Controls

Ear: Duration 1000 ms Fade 40 ms

Level -20 dB (relative)

Frequency 20 Hz

Shortcut: H / N; play: Space

Tip: Use good headphones in a quiet room. Start low level, increase slowly.

Each frequency below represents a specific pitch tested during a hearing test. A person with very sharp hearing can detect sounds at very low volumes across all frequencies, while a person with weaker hearing might only hear louder sounds or might have difficulty hearing certain pitches.

20 Hz: Very low bass sound. Sharp ear: can hear faint rumble. Weak ear: may not hear this very low pitch.
25 Hz: Very low sound, felt more than heard. Sharp ear: can detect softly. Weak ear: often missed.
31.5 Hz: Low bass, like distant thunder. Sharp ear: audible at low volume. Weak ear: usually inaudible.
40 Hz: Low rumbling tone. Sharp ear: faintly audible. Weak ear: may be hard to hear.
50 Hz: Low bass note. Sharp ear: hears soft sounds. Weak ear: might need louder sounds.
63 Hz: Bass drum range. Sharp ear: hears quietly. Weak ear: often missed unless loud.
80 Hz: Low tone. Sharp ear: detects faint sound. Weak ear: might not hear clearly.
100 Hz: Bass range. Sharp ear: hears soft sound. Weak ear: hears only louder tones.
125 Hz: Low bass tone. Sharp ear: easily hears it. Weak ear: might struggle at low volumes.
160 Hz: Low mid-range. Sharp ear: hears well. Weak ear: needs louder sounds.
200 Hz: Bass to mid-range transition. Sharp ear: hears faint sound. Weak ear: might miss soft sounds.
250 Hz: Lower mid-range tone. Sharp ear: clear detection. Weak ear: hears louder only.
315 Hz: Mid-range. Sharp ear: hears well at low volume. Weak ear: might have difficulty.
400 Hz: Mid-tone. Sharp ear: detects easily. Weak ear: may miss soft tones.
500 Hz: Mid-range pitch. Sharp ear: hears faint sound. Weak ear: louder sounds only.
630 Hz: Mid to high mid-range. Sharp ear: clear detection. Weak ear: might struggle with softer tones.
800 Hz: High mid-range. Sharp ear: hears well. Weak ear: needs louder level.
1000 Hz (1 kHz): Standard speech frequency. Sharp ear: hears faint sounds well. Weak ear: may miss quiet speech sounds.
1250 Hz: Slightly above 1 kHz. Sharp ear: clear detection. Weak ear: might miss soft tones.
1600 Hz: Upper mid-range. Sharp ear: detects faint tones. Weak ear: needs louder sound.
2000 Hz (2 kHz): Important for speech clarity. Sharp ear: hears well. Weak ear: struggles with soft speech.
2500 Hz: High speech frequency. Sharp ear: clear detection. Weak ear: might need louder sounds.
3150 Hz: High pitch tone. Sharp ear: hears easily. Weak ear: may miss quieter sounds.
4000 Hz (4 kHz): High pitch, often first to show hearing loss. Sharp ear: hears faint sounds. Weak ear: may have trouble.
5000 Hz (5 kHz): High frequency. Sharp ear: clear detection. Weak ear: needs louder sound.
6300 Hz: Very high frequency. Sharp ear: detects faint sounds. Weak ear: often missed.
8000 Hz (8 kHz): Very high pitch. Sharp ear: hears well. Weak ear: may hear only loud tones.
10000 Hz (10 kHz): Extremely high pitch. Sharp ear: hears faintly. Weak ear: usually not heard.
12500 Hz: Very high frequency. Sharp ear: faint detection. Weak ear: mostly missed.
16000 Hz (16 kHz): Near the upper limit of hearing. Sharp ear: may hear faintly. Weak ear: not heard.
18000 Hz: Ultra high pitch. Sharp ear: faint or no hearing. Weak ear: silent.
20000 Hz (20 kHz): Highest pitch audible to young ears. Sharp ear: barely audible. Weak ear: silent.

About Levels & Calibration

This tool outputs relative levels (dB) via Web Audio. Actual SPL depends on your device and headphones. For a rough reference, press Calibrate @ 1 kHz and adjust your system volume so −20 dB is clearly audible yet comfortable in a quiet room. From there, only change the in‑app level. For clinical accuracy, use calibrated equipment with an audiologist.
