YOU SAY YOU'RE PREGNANT? GIRL OR BOY?

That's a good one HLJ

SG: Thanks for the clip. I hear nothing before 300 Hz & nothing after 9 kHz. However, it drives my bunk mate nuts. LOL. I for see hours of this clip as revenge for his snoring

Uh huh. :biggrinje

Hell, I read in the paper this week about several blind officers. Dedication, experience and enthusiasm, counts a lot, so hang in there, Sarge.






Besides, you'd be dangerous out on the streets. :lol2:

Very true, or just leave them at home.:lol2:

Okay, well first off, Pilau really did not like that!

secondly, is it a bad sign that I couldn't hear anything until about a minute in? I started to discern (above the background noise of the laptop) a note at 1:05 then lost sound at 4:33 and got a wobble of sound back at 4:37 then it vanished.

I think that video's bogus. My kids heard the same thing (the lost sound at 4:33, the returned wobble at 4:37, and then gone again) and their hearing is a damn sight better than most adults. I think YouTube itself drops the high and low frequencies in its compression.

I had problems with the low end ,not until about 30 hz
I lost the hi end at 4:43

I lost it after 14 Khz. I can hear fine except, like SG, I have a "figure ground problem". Voices in public places are the auditory equivalent of polar bears in a snowstorm.

It doesn't claim to be an accurate test - but you do need to listen with headphones. I've just tried it without and I couldn't hear a thing until 1.30 minutes (90-100) whereas I heard it from the start on headphones. Then again I know this pc is very quiet.

What surprised me was that I didn't lose the higher sound much sooner thanks to background traffic.
I figured I always hear lower noises better.
Which is why I can't hear well when walking along a busy road - a bus goes past and the other person might as well be miming.

Turns out if other people took helium I'd be okay!

Twat ??
I Cunt Hear you !!
My ears Must be inFuckted !!!

;) ;) ;)

I lost the tone at 13 kHz. I spent some time sleeping under running jet engines and currently spend a lot of time around rumbling trucks.

My ears hurt a little after taking the test. I had the volume down fairly low too. I took it with my kids, and we all got about the same results (don't remember the numbers), except they didn't complain about ear pain afterwards.

Thanks to a bout of menigitis I have seriously deminished hearing in my right ear. For about 2 weeks I couldn't hear out of it at all, but then the eardrum finally hemorrhaged and I slowley regaind some of the hearing. Apparently, the skin begins to rebuild itself from the center of the eardrum and works its way out the ear canal... so I still have nasty ulcerated flesh in there... the position just changes bit by bit... I go back to the doctor tomorrow for a 3rd follow up.

I had to remind Flint that if he was talking on that side of me the likelyhood that I didn't hear him was pretty high...

My mom has been deaf in her left ear for most of her life. As a result she brought us up signing, and following suit... I am teaching our children to sign.

Pooka, meet Tink. Tink, Pooka.

You could learn a lot about teaching children to sign from her. All our kids sign (well, all the adults too, duh). Since we have a deaf son, signing is our best option.
