 This test only proved one thing. I am old. And yep, as expected, my sensitivity to sounds above a certain frequency is like....nil? Perfectly average for the 40 and up crowd. :D

Testing consisted of the following rig:

Dell L702X laptop.
USB -> Headphone amplifier "dongle" -> Sony NC60 cans.
Swapped the cans for Beats Audio in ear buds, retested.
Swapped ear buds for HP brand communication headset, over the ear open style.
Swapped them all out and just listened to the built in 2.1 speakers in laptop - then again over open air shelf speakers.

My hearing cuts off at the same damn frequency every time! >.< Grrrrrr. I'll be deaf as a post come age 60 onward.

I need to borrow me a 9 year old kid from someone and have them check and make sure it's not equipment malfunction. :P
