How to Use the Hearing Frequency Range & Threshold Tester
-
1
Put on headphones in a quiet room and adjust volume so a standard tone is comfortable.
-
2
Start the High-Frequency Sweep test from 12,000 Hz upward to find the highest frequency you can perceive.
-
3
Compare your maximum audible frequency with general statistical age benchmarks.
-
4
Test left and right ears individually to detect potential ear asymmetry.
Practical Example & Use Case
