GIGGLEUS HEARING AGE
Hearing Age Test
Ears age too, and the highest pitches are usually the first to go. This test plays ten pure tones from 8 kHz up to 20 kHz, one at a time, and stops at the first one you can't hear. Your highest audible tone is matched to a rough "mosquito tone" age chart. Put on headphones — it takes about a minute.

Ears age too, and the highest pitches are usually the first to go. 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.
After 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.
This 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does the hearing age test work?
A. It plays ten pure tones from 8 kHz up to 20 kHz, one at a time, and stops at the first tone you cannot hear. Your highest audible tone is then matched to an estimated hearing age.
Q. What hearing age does each frequency mean?
A. It is a rough chart, not a medical standard: hearing 20 kHz reads as 16, 17 kHz as about 30, 15 kHz as about 50 and 8 kHz as about 70.
Q. Why can't I hear the high tones?
A. It is often the device, not your ears. Phone speakers and many earbuds cannot reproduce very high frequencies well, so try again with headphones at a moderate volume in a quiet room.
Q. Is this a medical hearing test?
A. No. It is a just-for-fun estimate that depends on your device and volume. For real hearing concerns, see an ENT doctor or an audiologist.
