8,000 Hz hearing test
Press play to hear a pure 8,000 Hz sine tone. Keep the volume at a comfortable level — never turn it up to chase a tone you cannot hear.
Who can hear 8,000 Hz?
Nearly everyone with healthy hearing can hear 8,000 Hz — it sits at the top of the range used in standard audiograms. If this tone is silent for you on working headphones, it is worth having your hearing checked professionally.
Hearing nothing?
Three things limit a test like this: your ears, your hardware, and your volume. Many laptop speakers cannot reproduce very high frequencies at all, so try headphones before drawing conclusions. For a proper sweep of your range, take the full hearing test.
