O n our website, on exactly this
page (page 25), we have placed a
series of sounds that you can use
to test out your hearing*. These are
sounds which some major
retailers actually use to
keep teenagers from
loitering outside of
their stores. They are
called “Mosquito teen
repeller” and they’re proving quite effective.
8000 hertz (cycles per
second): Everyone should be
able to hear this frequency.
12,000 hertz is difficult for
anyone over 50 to hear.
LISTEN TO THIS!

INDEPENDENTLY OWNED
17,400 Hz is the frequency only
youth/teenagers can hear. Most
people over 19 will not be able to
detect this sound.
How young are your ears? As we age, we can no
longer hear certain high-pitched noises as well as we used to.
This natural aging process is called presbycusis, and it can
begin as early as 18 years young. Presbycusis is a result of the
degeneration of the sensor cells in our ears, and occurs gradually,
initially affecting the ability to hear higher pitched sounds.
There are some foods which are recommended to support
healthy function and cell regeneration of your hearing and
the rest of your body, especially folic acid, which helps your
body generate new cell growth and increase circulation in
the body, and potassium, which regulates the fluid in your
inner ear. It’s important to note that, although hearing loss
cannot be reversed, it can be protected from further damage,
and improved by the use of a hearing device.
Regardless of your age, it is important to have your hearing
checked to have a ‘base’ in which to judge hearing changes.•

NOTE: These sounds are not professional tests, but just for
entertainment and to encourage hearing care and hearing awareness.
If you’re concerned about your hearing and how it is changing as you
age, please have a professional hearing assessment done.
