As we grow older we often lose the extreme ends of our hearing spectrum \u2013 so how many of the following sounds can you hear?<\/h3>\n

How old are your ears? <\/h3>\n

Anyone who isn\u2019t hearing impaired should be able to hear 8000 Hz. But if you can hear 12,000 Hz, you\u2019re probably under 50. The test goes on:<\/p>\n

15,000 Hz \u2013 under 40

\n\t16,000 Hz \u2013 under 30

\n\t17,000 Hz \u2013 under 24

\n\t19,000 Hz \u2013 under 20<\/p>\n

If you can hear all of them, you\u2019re probably under 20 years old.<\/p>\n

Unlike other organs, the inner ear doesn\u2019t regenerate. And we stop hearing the higher pitches first because the hair cells in the ear tuned to them are the first to wear down as we age.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why as we get older, it\u2019s harder to hear higher pitches.<\/p>\n

So how old are YOUR ears?<\/p>\n
